Echinacea 3600 mg
Jamieson Natural Sources
Overview
Jamieson Echinacea 3600 mg provides a well-regarded dose of Echinacea top extract, an herb with established, albeit modest, immune-supporting properties. While the '3600 mg' refers to a raw herb equivalent and the actual extract amount per capsule is 600 mg, this daily dosage of 1800 mg (1 capsule, 3 times daily) falls within effective ranges for reducing cold incidence and duration based on existing meta-analyses.
