Echinacea Goldenseal Extract
Oregon's Wild Harvest
Overview
This Echinacea Goldenseal Extract aims to provide immune support and anti-inflammatory benefits. Echinacea has some evidence for reducing the incidence of upper respiratory infections, and goldenseal contains berberine, which has shown potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the proprietary blend makes it challenging to ascertain the specific dosage and effectiveness of each component, and the blend's overall efficacy lacks strong clinical validation.

Potential anti-inflammatory effects from berberine found in goldenseal.
Organic certification ensures the product is free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
The Bad
Potential allergic reactions, especially in sensitive individuals.
Possible interactions with certain medications, including immunosuppressants and blood thinners.
Gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or stomach pain, in some users.
