Kid’s Echinacea Plus Features:

Echinacea

Historically, Native Americans used echinacea for its remarkable medicinal properties, including immune support. The Kiowa and Cheyenne tribes used it to treat sore throats, the Pawnee used it for headaches and the Lakotah used it as an analgesic. In the mid 19th to the early 20th century, echinacea became a popular antimicrobial herb in eclectic medicine (an American form of medicine that utilized herbal remedies). Echinacea is widely used today to support the immune system, especially during cold and flu season.

Elderberry

Elderberries are rich in protective antioxidants, including anthocyanins. They support immune system function and contain high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A and iron. As the primary constituent of many popular remedies due to their numerous health-promoting compounds, the berries and flowers have been used in traditional Austrian medicine for respiratory, gastrointestinal and viral issues issues and as a treatment for colds and flu.

Elderberries contain a special group of flavonoids called anthocyanins, which are water-soluble vacuolar pigments responsible for the red, purple and blue hues that saturate many fruits, vegetables and flowers (including the gorgeous blackened color of elderberries). These concentrated pigments are known for their free-radical fighting capabilities, and may also offer anti-inflammatory and anti-viral benefits.

Elderberries are considered to have an extremely high antioxidant “capacity” for their size; it is estimated they contain 2x more antioxidants than cranberry and over double the value of blueberry.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a well-known water soluble nutrient and antioxidant. It aids in the absorption of iron, supports immune system function and is required to repair and regenerate collagen. The body does not produce or store vitamin C, therefore it must be obtained through the diet.
