I was reccommended to take a Echinacea supplement, and the bottle says "SUPPORTS NATURAL RESISTANCE" what does that mean?

Echinacea is a tonic herb that can raise or lower your white blood cell count as needed. If you're immune system isn't strong enough, it will raise white blood cells. If it's too high (overactive immune system causes allergies), it will lower them. Echinacea also has it's own antibacterial properties to fight strep and staph infections. Echinacea is indeed a wonderful thing :)

I would take it a lot during a cold, but once a week otherwise. You'll become immune to the effects, like anything else, if you take it daily. I take it and have been for years. I've had a cold once in the past 4 years. I used to get sick all the time.

Since it's illegal for herb manufacturers to print anything on the label about it curing, they have to put things like supports resistance or supports health. The FDA makes them beat around the bush. I THINK it means the resistance of your Immune system

got info from typing in Echinacea & a bunch of web sites about it came up That supplement is supposed to inhance your immune system. I have never actually read a bottle, but keep in mind that most of the things that supplements claim to do are not FDA approved. Supports your immune system's natural resistance theu the use of herbs.and while its true that the FDA does not approve of many vitamins and supplements, keep in mind THEIR pockets are lined with the sales of pharmaceuticals!!
