Echinacea for immunity: what experts say about the popular supplement during cold season

      Modern research is examining the potential properties of this plant. As dietitian Megan K. Ramayka explained, echinacea is rich in antioxidants and contains a complex of compounds that help reduce inflammation in the body. A high score on the ORAC scale confirms its ability to fight oxidative stress.

      "When inflammation is severe, the immune system malfunctions, which increases vulnerability to viruses," Ramayka is quoted as saying by transsibinfo.com.

      Dr. Kiran Mullur confirms that patients often ask about supplements to boost immunity. "In the case of echinacea, some studies do show positive results for immune support, but definitive causal links have not yet been established," the specialist comments.

      Experts emphasize that echinacea supplements are not suitable for everyone. They should be avoided by people with weakened immune systems, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and children with allergies unless under a doctor's supervision.

      Before starting any supplements, consultation with a medical professional is necessary. In addition, doctors remind that effective protection against the flu includes vaccination, adequate sleep and stress management.
