What to look for
  • ✓If used at all: standardised Echinacea purpurea aerial-part hydroethanolic extract (Echinaforce style), species and plant part stated on the label. Species and preparation vary wildly between products and are a major reason trial results do not replicate.
  • ✓Where trialled for prevention, standardised E. purpurea extract dosed daily over months. Umbral does not recommend a dose: the benefit does not justify the allergy risk for most users.
  • ✓Third-party tested (USP, NSF, Informed Sport)
What to avoid
  • ✕Proprietary blends that hide the dose per ingredient
  • ✕Unstandardised extracts with no active-compound percentage
