Echinacea Goldenseal Orange
Oregon's Wild Harvest
Overview
This liquid supplement combines Echinacea and Goldenseal, both herbs traditionally used for immune support. Echinacea may help in preventing upper respiratory infections, while Goldenseal contains berberine known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, research on the combined effect is limited, and berberine absorption from Goldenseal is poor, affecting its potential effectiveness.
The Good
May Provide Immune Support: Echinacea is known for its potential preventative effect on upper respiratory infections.
Contains Antimicrobial Properties: Goldenseal contains berberine, which has demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Easy to Administer Liquid Form: Liquid format allows for easy dosage adjustments and convenient consumption.
The Bad
Limited Evidence for Combined Use: Clinical trials primarily focus on individual ingredients, lacking comprehensive data on the combined effects of echinacea and goldenseal.
Potential Drug Interactions: Goldenseal may interact with certain medications, affecting their efficacy and safety.
Not for Long-Term Use: Formulation is not recommended for extended periods without medical supervision due to limited long-term safety data.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking immune support, those interested in traditional herbal remedies
Skip If: You are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or are on immunosuppressant drugs. Avoid long-term use of Goldenseal.
