A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea Cold & Flu 120 Tablets
A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea Cold & Flu 120 Tablets
Traditional Herbal Medicine for the Relief of Common Cold and Flu-Like Symptoms
A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea Tablets are a traditional herbal medicinal product containing extracts of fresh Echinacea purpurea herb and root. They are used for the relief of common cold and flu-like symptoms based exclusively on long-standing traditional use. The original 120-tablet formulation is a standard tablet designed to be swallowed, not the separate Echinaforce Chewable product.
Overview
A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea 120 Tablets contain extracts prepared from freshly harvested Echinacea purpurea herb and root.
A.Vogel grows its Echinacea organically in Switzerland and states that the plants are harvested fresh and used within 24 hours. The 120-tablet format is intended for people who prefer a small, easy-to-swallow tablet rather than Echinaforce liquid drops.
In Ireland, Echinaforce Cold & Flu Tablets are registered as a traditional herbal medicinal product for oral use. This is a separate formulation from Echinaforce Cold & Flu Chewable Tablets.
