Echinacea extract contains a variety of active factors, including polyphenols, caffeic acid derivatives and polysaccharides. It mainly has the following five functions and effects:

1. Enhance human immunity

With the growth of age, the number of white blood cells in the human body will continue to decrease, resulting in the body's inability to effectively resist invading bacteria. The echinacea extract can increase the number of granulocytes and white blood cells in the body, improve the chemotaxis of monocytes and neutral viruses, and produce bacteriolysis, thereby enhancing human immunity.

2. Anti-cancer and anti-cancer

The lymphocytes in the human body and the hydrocarbon receptors on the surface of macrophages have immunostimulatory effects, which can increase the phagocytic ability of macrophages, and stimulate macrophages to increase the number of tumor necrosis factor, interferon, and interleukin. It can destroy tumor cells, thus playing the role of anti-cancer and anti-cancer.

3. Improve cell viability

Echinacea extract can increase the activity of non-specific T cells, produce interferon, promote the secretion of lymphocytes, reduce T-helper cells, and reduce the ratio of T-helper cells to inhibitory factors.

4. Anti-infection

For preoperative and postoperative patients, it is easy to be invaded by bacteria, which can lead to wound infection and inflammation. The polysaccharides in echinacea extract can inhibit hyaluronidase, stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and the synthesis of glucosaminidase, produce corticosterone, promote the secretion of adrenal cortex hormones, and then play an anti-infective role.

5. Antivirus

Echinacea purpurea extract contains hyaluronidase, which has the properties of antiviral activity, it can inhibit influenza, herpes and blister viruses, and can block viral receptors on the cell surface.
