Although they have very similar effects, there is a difference between echinacea (more bactericidal) and narrow-leaf echinacea (more of a tonic for the immune system). A combination of both gives optimal results. Echinacea contains alkamides, caffeic acid esters (especial y echinacoside and cynarin), polysaccharides and essential oils. Preventive doses can be taken for several weeks, even months. It is preferable to take smal , frequent doses during the acute phase of an il ness.
