Double down on viral infections, colds & flu
diminishing impact and duration with targeted formulas containing ECHINACEA 2+, crafted with an unrivalled, proven combination of two species of echinacea.
Fight back with Echinacea 2+, the most powerful echinacea available. TWO proven species double down on viral infections, colds + flu – to relieve symptoms PLUS treat the root cause.
Most echinacea products contain just one strain, purpurea, but research has shown that when 2 species – Echinacea angustifolia and purpurea – are combined they provide greater benefits. Specifically, the alkylamides, the compounds that impact the immune system, from purpurea are most able to be absorbed and used by the body when in the presence of angustifolia. And the two species reinforce the therapeutic action of one another!
This is why many St. Francis’ Cold & Flu products contain both strains – we refer to them collectively as Echinacea 2+, for the most powerful echinacea available. What’s more, they are Canadian-grown and organic!



The combination of the two strains of Echinacea alone are recommended for kids (Echinacea Kids), as well as women who are pregnant and breastfeeding (EchinAce). For the rest of us, there are formulas that provide even broader spectrum support by taking this echinacea to the next level – like Echinaseal your #1 choice at the first signs of symptoms.
