Nature's Way's popular Echinacea purpurea is organically grown by Trout Lake Farm, Washington. Echinacea purpurea supports the immune system. It grows wild and was used by the plains Indians more than any other herb. Echinacea is one of the most researched herbs, as its benefits have been shown in many European research clinics. An estimated 350 scientific studies have investigated echinacea's pharmacology and clinical uses with modern research showing that echinacea has many immune-stimulating effects. According to studies out of Europe, echinacea increases the number and activity of circulating immune-system cells as well as enhancing the body's production of immuno-active compounds such as interferon.
