Herbal tincture - olive leaf and echinacea zánět, chřipka, rýma, bez alkoholu a cukru - 50 ml, 100 ml

Product detailed description

Botanicals 4 Life' s herbal complex contains a combination of extracts from wild purple coneflower (echinacea) and olive leaf. Both of these herbs have been used since ancient times to support the proper functioning of the immune system. Olive tree leaves contain a high concentration of antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids and other key components, including the glycosaccharide oleuropein.

Botanicals 4 Life uses a unique triple extraction process using alcohol and cool water to maximize the absorption of the full spectrum of key nutrients. In the third stage of extraction, the alcohol is then allowed to evaporate and replaced with vegetable glycerine. Vegetable glycerin has a low GI and acts as a natural preservative. Thanks to the included dropper, the extract is very easy and precise to dose - you can drop it directly under your tongue or mix it with a small amount of water and drink.

All Botanicals 4 Life herbal extracts are laboratory tested for heavy metals, allergens, pathogens, yeasts, molds, mycotoxins and pesticides. Botanicals 4 Life products are completely natural, containing no added sugar or alcohol, as is the case with commonly available herbal extracts. Of course, you won't find any binders, artificial additives or chemicals in them either.

Echinacea

The positive effects were well known to the North American Indians, who for more than 400 years used Echinacea for its antiseptic and analgesic properties, e.g. for wound healing, infections, sore throats and snake bites.

Active ingredients of the herb

The active ingredients are contained in the whole plant - from the roots to the leaves and flower. Each part of the plant contains different active substances with different effects. Therefore, it is recommended to take a combination of multiple active ingredients to achieve the best potential results.

The active substances are considered to be mainly alkylamides, polysaccharides, glycoproteins and flavonoids. These substances increase the production and activity of white blood cells (macrophages and lymphocytes) and thus support the immune system's response to potential threats. In several studies, it has been found that Echinacea also has the ability to promote the production of antiviral substances called interferons. * 1,2,3

Olive leaf

No tree is so closely associated with the development of human civilization as the olive tree, which is a traditional symbol of peace, prosperity and efficiency. Olive leaf wreaths have historically been used to award winners of athletic competitions or war battles.

Olive leaf extract is commonly used as a supplement for colds, flu, yeast infections, gout and viral diseases such as Epstein-Barr virus. Various studies have confirmed the antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects of olive leaves.

The active constituents in olive leaves are oleuropein, flavonoids (such as hydroxytyrosol), triterpenes and various polyphenoplasts. Each of these ingredients shows positive effects. Oleuropein, for example, is a powerful antioxidant that also has significant anti-inflammatory effects. The oleuropein content of olive leaves is 10-200 times higher than that of olive oil.

Side effects

Side effects have not yet been found with Echinacea or olive leaf.

However, since Echinacea stimulates the immune system, people suffering from autoimmune diseases should consult their doctor about its use. Also, do not take Echinacea if you are allergic to plants in the star family (e.g. daisies, chrysanthemum, chicory and chamomile).
