Echinachea

[Annie456]

I've been taking Echinachea on and off (as you should) but the one i'm currently using requires you to take 6 a day. i know there are some brands where you just take one a day. What are the benefits of taking 6 a day when you can just take 1?

Also, how many mgs of it should you take each day?

Thanks

It's mg that are the point. Holland and Barrett tend to water down everything so you pay less but have to take more! If you buy a more expensive brand, it will have more mg in and therefore you have to take less dosage.

if you buy it in tincture form it goes into your system faster..i take 2 echinacea tablets in a morning and then i have some tincture in the afternoon in a bit of water..if i think i am getting a cold or have been exposed to people sneezing and coughing then i take the tincture every 2 hours for the day..and i havnt had a cold for over 6 years..i take holland and barratts stuff..and have had no problems..
