Since September I seem to hjve had constant throat infections,coughs,colds, & thrush twice.I'm so fed up of feeling crap all the time.I eat healthily,work out doors,but seem to get every germ going.I'm considering taking Echinacea to try & boost my immune system.

Has anyone tried it & did it work for you?

Thanks

I swear by it, when I take it I'm fine, if I don't I succumb to everything going, its fab

Yep, i'd recommend it. Try and buy a tincture though as i think they're better than the tabs. 'A Vogel' are a good brand. I would take max dose for a month then drop down to a maintenance level. And take a break in the warmer months HTH
