Even though there is a long history of the medicinal uses of Ichinasia, there is not a large pile of high quality studies supporting these claims. Echinacea remains a popular complement, even without decisive evidence, partly due to its long use.
“All studies on Echinacea have mixed results,” tells Julie Stephansky, RDNSpokesperson of Nutrition and Dietemology Academy at Baltimore. She explains that supplements have not been standardized, so the volume of the active ingredient in each dose may differ from one brand to another.
Can treat and stop cold
“Studies have shown that echinacea can reduce the risk of cold and reduce how long the cold lasts,” Stefanski says. But not everyone will see the same result. “Using Ichinasia to reduce the symptoms of cold may vary depending on the power of the product used and the individual reactions of the people’s immune systems,” she notes.
Respiratory tract infections can
“While this study supports that echinacea can help reduce the duration of respiratory tract infection, the amount of echinacea used was much higher than that of over-the-counter products was much higher and needs further research to determine an ideal amount of echinacea extracts,” Staffanski noted.
Covid-19 can limit infections
“While the amount of research on Ichinasia and Covid -19 has increased, the virus of the coronic mutation that has made it difficult to produce continuous research results,” says Stephanski.
Regarding research, suggesting that itchinasia can help with covid-19 infections, Stefanski says that “even when these results are promising, they are very limited to the number of studied people and the long-term use of the supplement is still unknown.” More research is required to determine the potential benefits of echinacea with various covid-19 mutations.
