Antiviral
The polysaccharide structure in Echinacea extract can "preferentially occupy" the receptor site for binding with the virus, making it impossible for the virus to bind or infect healthy cells, and has an inhibitory effect on influenza virus, herpes simplex virus, coronavirus and other membrane viruses.
Antibacterial
The components such as alkaneamides it contains can destroy the fungal cell wall, inhibit the growth of fungi such as Candida albicans, and have antibacterial activity against bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, and Propionibacterium acnes.
