What about Jamieson Cold Relief XP – how is it different than Cold FX?
Cold FX contains a proprietary extract of North American Ginseng (200 mg). Jamieson Cold Relief XP also contains 200 mg of North American Ginseng, but as an added benefit each capsule provides 100 mg of PolinaceaTM (Echinacea angustifolia). A triple standardization process ensures there is consistently the same amount of pure, active compound in each capsule, and also makes PolinaceaTM unique from all other Echinacea products that are currently available on the market. Cold Relief XP is a natural, fast-acting and non-drowsy formula.

What is Echinacea?
Echinacea is a wildflower native to North America that was traditionally used by the Native Americans to treat wounds, burns, infections, toothaches and snake and insect bites. There are many different species, but only a few are used medicinally - Jamieson Echinacea supplements are formulated using Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea. Both forms of Echinacea work by stimulating different types of cells in the immune system to help the body to fight off viral and bacterial invaders.

What makes Jamieson Echinacea supplements unique?
All Jamieson Echinacea is derived from premium quality grade, designated botanical species and all preparations are standardized meaning that the same amount of active ingredient is in every capsule. Jamieson offers Echinacea alone or in combination with other herbs/nutrients (ginseng, garlic, zinc and vitamin C) to help boost its immune-boosting effects. It is also available in capsule or liquid tincture form.

When should I start taking Echinacea (prevention or treatment)?
Start taking Echinacea at the first sign of a cold or flu. It should be taken at frequent intervals (every few hours) during acute infections. Echinacea should not be used for longer than eight weeks, followed by a one-week interval before you start taking it again (best to start and stop).

Why is Echinacea angustifolia more expensive than pupurea?
Jamieson’s Echinacea angustifolia product is made with a premium quality ingredient called PolinaceaTM, which is extracted from Echinacea angustifolia roots using an innovative patent-pending procedure. A triple standardization process ensures there is consistently the same amount of pure, active compound in each capsule, and also makes PolinaceaTM unique from all other Echinacea products that are currently available on the market. The active ingredient (echinacosides) in PolinaceaTM work by directly stimulating the viral fighting T-cells of the immune system, a process that is mediated mainly by a high molecular weight polysaccharide called IDN 5405.
