Apollo’s Hegemony Echinacea is a dietary supplement providing Echinacea root, a plant with unique health-promoting properties. This preparation will contribute to the improvement of the functioning of the immune system, providing increased protection against infections.

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is a plant native to North America. The plant known in Poland as Purple coneflower is cultivated as an ornamental plant but has also been used as a herbal raw material. The presented supplement contains its root, which, similarly to its leaves, is a source of many substances that support the immune system and protect against infections.

Increased activity of the immune system
Echinacea actively supports the immune system. It contributes e.g. to the increased proliferation and activity of immune cells. Their increased activity results in the intensified secretion of bactericidal and viricidal compounds and stimulation of phagocytosis by the scavenger cells, which promotes faster removal of pathogens from the body.

Lower risk of infection and inflammation
Purple coneflower helps to reduce the risk of infection by the above-mentioned stimulation of the immune system, but also due to the non-specific bacteriostatic and inhibitory effect on fungi and viral multiplication. It also reduces the severity of inflammation by reducing the secretion of inflammation mediators, i.e. leukotrienes or prostaglandins.

Echinacea has thus proven antiviral activity against several flu strains, as well as the ability to alleviate the symptoms of colds and other respiratory infections.

Additional health-promoting properties
Some sources suggest a positive effect of Echinacea on cancer therapy. Moreover, it may have a beneficial effect on skin health and regeneration (faster wound healing), as well as fighting pimples.

The positive effect on the condition of skin is also caused by the antioxidant effect of this supplement. The neutralization of free radicals will contribute to the slowing down of the body’s aging and thus, e.g. to delaying wrinkle emergence.

To sum up, Apollo’s Hegemony Echinacea is a supplement that actively increases the body's immunity, whereas thanks to the presence of numerous natural substances it exerts anti-inflammatory effect, thus alleviating the severity and duration of the infection.
