Chewable Vitamin C and Echinacea is not recommended for diabetics as it contains sugar. We suggest replacement with Healtheries Odourless Garlic, Vitamin C and Zinc with Echinacea and Olive Leaf.
-
Those who are allergic to flowers of the daisy family should not take echinacea.
-
Echinacea can be taken for up to eight weeks continually, this should be followed by a "rest" period (no Echinacea use) for at least one week or more. Otherwise, Echinacea can tend to over-stimulate the immune system, which is undesirable during periods of low-infection risk, eg. summer.
-
Those on medications should check with their health professional before taking.

Diarrhoea, skin rash, and frequency of urination may occur with excessive doses of vitamin C. Reduction of dose will stop these effects.
