This simple echinacea supplement blend offers a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals to support your body as echinacea propels your system into self-defense mode. This blend makes a great addition to smoothies, yogurt, or even a cup of soup. You could also use it to fill capsules to keep in your purse, locker, workout bag or desk for those unpredictable times when coworkers, fellow students, athletes, or customers who are coming down with illness insist on soldiering on in your presence.
