Phytostandard® Echinacée

• Vegetarian capsule.
• For more than 20 years, PiLeJe has been developing its know-how in phytonutrition and focusing its demands on the quality of the original fresh plant. The Phytostandard® brand thus brings together high quality plant extracts resulting from this expertise.
• Each plant can contain up to 250 compounds in its cells. All of these compounds form the totality of the plant. The extraction process is a key factor in preserving all the plant compounds. 
Echinacea extracts are of real interest in phytonutrition. We have therefore selected the parts of the plant richest in compounds: the roots of Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea L.) to elaborate the food supplement Phytostandard® Echinacée capsules.
• How are the Echinacea extracts of this Phytostandard® selected?
A plant native to North America and Europe, Echinacea is a perennial plant, i.e. it lives for more than two years. It has thick stems and purple flowers and it is its roots that we use for our Phytostandard® extract. They must be two years old to ensure a high content of compounds. Our growers in the Drôme provide us with the largest quantities of Echinacea.
For a question of security of supply, we have diversified by turning to Germany.
After harvesting, the roots are frozen on site and transported to the place of manufacture of the extract in Ariège. The roots are then crushed and extracted using the Phytostandard® process, which is recognised for its respect for the integrity of the plant's compounds. The echinacea extract obtained is alcohol-free.
It is then freeze-dried, i.e. cold dehydrated to be put into a plant capsule.
The manufacturing process from the Phytostandard® extraction to the capsule filling is carried out in France, which allows product traceability from production to distribution.
• Certified Organic Agriculture, Phytostandard® Echinacée capsules guarantees that at least 95% of its agricultural ingredients are ORGANIC.
