A.Vogel's Echinaforce® Sore Throat spray is made from the well-known herbal remedy Echinaforce® combined with Sage tincture and is a throat spray for fast relief of sore throat symptoms.  Echinaforce® Sore Throat spray is part of A.Vogel's range of herbal remedies containing Echinacea for treating the symptoms of colds and flu. Echinacea is native to North America but is now cultivated extensively in Europe. It is one of A.Vogel's most popular herbs and used traditionally to treat the symptoms of colds and flu, including sore throats. Sage is also one of A.Vogel's best-known traditional remedies. It too has a history of use for treating sore throats.

The benefit of using freshly harvested plant material to make our herbal remedies has been demonstrated in research – extracts of echinacea produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared to those prepared from equivalent amounts of dried herb.*
