Echinacea
Research & Evidence
This is an unusual alkylamide that combines a diene with a conjugated diyne (two triple bonds), a structural type found in Echinacea root. It belongs to the broader family of Echinacea alkylamides studied for their sensory and proposed immune-modulating properties. Little is established about this particular compound individually.
