Clinically Studied Benefits (with research)
• Echinacea — URTI/common cold — Large randomized trial showed a modest trend toward shorter colds; evidence syntheses report mixed but generally favorable signals for duration/severity. (NIH/PubMed — Barrett, 2010)(Cochrane 2014 on Echinacea)
• Echinacea in children — fewer RTIs/less antibiotic use — Blinded RCT in pediatric populations reduced respiratory infections and antibiotic use. (NIH/PubMed — Ogal, 2021)
• Garlic (allicin) — fewer colds — 12-week randomized trial reported reduced cold incidence and days ill vs placebo. (NIH/PubMed — Josling, 2001)
• Aged garlic extract — immune cell activity & illness severity — RCT improved NK/γδ-T cell function and reduced severity of colds/flu episodes. (NIH/PubMed — Nantz, 2012)
• Olive leaf (topical) — herpes labialis (cold sores) — Randomized trials of OLE cream/emulgel showed favorable symptom and healing profiles. (NIH/PubMed — 2022)(NIH/PMC — 2024 full text)
• Curcumin (turmeric) — inflammatory markers — Meta-analyses across RCTs show reductions in CRP/IL-6/TNF-α, relevant to ENT/respiratory comfort. (NIH/PubMed — 2019)
Additional Studies Showing Promising Benefits*
• Olive leaf/oleuropein — antibacterial & synergy — Broad antimicrobial signals and synergy with thymol (bench). (NIH/PMC — 2020)
