The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled a surge in demand for Echinacea as an immune-boosting herbal supplement. The growing market demand has not only led to a shortage of raw material supply, but also given rise to unethical adulteration practices in the industry. A typical adulteration method is to add exogenous polyphenols to echinacea extracts to pass relevant inspections.

Currently, most products on the market labeled as containing echinacea do contain this ingredient, yet various concealed quality issues still exist.

● Randomly mixing different varieties of Echinochloa purpurea without clearly indicating the source of the ingredients

● Illegally adulterating products with raw materials of other species

● Diluting product concentrations and replacing core active ingredients with flow agents or other auxiliary materials

● Violating regulations by adding Cistanche Extracts
