Citrigen is a source of Echinacea angustifolia, traditionally used to relieve symptoms of upper respiratory infections and sore throats. Echinacea reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune system cells and invading pathogens, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, which contribute to symptoms of upper respiratory infections. Adults who consumed 100 mg of echinacea root extract each day demonstrated a significant decrease in levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA after consuming supplements for four weeks. Echinacea also stimulates the phagocytosis activity of immune system cells in addition to reducing the survival rate of bacteria. Research has shown that echinacea can decrease mucin secretion, thereby reducing the amount of mucus produced during infections. TRPV1 is a pain receptor found in sensory tissues that integrates responses to pain and inflammation. Desensitization of this receptor can block pain transmission; receptor agonists can therefore create analgesic effects. In vitro research has demonstrated that Echinacea angustifolia root is 10 times more effective at activating the TRPV1 receptor than capsaicin, a receptor ligand. Because echinacea can activate and desensitize this receptor, it may reduce pain associated with infections, including sore throats.
