Anyone a Pharmacist? Echinaceae In Ovulex Bad? Posted: 03-08-06 10:05am
I saw a post on another forum where a
pharmacist said this....
"... One of the ingredients in ovulex is
echinaceae purpurea. You have prolly all
heard of echinaceae being used as a
supplement for colds. How it works in
colds is that it stimulates your immune
system. This is the last thing we want to
happen when we are ttc. Our bodies
naturally decrease the activity of our
immune system from ovulation to our period
so that our bodies don't reject the
fertilized egg when it implants in our
uterus. Taking echinaceae could make our
immune systems work so well that they stop
our babies from implanting in the uterus.
Trust me.... I wouldn't go anywhere near
this stuff, and I know what i'm talking
about."
is there any validity to her statement?
Please respond!
