Is it true that Echinacea reduces anxiety symptoms in adults?

No. A 2026 EFSA health-claim opinion on Anxiofit-1, an Echinacea angustifolia root extract, concluded the scientific evidence is insufficient to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between its consumption and reduction of subthreshold and mild anxiety. The remaining retrieved items concern unrelated topics such as respiratory infections, plant botany, or anxiety in other contexts.
