Is Echinacea safe to give my cat? More specifically, I bought a product with 300MG of vitamin C, with 200MG of Echinacea purpurea(5:1 extract from aerial parts) (which the herbal equivalent is 1000MG, and the third ingredient is Andrographis (15:1 leaf extract, 30% andrographolides)(whic the herbal equivalent for this is actually 1500MG.) The non-medicinal ingredients are magnesium stearate and gelatin. There are no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, sweeteners, dairy, soy, gluton, or wheat. Does this seem like an ok product for cats?

I read that Echinacea is antibacterial, an antibiotic, an antioxidant, an antiviral, anti-microbial and an antiseptic. Would Echinacea be good for cleaning teeth and good for gum disease as well?
