In this bioavailability trial should be shown that the one of the main active constituent in alcoholic echinacea extracts, the alkylamide dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide (short: tetraen) is bioavailable in children of different age groups after intake of 5 Echinaforce junior tablets.

Six capillary blood draws are taken at the following time points: Start (0), after 15, 30, 60, 90, 270 minutes and thereafter the bioavailability is measured and calculated.
