What is Andrographis Paniculata?

Andrographis paniculata is a herb traditionally used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a bitter tasting herb full of compounds that are thought to be anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antioxidants. These compounds are called andrographolides. The herb is widely used to treat common cold and flu, however it is also used to treat some other conditions.

Health Benefits:

Respiratory health

Research shows andrographis paniculata can be beneficial for relieving symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and is widely used for promoting healthy respiration. One study concluded that Andrographis extract is statistically more effective than a placebo for reducing symptoms.

Immune boosting

Andrographis is traditionally used to strengthen and support the immune system; research suggests this is due to the andrographolide content. One study shows that the herb enhances the immune cells ability to repair tissue and remove cellular debris; andrographolides in andrographis appear to have the ability to regulate and adapt immune responses to bacterial and viral attacks.Healthy joint and bone support

Studies have shown that andrographolides in andrographis inhibits estrogen deficiency-induced bone loss in mice and therefore may benefit those who suffer with osteoarthritis. The study showed mice treated with andrographis extract had a significant increase in bone mass, trabecular thickness and number, and a decrease in trabecular separation.

Typical Uses:

We suggest taking 1 capsule daily of our Andrographis Paniculata – Organic – Premium PARACTIN® supplement before food or 2 capsules for intensive support, taken separately during the day, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
