A powerful herb traditionally used in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine for supporting upper respiratory, liver, and immune system health. It is a very potent global health enhancer and several studies show that it inhibits aberrant cell growth and promotes apoptosis of cells with damaged DNA. It is also one of the most effective herb in down-regulating excessive inflammation responses. It naturally activates PPAR gamma, thereby inhibiting NF-kappa-beta, deactivating T-cell proliferation and helping reduce pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Andrographis seem to efficiently block T-cell activation in cases of detrimental T-cell responses.

Cognitive benefits: Andrographis P. supports brain integrity, improves learning and memory and seems particularily effective in keeping oxidative stress and neuro-inflammation at normal levels. Clinical studies indicate that Andrographis P. has benefits against the neurodegenerative process. It seems to alleviate the excess neuronal cell loss and it is able to facilitate neurogenesis.
