Andrographis paniculata, known in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as Kalmegh or ‘King of Bitters’, is one of India’s most revered medicinal herbs with a 2,000-year history of use for immune support, fever management, and liver health. The primary active compounds — andrographolides — are diterpene lactones that have been extensively studied in modern pharmacological research, demonstrating potent immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.
Andrographolides work by stimulating the production of antibodies and activating macrophages and natural killer cells — key components of the body’s first line of defence against pathogens. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Andrographis supplementation significantly reduces the duration and severity of upper respiratory tract infections and flu-like symptoms, with several double-blind trials showing superiority over placebo for reducing symptom severity and recovery time.
Beyond acute immune support, Andrographis contributes to everyday immune resilience through its adaptogenic properties, helping the immune system maintain a state of readiness without overstimulation. It also supports healthy liver function through its hepatoprotective compounds, making it a dual-purpose supplement for immune and liver wellness.
