Andrographis Peniculata is an Asian medicinal herb with a long
history of use in both TCM (traditional chinese medicine) and
ayurvedic (Indian) medical traditions. Read the first few
paragraphs of our introduction
page on Andrographis -- or our in-depth
review. What is the best dosage to take of your
Andrographis capsules? And how long
does it last?
Generally, two capsules per day.
Since we now carry just the Andrographis Plus formula, there are 90
capsules to a bottle -- so each bottle is about a 90 day supply.
Do I really need Andrographis if I'm already taking Cansema?
That depends. An herb like andrographis has
a variety of benefits and unique properties that lend its use to unique
formula blends. If you want to take it because of its anti-cancer
properties (which is one of the applications in formularies in the
Far East), you would be better to take
Cansema Tonic III along with
one of the CanSupport products. In these
formulations andrographis is used in concert with similar acting
herbal extracts. But if you're using Andrographis in another
application, such as respiratory system support (a common usage in
the Far East), it would be better to purchase it as a single item.
Again, it depends on your use. In the
in-depth review page for Andrographis, we discuss a number of
research projects that will give you ideas on the product can be
best used to suit your particular need.
Are there any contraindications? Is it toxic?
No. In fact, besides a lack of
contraindications with other medications, it should be noted that
andrographis has a remarkably low toxicity -- something we cannot
say about all the herbs with which we work.
What studies have been done on the effectiveness of Andrographis? Quite a number, as it turns out. We discuss this issue exhaustively,
as well as provide supportive footnotes, through our
in-depth review page on Andrographis.
