Andrographis

Andrographis

Andrographis paniculata is a traditional medicinal plant that has been widely studied for immune and inflammatory support.

Its active compound, andrographolide, has been researched for its effects on inflammatory pathways like NF-κB, which are involved in immune regulation and inflammation.

What research suggests it may support:

• Immune system regulation (helps balance immune activity)

• Healthy inflammatory response

• Antimicrobial activity in lab studies (bacteria, viruses, and some parasites in vitro)

• Support during respiratory infections in clinical research

• Antioxidant activity
  

Overall understanding

Andrographis is studied more as an immune modulator rather than a simple immune stimulant. This means it is often researched for its ability to help the immune system respond in a more balanced way rather than simply “boosting” activity.
