This November we published a practical, no-nonsense guide to Andrographis — a herbal supplement people use for immune and respiratory support. The post explains where Andrographis comes from, how people typically take it, what the clinical evidence says about colds and flu, and the safety notes to keep in mind. If you want fast, useful facts before reading the full piece, this archive page lays out the essentials.
The article breaks the topic into clear sections: origins and common forms (capsules, tinctures, standardized extracts), typical uses, what trials report about symptom relief, recommended patterns from studies, and safety warnings. You’ll learn that many people try Andrographis when cold symptoms start — often within the first 48–72 hours — and that several clinical trials report shorter symptom duration when it’s used early. The post lists common side effects like mild stomach upset and headache and points out situations when you should avoid the herb, such as pregnancy or certain drug interactions.
If you want a quick decision guide: Andrographis may help with short-term respiratory symptoms when started early, but it’s not a cure-all. Look for a standardized extract from a reputable brand, follow dosing guidance on the product, and start with a lower dose to check tolerance. Stop using it and talk to your clinician if symptoms get worse, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you take blood thinners or immune-modifying drugs. The full post includes a short checklist to help you discuss Andrographis with your healthcare provider.
Why read the full article? The post gives simple examples of how people use Andrographis in real life — what worked, what didn’t, and what to watch for in the first few days. It also links to the clinical evidence and explains how to read that evidence without medical jargon. I kept the tone practical and honest, focusing on actions you can take rather than promises of a quick fix.
