What Is Andrographis Extract Powder?
Andrographis has long been revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful detoxifying properties. Known as the "King of Bitters" or "Bile of the Earth" due to its intensely bitter taste, the plant is primarily valued for its active component, andrographolide. This key compound is believed to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant benefits. Andrographis extract is derived from the stems and leaves of the plant.
