[What is Andrographis?]

Andrographis paniculata is a bitter tasting annual plant, referred to as the “King of Bitters.” It has white-purple flowers and it is native to Asia and India where it has been valued for centuries for its numerous medicinal benefits. Over the past decade, andrographis has become popular in America where it is often used alone and in combination with other herbs for a variety of health purposes.

[How does it work?]

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the active ingredient in andrographis is andrographolides. Due to the andrographolides, andrographis has potent anti-inflammatory and antimalarial properties. It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help to fight off and prevent infections from harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, andrographis is a powerful antioxidant and it can help to prevent free radical induced damage to your cells and DNA

[Function]

Cold and Flu

Scientists have discovered that andrographis helps to boost the immune system by stimulating the body’s production of antibodies and macrophages, which are large white blood cells that scavenge harmful microorganisms. It is taken for both the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and it is often referred to as Indian echinacea. It might help lessen the severity of cold symptoms such as sleeplessness, fever, nasal drainage and sore throat.

Cancer, Viral Infections and Heart Health

Andrographis may also help to prevent and treat cancer, and preliminary studies done in test tubes found that extracts of andrographis help to treat stomach, skin, prostate and breast cancer. Due to the herb’s antiviral properties, andrographis is used to treat herpes and it is also currently being studied as a treatment for Aids and HIV as well. Andrographis also promotes heart health and can help to prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to dissolve already formed blood clots. In addition, the herb relaxes smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and thereby helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Additional Benefits

Andrographis is used to promote gallbladder and digestive health. It also helps to support and strengthen the liver and it is used in combination with other herbs in several Ayurvedic formulations to treat liver disorders. Finally, andrographis extracts taken orally have been found to help neutralize the poisonous effects of snake venom.

Dosage and Precautions

The therapeutic dose of andrographis is 400 mg, twice daily, for up to 10 days. Although andrographis is considered safe in humans, the NYU Langone Medical Center warns that animal studies suggest that it may impair fertility. Andrographis may cause unwanted side effects such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, altered taste and pain in the lymph nodes. It may also interact with certain medications and as with any supplement you should consult your health care practitioner before taking the herb.

BENEFITS OF MUSCADINE GRAPE SEED – LiveStrong.com

1) Anti-Cancer 2) Cardiovascular 3) Antioxcidant 4)Preservative

1) Anti-Cancer
Four varieties of muscadine grapes showed significant anti-cancer properties in a study conducted by the Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University, South Carolina. In the test-tube study, scientists tested grape pomace, the solids left over after juice is extracted for wine production against a known carcinogenic substance.

Antioxidant activity and inhibition of tissue degrading enzymes were evaluated and found to be high in all four samples. However, two samples showed poor ability to protect against cellular mutations when exposed to another mutation-causing molecule.

Researchers concluded there was a good potential for the use of muscadine grape extract at preventing cancer.

2) Cardiovascular
Researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston Salem, North Carolina, found that polyphenol antioxidants in muscadine grape seeds had a relaxing and dilating effect on arteries.

In the study, participants with coronary artery disease took 1,300 mg per day of muscadine grape seed extract for four weeks. There was no evidence of improved blood flow, reduced inflammation or increased antioxidant activity. However, diameter of certain arteries increased, implying potential blood pressure-lowering effects.

Researchers called for further research to determine whether these results indicate important health benefits of muscadine grape seeds. The study was published in the October 2010 issue of the “Journal of the American College of Nutrition.”

3) Antioxidant
In a study published in the April 2010 issue of the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,” muscadine grape seeds showed the highest antioxidant levels in the grape, followed by the skin and pulp.

The seeds contained 87 percent phenolic antioxidant compounds, skins contained 11.3 percent and pulp contained 1.6 percent. The researchers identified a total of 88 different antioxidant compounds in muscadine grapes, 43 of which occurred in the seeds. Seventeen of the compounds were unique to muscadine grapes.

The study was conducted by the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Florida, Gainesville.

4) Preservative
Muscadine grape seed extract may offer antibacterial and food preservative benefits, according to researchers at the Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion at Mississippi State University.

In the study, two varieties of muscadines, one purple and one bronze-colored, were tested against three strains of E. coli bacteria, which is associated with food-borne intestinal illnesses.

The purple variety showed higher acidity and higher antioxidant levels than the bronze variety, though heating the seed extracts from the bronze grapes increased activity of one antioxidant compound by 83 percent.

Researchers concluded good potential for the use of muscadine grape seed extract as a preservative for juices and other beverages. The study was published in the July 2008 issue of the “Journal of Food Protection.”
