[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.

DESCRIPTION: The yellow pigment curcumin in the spice turmeric may work as good or better than anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

What about rheumatoid arthritis? That was my last video, Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis). Next, I’ll cover Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin) and then end with some caveats (Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I think the only other video I have on osteoarthritis is Rose Hips for Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-osteoarthritis-treatment).

Those unfamiliar with the China study should read it (https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54905518)! I also mention it in my video China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/).

If, as described, oxidative stress and inflammation both play a role in joint inflammation, then that may help explain the role of turmeric. See my recent videos Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection).

I’d also add nuts (Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fighting-inflammation-in-a-nut-shell/) and mushrooms (Boosting Immunity While Reducing Inflammation, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-immunity-while-reducing-inflammation/) to the list of anti-inflammatory plant foods.

Shawn prepares his daily mixture of Unicity’s Best -Selling products after dinner to help in his digestion and intestinal cleansing.By doing this daily he is able to sleep better because of better digestion and intestinal cleansing.

There are hundreds of studies that support the need for more fiber in your diet. Dietary fiber is known to reduce digestive complaints and to increase satiety without adding calories. This means that high-fiber diets are useful for people who want to lose weight. A high-fiber diet helps maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels and stimulates bacterial fermentation (the good, healthy bacteria) in the colon. All of those contribute to a healthier wellbeing.
At this point, most health-conscious people reach for a tub of the leading store-bought fiber—which is perfect, because I want you to read the ingredients label. It’ll say something like: sucrose, psyllium husk, citric acid, natural and artificial orange flavor, and yellow dye number 6
Now let’s take a look at the label on LiFiber. No surprise, it also starts with psyllium husk—study after study confirms that psyllium husk helps to maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and fights obesity.
But psyllium is at the top of a list of 28 more ingredients that include things like hibiscus flower, alfalfa whole plant, black walnut hulls, buchu leaf, burdock root, cape aloe powder, cayenne fruit, chickweed leaf, cinnamon bark, clove seeds, corn silk, dandelion root, Echinacea root, fenugreek seed, garlic bulb, ginger root, marshmallow root, papaya fruit, peppermint leaf, pumpkin seed, red raspberry leaf, rhubarb root, slippery elm bark, yucca root, guar gum powder and licorice root!
These ingredients come from all over the globe. Most have been used for centuries to support the health of the digestive and urinary systems and to cleanse the body of toxins and parasites. For example, hibiscus flower has long been used in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to support normal blood pressure levels. Black Walnut hulls were used by ancient Greeks and Romans to support intestinal health. Pumpkin seeds are used by many cultures to treat prostate and urinary problems.
The point is, these ingredients were carefully chosen not because they were leading-edge and revolutionary, but because they work and have been working in many cases for thousands of years. Comparing the effectiveness of store-bought fiber to LiFiber would be like the difference between spring cleaning your house with a broom or with the latest advanced vacuum cleaner. The proprietary blend of these 29 proven ingredients will get you cleaner and support your health.
Even though innovation is at the heart of Unicity’s product development, we also feel that sometimes you can’t beat what’s been proven to work for centuries. I hope you all will give good ol’ LiFiber a try!
