What is andrographolide powder?
Andrographolide powder is a natural substance extracted from the plant Andrographis paniculata. Its core ingredient is andrographolide (a diterpenoid compound). It appears as a white powder with an extremely bitter taste. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol.
Source: Andrographis paniculata is a herb widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions (such as southern China). Its leaves contain a large number of bitter compounds, of which andrographolide is the main component.
Production Process: It is produced through ethanol extraction, activated carbon decolorization, and concentrated crystallization, achieving a purity of over 98%.

What is andrographolide good for?
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
Referred to as a "natural antibiotic," it can inhibit a variety of bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and viruses (such as influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus).
It has an adjunctive therapeutic effect in infectious diseases such as pneumonia and dysentery.
Antipyretic and Analgesic
Can reduce fever (such as that caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae or hemolytic Streptococcus).
Relieves redness, swelling, and pain caused by inflammation.
Immune Boosting
Enhances the ability of white blood cells to phagocytize bacteria, enhancing the body's resistance to viruses.Andrographolide can increase serum lysozyme levels, helping to fight infection.
Hepatoprotective
Protecting liver cells and combating liver damage caused by drugs and toxins (such as carbon tetrachloride).Promotes bile secretion and aids fat digestion.
Other Potential Effects
Anti-tumor: Experiments have shown inhibitory effects on certain tumor cells (such as breast cancer).
Anti-fertility: Animal studies have shown potential for pregnancy termination, but human use is not yet clear.
