New Product : Andrographis Paniculata |
|
| |
| |
Andrographis
paniculata (N.O. Acanthaceae) is an annual shrub that
grows wild in the plains of Asia and in cultivated
gardens of North India. This plant has been used as
a household remedy in Asia for many centuries. In
recent years, clinical trials have validated the use
of Andrographis as a successful treatment for the
common cold.
The pharmacological
effects of the plant are attributed to the presence
of the primary active principles, androgarpholide
(structure depected below), and its derivatives deoxyandrographolide,
neoandrographolide and 14-deoxy-11,12 didehydroandrographolide.
Andrographis paniculata has been used
for more than 12 years in Nordic countries for reducing
symptoms and the duration of the common cold.
 |
A double blind placebo controlled study performed
in Sweden involved the treatment of 50 patients
with a herbal preparation containing 85 mg
of Andrographis paniculata extract three times
daily for five days. As compared to the placebo
treated group, patients treated with the herbal
preparation had reduced cold symptoms. These
patients also reported a greater relief from
cold symptoms and took less sick leave from
work.
|
| The
Andrographis paniculata extract recently introduced
to Sabinsa Corporation's extensive product line
is standardized to contain a minimum of 10%
andrographolides. Samples and specification
sheets for this product will be available in
early December.

Vldimir Badmaev, MD, Ph.D. Vice President, Medical and Scientific
Affairs

When Dr. Badmaev teamed up with Sabinsa,
a natural alliance occurred, the results of which were
two-fold. Firstly, Dr. Badmaev's wealth of knowledge
led to the enhancement of the scientific and technical
backup which Sabinsa could provide for its products
and customers. Secondly, it resulted in the continuation
of the long standing Badmaev family traditions.
Dr. Badmaev is actively
involved in organizing clinical investigations to support
Sabinsa's products. He reaches out to both the academic
and business Community in the course of developing an
elaborate database documenting the safety and health
benefits of Sabinsa's products.
The Joint efforts of Sabinsa
and Dr. Badmaev, in coordination with a well established
international marketing company, have resulted in the
successful launching of the Badmacv line of products
back into Dr. Badmaev's native Russia. |
