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.

Vladimir
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. |
