The immune system in our body is a wonderful thing, it protects us from bacteria and viruses that enter our bodies, it fights off infections and develops antibodies and remembers viruses that it fights so next time it is already prepared, it is like a highly effective army ready to fight off the 'bad guys' when they attack. But sometimes it needs a helping hand from immune system supplements when it does not get all the vitamin and minerals it needs in our every day diet.Andrographis paniculata (AP), which is sometimes referred to as Indian Echinacea, even though it is unrelated to the Echinacea plant, has been shown to strengthen immune system function, by counteracting interference with the cell cycle. Viruses must interfere with the normal cycle of the cell in order to reproduce. Laboratory studies using cell lines indicate that AP can improve immune system function by stimulating production of white blood cells, interferon release and activity in the lymph system. White blood cells find and kill bacteria. Interferon kills viruses and stops their reproduction. The lymph system is basically responsible for carrying everything around. In addition to the affects of AP...more
