Planetary Herbals Andrographis Respiratory* 895 mg - 120 Tablets

This stuff is AMAZING!!!! My husband I always the first to get sick in our family! When he started takin this, we went thru a round of illness and we kept waiting for him to get it and he never did!! Then right on the tail end he forgot to take this for a few days and started feeling lousy. Within hrs of takin it again he felt normal and totally avoided the illness. This stuff does wonders for the immune system!!!

UPDATE: It appears to help after a few days when I take it as per the directions, which is two tabs twice daily! OLD review: I generally don’t write this bad reviews. If I don’t like something I just don’t write a review (mostly). However, in cases like this where something does not work at all, then I’m not left with any choice but to warn the other buyers about the over promises this product makes but does not deliver. Don’t waste your money! It’s a worthless product, it did not help me at all!!! So, disappointed!!

This formula works so well for cold and cough. The ingredients also great for the overall immune system. I always make sure to continue taking it for a week or two after recovery, so that it strengthens my system.

I had a bad allergic reaction within hours after taking one pill. My hands and fingers became very itchy and inflamed and swollen.

I tried this while I was combatting the flu. After two days of supplementation, I developed the dreaded loss of appetite symptoms from the Andrographis along with some bad migraine headache. However, the respiratory symptoms subsided relatively quickly. I did see a number of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine sources caution against using andrographis in the case of lack of vital energy and deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach. The most obvious symptom is gastrointestinal discomfort and loss of appetite. Ginger helped me with that, but not sure the side effects are worth it. Some of the clinical trials have also reported a drop in sexual vitality from this herb and drop in blood pressure. Andrographis is a powerful herb that I would not recommend using unless under the supervision of an acupuncturist. An acupuncturist can give you additional chinese patents that would balance out the effects of this herb.

We use these to prevent colds in the winter. It's a great, well priced product to use for prevention. These are tablets, not capsules, and andrographis tastes quite horrible, so be aware of this before you order.

I have been able to stay well despite taking care of two sick daughters coughing, sneezing, congested in my house! All the while taking other medicine that suppresses my immune system. I believe this stuff works. Love it.

I have used this if i feel like I'm getting sick shortens sickness, UTI's, if i feel a cold sore coming stops if i take it early enough or shortens length on my lips.
