Andrographis Plus® by Metagenics – Herbal Immune Support
Andrographis Plus® combines concentrated andrographis leaf, amla fruit, and a seven-herb preparation in a once-daily tablet. This herbal immune support formula brings together Ayurvedic and Asian botanical traditions for people seeking practitioner-guided support for normal immune function. The 30-tablet bottle supplies 30 one-tablet servings. Rather than combining a long list of vitamins and minerals, it focuses on three complementary botanical components, each with a clearly stated extract amount.
Key Andrographis Plus Benefits
- Supports immune health with a botanical combination designed to complement a balanced daily wellness routine.
- Offers seasonal wellness support through concentrated herbs, without requiring several separate botanical products.
- Includes a traditional Asian herbal preparation used for traditional lung health support, alongside the formula’s immune-focused ingredients.
How Andrographis Plus Works
The formula pairs a standardized andrographis extract with tannin-containing amla and a proprietary herbal blend. Standardization identifies the amount of selected plant constituents: this andrographis extract supplies 5% andrographolides, or 10 mg per tablet. That detail helps distinguish the extract from plain leaf powder. The amla and blended herbs are 5:1 extracts, a concentration designation that should not be mistaken for an instruction to increase the serving. These ingredients are combined for immune support, while the seven-herb preparation reflects traditional use for lung health.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Andrographis paniculata: Provides botanical constituents studied for effects on immune-cell signaling. Preliminary human findings come from a small, uncontrolled study of a different, more concentrated extract; they do not establish the same results for this finished formula.
- Amla fruit extract: Supplies tannin-containing fruit extract as the Ayurvedic botanical partner to andrographis. It is not presented as a specified dose of vitamin C.
- Proprietary herbal extract blend: Combines glehnia, apricot, white mulberry, gardenia, soybean, Zhejiang fritillary, and pear. The total blend amount is disclosed, rather than separate quantities for each herb.
These vegetarian tablets are also described as non-GMO and gluten free. They contain soy, so those formulation characteristics do not make them suitable for someone avoiding soy.

- Adults discussing a botanical immune formula with their healthcare practitioner.
- People who prefer a tablet combining standardized leaf extract, fruit extract, and traditional herbs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Andrographis Plus
What are the main benefits of Andrographis Plus?
Andrographis Plus is designed to support immune health with andrographis leaf extract, amla fruit extract, and a traditional seven-herb preparation. The blend also draws on traditional use for lung health. Its practical benefit is bringing these botanicals together in one tablet rather than several individual products. It is a targeted herbal supplement, not a replacement for balanced meals or a comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplement. Your practitioner can help determine whether that botanical focus fits your goals.
Who should consider Andrographis Plus?
Adults interested in practitioner-guided botanical immune support may wish to discuss this formula with their healthcare professional. The label directs one tablet daily unless your practitioner recommends otherwise, with 30 servings per bottle. The product is vegetarian, non-GMO, and gluten free, but it contains soy. It must not be used during pregnancy or nursing. Review your medications and health history before starting, especially if you take heart medications or have a chronic health condition.
Are there side effects or precautions with Andrographis Plus?
Individual tolerance to a multi-herb formula can vary, and the label does not provide a frequency estimate for side effects. Soy is present, making the ingredient list particularly important for people with soy allergies. Do not use the product if pregnant or nursing. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use and tell them about heart medications or any chronic health condition. If you notice an unexpected reaction, stop taking the supplement and contact your healthcare professional rather than increasing or adjusting the dose yourself.
How does Andrographis Plus fit into an overall wellness routine?
Think of this product as a focused botanical addition to a broader wellness plan, not the foundation of that plan. Balanced nutrition, adequate rest, and ongoing practitioner guidance remain important. Use the label directions rather than copying doses from studies of other extracts: research preparations can differ substantially in concentration. Bring your complete supplement list to your consultation so your practitioner can review overlapping herbs and decide whether this combination is appropriate for your routine.
