Our Patented Ingredient
In a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled clinical, AP-Bio™ was effective in reducing the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. A total of 223 patients of both genders were randomized into two groups, which received either AP-Bio™ (200 mg/day) or placebo in a double-blind manner. In both the treatments, mean scores of all symptoms showed a decreasing trend from day one to day three.
From day three to day five, most of the symptoms in the placebo-treated group either remained unchanged or got aggravated, whereas in the AP-Bio™ treated group, all symptoms showed a decreasing trend. AP-Bio™ was 52.7 per cent or 2.1 times more effective than placebo on various symptoms of cold and flu. AP-Bio™ was well tolerated.
The ingredients in Andrographis leaves contain immuno-stimulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. What does that mean? Well, when you get sick, your first line of defence is a type of immune cell called a macrophage. In Greek, macrophage means “big eater.” These big eaters chomp up viruses and help stimulate the rest of your body’s immune system.
The active ingredient in this plant’s leaves helps increase the motility of these big eaters. Andrographis also help your spleen stimulate lymphocyte production. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cells that serve as our bodies’ soldiers on the front line to fight infection. “Stimulating production” translates to revving your body’s response up faster!
To reduce inflammatory symptoms such as fever, sore throat, coughing and aches, AP-Bio™ inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators, thus decreases inflammation, reduces severity of common cold symptoms.
