[What is Andrographis?]

Andrographis paniculata is a bitter tasting annual plant, referred to as the “King of Bitters.” It has white-purple flowers and it is native to Asia and India where it has been valued for centuries for its numerous medicinal benefits. Over the past decade, andrographis has become popular in America where it is often used alone and in combination with other herbs for a variety of health purposes.

[How does it work?]

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the active ingredient in andrographis is andrographolides. Due to the andrographolides, andrographis has potent anti-inflammatory and antimalarial properties. It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help to fight off and prevent infections from harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, andrographis is a powerful antioxidant and it can help to prevent free radical induced damage to your cells and DNA

[Function]

Cold and Flu

Scientists have discovered that andrographis helps to boost the immune system by stimulating the body’s production of antibodies and macrophages, which are large white blood cells that scavenge harmful microorganisms. It is taken for both the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and it is often referred to as Indian echinacea. It might help lessen the severity of cold symptoms such as sleeplessness, fever, nasal drainage and sore throat.

Cancer, Viral Infections and Heart Health

Andrographis may also help to prevent and treat cancer, and preliminary studies done in test tubes found that extracts of andrographis help to treat stomach, skin, prostate and breast cancer. Due to the herb’s antiviral properties, andrographis is used to treat herpes and it is also currently being studied as a treatment for Aids and HIV as well. Andrographis also promotes heart health and can help to prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to dissolve already formed blood clots. In addition, the herb relaxes smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and thereby helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Additional Benefits

Andrographis is used to promote gallbladder and digestive health. It also helps to support and strengthen the liver and it is used in combination with other herbs in several Ayurvedic formulations to treat liver disorders. Finally, andrographis extracts taken orally have been found to help neutralize the poisonous effects of snake venom.

Dosage and Precautions

The therapeutic dose of andrographis is 400 mg, twice daily, for up to 10 days. Although andrographis is considered safe in humans, the NYU Langone Medical Center warns that animal studies suggest that it may impair fertility. Andrographis may cause unwanted side effects such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, altered taste and pain in the lymph nodes. It may also interact with certain medications and as with any supplement you should consult your health care practitioner before taking the herb.

With years of experience under my belt, I can safely say that what I knew when I first started is not even close to what I know now. Many people come to the gym to experience new things, to get bigger, to get stronger, but sadly there isn’t always the guidance that they need to become who they want to be. This is often the case when people go in search of personal trainers, who sadly often don’t know any more than the client. If you’re looking to build muscle, burn fat, and get stronger in the gym, pay attention to these bodybuilding tips on what supplements you should take and what supplements you should avoid.

Most supplements don’t work. Simply put, they are often sold based off of very limited scientific data which are usually supported and sponsored by the supplement companies themselves. Combined with the millions of dollars in marketing, it is very easy for the average consumer to be convinced that the supplements they just spent $400 on will provide them with results.

Protein powder is one of the exceptions. Protein is a vital component of our diet, and although getting your protein intake from shakes is not optimal, it is better than not getting it at all. If you consume protein powder, aim for two scoops a day at most, with the rest of your protein coming from whole meal sources.

Creatine is another exception, as it is one of the few tried and true supplements that show positive results on weight training. Daily intake of 5 grams of creatine monohydrate shows an increase in muscular endurance and strength during weight training. This is often a result of consistent creatine usage, as single doses do not work immediately. Do not waste your money on any other form of creatine than creatine monohydrate.

Natural testosterone boosters do not boost your test above supraphysiological levels, which means you are very unlikely to see any difference in terms of muscle gain. The only effective way of boosting your anabolic capacity is through steroids, which elevate your testosterone levels far past anything that is regularly human, which result in tremendous muscle gain.

Fat burners do not work nearly as much as one would hope. Their main constituent is usually caffeine, and sometimes yohimbine or synephrine. Although these substances may aid in burning some fat, your diet and exercise routine is responsible for 95%, and a fat burner should not be looked at for a short cut. Since the more effective fat burners have been banned, all that is left is ineffective ingredients.

Weight gainers are nothing more than a combination of protein powder, a carbohydrate (dextrose/maltodextrin/WMS) and sometimes a MCT for fats. With this knowledge, you can make your own weight gainer for a fraction of the cost.

Pre workouts generally consist of caffeine mixed with a number of ineffective ingredients like arginine. Caffeine can be purchased for dirt cheap, and will often produce similar results. Some pre workouts contain supplements that are meant to induce a pump, which is where arginine is usually added. Unfortunately, arginine has been proven time and time again to have very poor bioavailability which results in it NOT producing any measuable effects.

You should remember that supplements are a billion dollar industry, and they spend a lot of time and money marketing these things to you in hopes that you will buy it because they’ve made some extravagant claims. If you buy an over the counter supplement and expect to gain 12 pounds of lean muscle in a month, you are in for a surprise.

In this video we cover the uses of polysaccharides as energy stores and structural units. On the way we’ll look the use of glucose in respiration, and then how it can be stored in the form of starch and glycogen, revisiting glycosidic bonding and introducing amylose and amylopectin. Then we will cover the bonding in cellulose making microfibrils, then macrofibrils and pectins, all the while linking structure to function. As ever there’s an exam style question to solidify everything learnt.
