Enhancing bioavailability and hepatoprotective activity of andrographolide from <i>Andrographis paniculata</i>, a well‐known medicinal food, through its herbosome

Abstract

The results proved that the andrographolide complex produced by this method has better bioavailability and hence improved hepatoprotective activity compared with andrographolide at the same dose. Andrographolide complexation is therefore helpful in solving the problem of rapid clearance and low elimination half-life associated with andrographolide from A. paniculata.
