Andrographis long term?
Dear Stephen,
The label on the Nature’s Way andrographis states, “Not for long term use”. I called Nature’s Way and they said not to take the herb for more than 4 weeks. When I asked the reason why, they said that I would become too used to it and it wouldn’t work any more. I also asked if there was any danger to long term use and they said they didn’t know as there are no available studies on andrographis. What is your take on this?

Stephen’s response:
There is no danger from long term use that I can find in the literature. Period. In China it is used long term and it will continue to work after 4 weeks. I wish they would stop saying that.
