The herbal medicine containing extracts of an ancient plant long used in Asia to ward off virus infection by bolstering immunity is seeing surging demands and the attention of health authorities in the region. A plant widely used in Asia, and clinically studied, for upper respiratory tract infection is getting close attention in the medical community for warding off infection of coronavirus (Covid-19). The herbaceous plant Andrographis paniculata, native to India, and is widely cultivated in southeast Asia and China. Formulations containing the bitter leaves of the plant are listed in traditional Indian and Chinese Pharmacopeias for treatment of bacterial infection and to boost the body’s immune system. In Thailand, formulations of the herb, which is popularly known as Fa-Thalai-Chon, are an approved medicine for cold, cough and flu, and is listed on its National List of Essential Drugs and is reimbursed by the government. The symptoms of coronavirus are like that of the flu, also called influenza, a viral infection that attacks the respiratory system: the nose, throat, and lungs. For most people, their immune system gets rid of the influenza. But the viral infection can be deadly for those who can develop complications, such young children and adults over 65 years of age, pregnant women and people with chronic diseases and weak immune systems. Could Fa-Thalai-Chon prevent the infection? Andrographis paniculata contains andrographolides and other compounds, which have been found to stimulate the general immune system and inhibit inflammation and microbial activities in the body. The active compounds of the plant, most concentrated in the leaves, have shown to prevent viruses from invading cells in the body. Some research show that they also act as an antiretroviral agent, which means they blunt the process of the viruses replicating themselves. Although long in use, no one has yet done
The Public Health England (PHE) has officially recommended a daily intake of 10 micrograms of vitamin D to maintain healthy bones, teeth and muscles. It advised the government, on July 21, 2016, to make “Vitamin D” part of the health care in the country, based on the evidence of benefit and health. Vitamin D is made in the skin when it’s exposed to sunlight. The body can also get the nutrient from certain food (oily fish, red meat, liver, egg yolks) or food fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, both of which are needed for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. While majority of the population in England can get Vitamin D outdoors in the spring and summer, the lack of exposure to the sun in the fall and winter required relying on a dietary supplement, the agency said. “During autumn and winter, everyone will need to rely on dietary sources of vitamin D. Since it is difficult for people to meet the 10 microgram recommendation from consuming foods naturally containing or fortified with vitamin D, people should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D in autumn and winter.” The health agency said people whose skin has little or no exposure to the sun risk vitamin D deficiency and need to take a supplement throughout the year. “Ethnic minority groups with dark skin, from African, Afro-Caribbean and South Asian backgrounds, may not get enough vitamin D from sunlight in the summer and therefore should consider taking a supplement all year round,” it said. The agency also recommended that children aged 1 to 4 years should take 10 microgram vitamin D supplement daily. It advised that babies should be exclusively breastfed until around 6 months of age, and
The U.S. FDA is moving closer to adopting regulations that will ensure the safety of ingredients that go into all those capsules and tablets consumers ingest in the hope of promoting health and preventing disease. The agency issued draft guidance on August 11, 2016, a revised version of what it had proposed back in 2011. The revised draft presumably takes into account industry comments on the old version, which were scathing, particularly from politicians representing the Supplement Belt.

The revised draft presumably takes into account industry comments on the old version, which were scathing, particularly from politicians representing the Supplement Belt. Not surprising that the revised version has also generated similar reactions. That the industry compliance will cost billions of dollars, which will of course show up in the price the consumer will pay. It may be costly for the industry, but it’s a boon for the consumer. It would be hard to deny that regulatory oversight has been long overdue for all those ingredients, in their natural or modified and altered forms, that go into dietary supplements. The products are currently allowed to be marketed in the U.S. on the basis that as long as they didn’t make any health claims they simply had to be harmless when ingested. What is safe and not safe has generally been based on evidence of established use in food or as food, or sketchy scientific data. It has been generally assumed that naturally occurring substances, whether vitamins,
