Zandu Kalamegha is claimed to provide multiple health benefits:
-
Liver Support / Detoxification

Helps maintain healthy liver functioning.

Blood Sugar / Metabolic Support (Possible)
-
According to Zandu’s own description, it may have a hypoglycemic effect (i.e., help reduce elevated blood sugar).
-
Mechanism (How It Works in Traditional / Herbal Logic)
-
Andrographolide, the key active compound in Kalamegha, is believed to have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective actions
-
By supporting the liver (a major detox organ), the formulation helps the body cleanse itself of metabolic toxins.
-
Through its immune support, it may strengthen resistance to mild viral infections.
-
In traditional Ayurvedic terms, Kalamegha is used as a tikta (bitter) tonic, which helps “shodhana” (cleansing) and “yakrit-shodhana” (liver detox).

Safety / Side Effects
-
According to available information, the product is generally safe when used as recommended.

Some sources note that Andrographis paniculata (Kalamegha) can have a bitter taste, and in higher doses or long-term use, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. (This is a known herbal-safety consideration.)

As with any “liver tonic” herb, caution is advised if you have pre-existing liver disease — consult a doctor or Ayurvedic practitioner before starting.

If you like, I can check recent clinical studies (2020–2025) on Kalamegha (Andrographis) to see how strong the scientific evidence is for these liver, immunity, and detox claims — do you want me to do that?
