Can You Take Andrographis and Green Tea Extract (EGCG) Together?

Use extra care with this pair

The short answer

Both Andrographis (andrographolide) and high-dose EGCG have hepatotoxicity reports. Combined use may increase liver enzyme elevations.

How to arrange timing

Monitor liver function if combining, especially during cold/flu season when andrographis use may be added to existing supplement routines.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
