ArmaForce is a comprehensive vegan formula combining clinically trialled andrographis and immune supporting nutrients. Andrographis decreases the severity of symptoms of mild upper respiratory tract infections, including sore throat, headache, runny nose, cough, fatigue and restless sleep. Zinc and vitamin C maintain healthy immune system function.

ArmaForce contains andrographis AP Bio extract, which is a clinically trialled phytochemical composition standardised to andrographolides and other diterpene lactones derived from Andrographis paniculata. AP Bio has a seed to-shelf operational efficiency which ensures sustainability of the ingredient.
