Lipokon Kalmegh (10%)
Lipokon Kalmegh is a formulation where the Kalmegh extract (especially its andrographolide content) is encapsulated in lipokons.
Kalmegh is a plant which is also known as “Green Chiretta” and the “King of Bitters”. It is used for various medicinal purposes and is bitter in taste.
It is mainly used for liver problems as it protects the liver against damage caused by free radicals due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Kalmegh also helps to boost immunity and is used to manage the symptoms of the common cold, sinusitis and allergies due to its antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Kalmegh might be good for diabetics as it is effective in lowering blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion. It also helps in managing blood pressure by widening the blood vessels and increasing blood flow.
According to Ayurveda, taking Kalmegh churna regularly helps to manage arthritis by reducing the Ama and also stimulates appetite by improving the digestive fire.
Kalmegh powder along with coconut oil can be applied on the skin to manage eczema, boils and skin infections due to its antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Kalmegh is bitter in taste so it is advisable to take it with some sweetener or in diluted form.
- Kalmegh extract is prepared, usually standardized to a certain percentage of andrographolide (e.g., 10%-30%).
- The extract is mixed with phospholipids, usually sunflower lecithin or soy lecithin.
- This mixture forms tiny liposomes (fat-based bubbles) around the Kalmegh molecules.
- When ingested, the liposomes protect the extract as it passes through the stomach, allowing more of it to reach the bloodstream and target tissues.

Reduced Dosage
Liposomal products offer superior bioavailability compared to their standalone moieties due to their unique structure. Liposomes are microscopic vesicles composed of phospholipid bilayers that encapsulate active ingredients. This design protects the nutrient from degradation in the digestive tract and enhances its absorption in the gut. Liposomes fuse with cell membranes, allowing the active compound to be delivered directly into the bloodstream or target cells. As a result, a higher percentage of the nutrient reaches systemic circulation, offering faster onset of action and improved efficacy compared to conventional forms.
