WHAT IS ASTRAGALUS ROOT EXTRACT?
Astragalus Root Extract Powder is derived from the dried roots of the Astragalus membranaceus plant. Traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine, this extract is renowned for its nourishing, restorative, and fatigue-reducing properties, thanks to its powerful antioxidant effects. Modern research has identified key active compounds in astragalus, including polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, and amino acids, which contribute to enhanced immune function by promoting antibody production and strengthening the body’s defenses.
The extract contains 13 distinct polysaccharides with intricate chemical structures, known in traditional practices for supporting Qi (vital energy). It can be used independently or blended with other botanicals, such as Scutellaria baicalensis extract, to combat aging, boost vitality, and strengthen immunity—particularly against colds and blood-related conditions. Additionally, astragalus acts as an adaptogen, helping the body resist stress, restore balance, and improve overall resilience. It may also aid in managing cholesterol, alleviating seasonal allergies, and reducing stress levels.
