Astragalus 1000 mg - 300 capsules

Astragalus is another little-known plant in the Western world with extremely beneficial green properties. This adaptogenic herb helps the body cope with illness and at the same time improves the effects of stress. In addition to supporting the immune system, it supports the health of the heart, kidneys, liver and a number of other organs and systems.

What is astragalus?

The perennial herb Astragalus membranaceus belongs to the Fabaceae family and is found mainly in Northeast Asia - especially in China and in some parts of Mongolia and the Korean Peninsula. It reaches a height of one meter and is currently not threatened with extinction. For medicinal purposes, the main roots are used, which are collected from 4-year-old specimens.

Astragalus has a long history as a means of strengthening immunity and fighting various diseases. The first records of its use date back to ancient China, where healers used it as an adaptogen - a remedy that helps the body cope with health problems - thousands of years ago. It is one of the 50 essential herbs in Mongolian traditional medicine and is featured in the official Japanese pharmacopoeia.

The main contribution to the positive impact of astragalus on human health is made by three groups of biochemicals that make up its composition - saponins, flavonoids and polysaccharides. Saponins are well known for their ability to lower cholesterol levels, stimulate the immune system and counteract the development of cancer. Flavonoids, on the other hand, improve overall signaling and appear to neutralize free radicals, and among the beneficial characteristics of polysaccharides are their pronounced antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.
