History and Usage:

Astragalus root has been known for centuries to promote a healthy immune system and to boost stamina. Traditional Chinese medicine has used astragalus to improve the tone of the spleen and blood.

Astragalus is a rich source of polysaccharides, flavonoids, isoflavones, saponins and asterols, all of which help promote optimum health. Studies suggest that astragalus root boosts the number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue so that they develop into active immune cells more readily. It also appears to improve the production of immunoglobulin and stimulates the activity of macrophages, as well as activating T cells and other immune system components.

Research also indicates that the antioxidant properties of astragalus can protect the heart and other membranes from free radical damage. Each capsule contains 420 mg of astragalus root.
