Product Description:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Astragalus is used to "invigorate vital energy"(qi), and to strengthen bodily resistance to disease. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of colds, flu, stomach ulcers and diabetes and is widely used in modern herbal practice in China.
Classed as a "superior herb" in the 2,000 year old classic Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, Astragalus has been extensively studied by modern science - particularly for its properties as a powerful immunostimulant.
Benefits of Astragalus:
Immune Boosting.
Astragalus has a long and enduring history as a potent immune boosting herb and disease fighter.  It is an immunostimulant (an agent that stimulates the immune system) that it is known to increase the count of white blood cells and stimulate the production of antibodies, this builds up bodily resistance to viruses and bacteria.
There have been many clinical studies showing how Astragalus not only boosts the immune system, but also encourages an increase in immune cell (T-cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, immunoglobulin) activity, production, and function.
Astragalus appears to help trigger immune cells from a resting state into heightened activity. The number of macrophages (cells of the immune system that ingest foreign antigens to protect against infection) has been shown to increase after administering Astragalus. The natural killer cells of the immune system also have a markedly enhanced ability to fight intruders (five to six times higher than normal).
Adaptogen.
Astragalus root is considered an adaptogen - it helps to build and restore overall health to the body.  It is especially used for cases of adrenal fatigue, in particular when symptoms manifest as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia.
Heart Health.
Research shows that the plant flavonoids present in Astragalus have cardioprotective effects, helping to plaque build up in the arteries and narrowing of the blood vessel walls by protecting the inner wall of the vessel. It has also been shown to reduce blood pressure and lower triglycerides. One particular study published in the "Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine" found that one particular flavonoid "Astragaloside IV" exerted protective effects on the cardiovascular system.
Sexual Health.
Traditionally prescribed in Chinese Medicine for male infertility, Astragalus has now been scientifically proven to increase sperm motility in a study conducted by the Institutes of Traditional Medicine and Clinical Medicine. It is extremely supportive of male hormones, by balancing glucose levels it can optimise testosterone and growth hormone levels.
Anti-Aging.
Astragalus has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for longevity, to invigorate qi (vital energy) and to strengthen the body. New and exciting research is currently being conducted that shows that Astragalus does, indeed, have powerful anti-aging properties, slowing the aging process at a cellular level.
