NOW Astragalus Extract 500mg 90vcaps
Astragalus root (huang qi) has been used as a popular herbal tonic in China for many centuries valued for its adaptogenic properties, as well as for its ability to tonify the body's "vital force" known as the Qi. More recently, Astragalus has been found to support healthy immune function through numerous mechanisms. Non-clinical studies using Astragalus have demonstrated it can support the healthy production of and activity of specialised white blood cells. Astragalus has also been studied for its role in the support of healthy liver and vascular function.
Adaptogens promote a balanced stress response by helping the body “adapt” to the harmful effects that stress can have on the body. Adaptogenic herbs such as Astragalus, not only support stress but help support a healthy immune function. Astragalus is a natural source of flavonoids, free amino acids, polysaccharides, trace minerals and polyphenols, active components that can help support immune system function.
