Detailed description

Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is a root traditionally used to strengthen vital energy, increase endurance, and support immunity. It originates from Oriental medicine and is harvested at 4–7 years, when its root concentrates its greatest pharmacological potency.

It is an adaptogen that activates general metabolism, nourishes vital organs, and improves the body's capacity to handle physical, emotional, and environmental stress. It is traditionally used to elevate energy, vitality, digestion, and immune resilience.

Modern evidence widely supports it. Its extracts, rich in polysaccharides and saponins, show powerful effects:

Intelligent immunostimulation

Unlike plants such as Echinacea, Astragalus does not exhaust the immune system with prolonged use.
It stimulates:

• NK (natural killer) cells
• Interferon production
• Phagocytosis
• Immune cytotoxicity by 5–6 times

This makes it ideal for both cold prevention and viral infections.

Hepatoprotection and detoxification

Protects the liver from toxins, prevents the drop in hepatic glycogen, and promotes recovery in hepatitis.
Eliminates toxins from the liver and gallbladder, improves appetite, and normalizes liver enzymes (GPT).

Antiviral and anti-inflammatory

Inhibits viral replication (including coxsackie) and reduces symptoms, shortening the duration of flus and colds.

Metabolism, circulation, and oxygenation

Normalizes cardiac functions, improves blood oxygenation, and strengthens the urinary and circulatory systems.
Helps with arthritis, asthma, nervous fatigue, and immune system conditions.
