HOW IT WORKS
Astragalus contains several beneficial compounds that have health-protecting benefits. These include saponins, sterols, isoflavones and polysaccharides, and they may help to minimize free radical damage to membranes. Astragalus is a powerful adaptogenic herb that heightens the immune system and may help activate T cells and has been used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.
Astragalus has been shown to promote the production of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. It also enhances the body’s production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages.
Astragalus can help activate T cells and natural killer cells. Astragalus appears to help trigger immune cells from a “resting” state into heightened activity. Astragalus has also been used as a tonic to build stamina.
