• Standardized to 70% Polysaccharides

• Stimulates the Production of Immune Cells and Interferon (Interferon is produced by the body's cells to defend it from external agents such as viruses, bacteria and tumor cells)

• Activates the Immune System

• Promotes rapid recovery in chemotherapy and radiotherapy

• Increases resistance to stress

• Vasodilatory action

• Stimulates antibody synthesis

Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for approximately 4,000 years as a powerful immune system enhancer and adaptogen—a natural, non-toxic substance that helps the body maintain its normal balance of health and well-being. It restores red blood cell formation in the bone marrow, stimulates antibody synthesis, stimulates the body's natural interferon production, supports adrenal function, has a diuretic effect in cases of edema and inflamed kidneys, and helps cancer patients overcome the side effects of chemotherapy.

Contains choline, betaine, dimethoxyisoflavone, glucoronic acid, and other active ingredients. It is used to prevent and treat colds and flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, cardiovascular disorders, high blood pressure, and glandular problems, including those associated with the liver (hepatitis) and kidneys (nephritis). It prevents premature aging and provides energy and vitality.

Scientific research has shown that this root has the ability to strengthen and improve the immune system. It does this by stimulating the body to produce more interferon. This substance helps the body destroy viruses and other unwanted microbes. Interferon is produced by the body's cells to defend it from external agents such as viruses, bacteria, and tumor cells. Interferons induce a state of antiviral resistance in uninfected tissue cells. The virus, upon replicating, activates the interferon-coding gene. After protein synthesis, the protein leaves the cell and enters the bloodstream, reaching neighboring cells that have not yet been attacked.

The protein binds to the cell membrane of these cells and activates the gene encoding antiviral proteins. These viral proteins, in turn, prevent the virus from replicating when it attempts to replicate in these cells. IFNs are produced in the early stages of infection and constitute the first line of resistance to many viruses. One group of interferons (IFNa and IFNb) is produced by virus-infected cells, and another group (IFNg) is synthesized by certain cells or activated T lymphocytes. Interferons alpha, beta, and gamma are natural proteins produced by immune system cells in response to threats from agents such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and tumors. They are used in pathological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, systemic cancer, hepatitis C, and leukemia. Astragalus root is often recommended to stimulate the immune system in those who become ill easily or already have a serious illness.

NOW Astragalus increases energy and vitality levels by improving blood circulation. Astragalus root is highly active in improving cellular communication. Its constituents include polysaccharides and glyconutrients, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and immune system enhancement.
