Product Description
Astragalus Extract is a powder derived from the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus, a plant belonging to the Fabaceae family. It is rich in various components, including saponins, polysaccharides, flavonoids, and amino acids, with its main active ingredients being astragaloside IV and astragalus polysaccharides. This extract possesses multiple pharmacological effects, such as enhancing immunity, boosting energy, combating fatigue, anti-mutagenic activity, liver protection, inhibiting osteoclasts, and regulating metabolism; among these, astragalus polysaccharides can lower blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, while astragaloside IV is capable of reducing blood glucose and inhibiting the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Consequently, Astragalus Root Extract is widely applied in fields like pharmaceuticals, health products, and functional foods.
Astragaloside IV (also known as Astragaloside A) is a major pure saponin compound isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus. It possesses properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective activities, showing promising prospects in preventing cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and certain cancers. This component is highly potent: its efficacy is over twice that of astragalus polysaccharides, and its antiviral activity is even as high as 30 times that of the latter. Due to its low content yet remarkable effectiveness, it is reputed as "Super Astragalus Polysaccharide".
Astragalus polysaccharides are natural water-soluble polysaccharides extracted from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus. Classified as high-molecular carbohydrates formed by the condensation of monosaccharides, they are the main active components responsible for the efficacy of Astragalus membranaceus. Studies have shown that they exhibit multiple biological activities, such as immune enhancement, antioxidation, metabolic regulation, and liver protection. Due to their mild and extensive pharmacological properties, they are widely used in fields including pharmaceuticals, health products, and functional foods.
Introduction of Plant Extract Source
Astragalus, also known as Astragali Radix, is the dried root of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus or Astragalus membranaceus, plants belonging to the genus Astragalus in the Fabaceae family. With a sweet taste and slightly warm nature, it acts on the spleen and lung meridians, boasting a history of application as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb for over a thousand years. Astragalus is mainly produced in northern China, including regions such as Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and mostly grows in jungle valleys. Its cylindrical main root with a yellowish-brown surface is usually dug in autumn to obtain optimal medicinal value. It has effects such as invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi, promoting diuresis to reduce swelling, and expelling toxins to promote tissue regeneration, thus honored as "the chief of tonics". Its extract, which concentrates these active components from the root, is widely used in health care fields such as enhancing immunity.
