Astragalus is high in saponins which contribute to the body’s non-specific immunity. It has also been proven that it stimulates the phagocytic activity of macrophages, which too increases the body’s immunity.
Astragalus is recommended for people recovering from infections. It accelerates the regeneration of the body and contributes to overall condition improvement. The extract contains polysaccharides that delay glucose absorption, so they can also be used by people suffering from diabetes and those struggling with excessive weight.
