Learn all about Astragalus

Astragalus is classified as an "adaptogenic" herb because it supports many body functions. Adaptogenic herbs protect the body from stress and assist in maintaining good overall health.

The major components of Astragalus are polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins. These components have potential properties for our bodies, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, expectorant and diuretic.

Astragalus may be useful to help improve blood counts, maintain good blood sugar and cholesterol levels, promote increased urine output, and support general good health.

Astragalus may assist with:

• Energy
• Respiratory tract
• Immune function
• Inflammation
• Stress
• Blood sugar
• Cholesterol

Astragalus propinquus is a flowering plant of the Fabaceae family. Is commonly known as Huang Qi, Mongolian milkvetch, běi qí, or huáng huā huáng qí.

History of Astragalus

Astragalus has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2000 years to a wide variety of diseases and body disorders, and to promote good overall health. For example, it has been used as an immunomodulating agent for the treatment of common cold, diarrhea, fatigue and anorexia.

Studies and Trials for Astragalus

"[Effects of astragalus on cardiac function and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha level in patients with chronic heart failure]".

This trial explores the effects of Astragalus on cardiac function and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) level in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Patients with heart failure were given 2.25 grams of Astragalus twice daily for two weeks, along with conventional treatment. They experienced greater improvements in heart function compared to those receiving standard treatment alone.

The results suggest that Astragalus can alleviate the calcium overload-induced myocardial damage and improve both systolic and diastolic functions of heart in patients with CHF.

"Astragalus polysaccharide improves insulin sensitivity in KKAy mice: regulation of PKB/GLUT4 signaling in skeletal muscle."

The Aim of this study is to analyze the mechanisms by which Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), an important bioactive component of the Astragalus herb, ameliorates diabetes.

APS was administered to 12-week-old diabetic KKAy and nondiabetic C57BL/6J mice for 8 weeks. Changes in body weight, blood glucose level, insulin resistance index, and oral glucose tolerance were routinely evaluated.

The results indicated that APS can regulate part of the insulin signaling in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle, and that APS could be a potential insulin sensitizer for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
