Features:
Astragalus Extract comes from the root of astragalus membranaceus, and the major active ingredients of this extract are Astragaloside IV and polysaccharides.
KINGHERBS can offer 10% to 98% Astragaloside IV, 10% to 70% polysaccharides. Astragaloside IV has been widely used to treat ischemic diseases, and also shown to inhibit inflammation, oxidation, and apoptosis. The polysaccharides found in Astragalus have received a great attention, especially the polysaccharide fraction F3. They have been shown to play a role in immunomodulatory actions. Polysaccharides A, B, and C have been identified as glucans, and polysaccharide D as a heteropolysaccharide.
