A potent 20:1 concentrated adaptogen, helping the body physically, emotionally, and mentally. Astragalus membranaceus has been primarily used in western medicine to strengthen the immune system function. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is also used for augmenting the QI (vital energy). By augmenting QI, Astragalus is also an adaptogen, meaning it helps protect the body from physical, mental, or emotional stress. Astragalus membranaceus was initially recorded in one of the most famous ancient Chinese medical book, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, in 200 AD with a wide range of therapeutic effects and no toxicity (Sun & Sun, 2010).
