Astragalus Powder is an immunomodulator. It contains Glycosides, Polysaccharides, Choline, Betaine, Rumatakenin, and Beta-Sitosterol.

It activates the immune system, thus enhancing the body's natural ability to fight disease and protecting the body against a number of toxins.

Traditional Chinese medicine prescribes astragalus for maladies related to deficiencies of the spleen.

Diseases treated with herbal formulas featuring astragalus can result from poor nutrition or digestive problems.

Modern research shows that simple preparations of astragalus as a whole herb stimulate the immune system in several ways. It increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow, and encourages their maturity into active white blood cells. It appears to help signal the white blood cells known as neutrophils to migrate to places they are needed to fight infection.

It stimulates the "germ-eating" white blood cells known as macrophages, activates T-cells and natural killer (NIK) cells, and increases the production of immune globulins. Usually taken with a variety of other herbs.
