Astragalus

Origin of Ingredient

Plant, fungal or algal source; commercial materials may be powders, oils or standardised extracts depending on specification.

History of Ingredient

Astragalus has roots in food or traditional botanical use in one or more regions. Modern supplement use increasingly relies on identity testing, extraction and standardisation; traditional use alone does not establish clinical efficacy or a permitted health claim.

Scientific Makeup of Ingredient

Complex mixture of naturally occurring phytochemicals; marker compounds and extract ratios depend on the exact raw-material specification.
