Astragalus Extract Complex With: Ashwagandha, Panax Ginseng, Maca Root, Rhodiola. Dietary Supplement Made in the United States (2 Bottles, 120 Vegetable Capsules) Product Description. Astragalus is a plant with a very long history as an immune system booster and disease fighter. Its roots are in Traditional Chinese Medicine, in which it's been used as an adaptogen for thousands of years - meaning it helps the body fight off stress and disease. Astragalus contains three components that allow the plant to have such a positive impact on human health: saponins, flavonoids and polysaccharides, which are all active compounds contained in certain plants, including some fruits and vegetables. Saponins are known for their ability to lower cholesterol, and improve the immune system. Flavanoids, also found in astragalus, provide health benefits through cell signaling. They show antioxidative qualities, control and scavenge of free radicals, and can help prevent heart disease, and immunodeficiency viruses. Polysaccharides are known to have antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory capabilities, among other health benefits. Health Benefits of Astragalus Complex: Acts as an anti-inflammatory Boosts the immune system Protects the cardiovascular system Contains antioxidative and anti-aging capabilities Other ingredients in Astragalus Complex: Rhodiola. Rhodiola, or golden root, is a potent adaptogen that has been the focus of much research. Like the other adaptogens, rhodiola provides a biological defense against stress - a study in roundworms suggests that it actually acts as a mild stressor when ingested, allowing the organism to boost its stress defenses (similar to how astragalus root works). A human trial conducted in 2009 by scientists in Sweden tested rhodiola's impact on people "suffering with stress-related fatigue." They found that repeatedly administering rhodiola rosea "exerts an anti-fatigue effect that increases mental performance, particularly the ability to concentrate, and decreases cortisol response to awakening stress in burnout patients with fatigue syndrome." Panax Ginseng. Benefit-rich ginseng is one well-known adaptogen, and Panax ginseng is considered by many to be the most potent. In humans, Panax ginseng has been shown to successfully improve subjective calmness and some aspects of working memory performance in healthy young adults.
