Astragalus root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and is known for its various health benefits. Here are some of its key benefits:

1. Boosts Immune System

Astragalus is known for its immune-boosting properties. It helps the body produce more white blood cells, which fight infections.

2. Supports Heart Health

It may help lower blood pressure and improve circulation by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Some studies suggest it can help manage heart failure symptoms.

3. Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Properties

Astragalus contains antioxidants that protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation, which may help prevent chronic diseases.

4. May Help with Diabetes

Research suggests that astragalus can help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

5. Supports Kidney Health

Some studies show that astragalus may help protect kidney function and reduce protein loss in urine, particularly in people with kidney disease.

6. May Help Fight Cancer

Some compounds in astragalus are believed to have anti-cancer effects, helping slow tumor growth and boosting the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

7. Supports Respiratory Health

Astragalus has been used to treat colds, allergies, and respiratory infections by improving lung function and reducing mucus production.

8. May Enhance Energy & Reduce Fatigue

It is often used in traditional medicine to combat fatigue, particularly in people with chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome or cancer-related fatigue.

9. Supports Liver Health

Astragalus may help protect the liver from toxins and improve liver function in people with liver disease.
