Mycolife Astragalus extract

For over a thousand years, Astragalus, also known as Chinese Huang Qi or Milkvetch, has been one of the most important tonic and adaptogenic herbs in China. Traditionally, it was used to strengthen "Qi," prepare the body and mind for challenges, and slow down aging. Scientific research supports these observations, making Astragalus a globally recognized natural remedy.

Why Choose Astragalus?

• Adaptogenic Properties: Astragalus balances bodily functions by stimulating underperforming functions and calming overactive ones. This helps the body adapt to external and internal changes, thereby alleviating stress by impacting the psycho-neuro-endocrine system.

• Immune Booster: Traditionally, the root is used in various forms—ointments, decoctions, tinctures—to support the immune system, liver, kidneys, and heart functions. Clinical studies have shown that it increases white blood cell and platelet levels, as well as circulating cytokines in the human body.

• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: Astragalus effectively reduces inflammation and protects cells from oxidative stress. It can help in cases of infectious hepatitis and viral endocarditis.

• Blood Pressure Regulator: It can reduce blood pressure, thereby decreasing the risk of kidney damage and atherosclerosis.

Anti-Aging Effects

Astragalus is most renowned for its anti-aging properties. The astragalosides and cycloastragenol found in it stimulate the activity of telomerase enzymes, which protect the ends of DNA chains (telomeres) from damage. This prevents cellular aging and promotes regeneration, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Research and Findings

Scientific studies have demonstrated that Astragalus root extract enhances the function of the telomerase enzyme, which restores the shortened telomeres during cell division. This allows cells to divide more times, contributing to the preservation of cellular youth.

Usage Recommendations

• Enhancing Endurance: Reduces fatigue in athletes and is particularly recommended for chronic fatigue.

• Metabolic Support: Improves glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance.

• Immunomodulatory: Useful in immune system disorders, stimulates immune function.

• Quality of Life Improvement: Particularly beneficial in chronic fatigue syndrome, physically and mentally demanding situations, physical exertion (sports, work), and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Summary

Astragalus is a versatile, natural extract that supports the body's rejuvenating processes, boosts the immune system, and helps maintain physical and mental balance. Choose Astragalus to stay younger and healthier for longer!
