What is Organic Astragalus Extract Powder?
Organic Astragalus Extract Powder is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown roots of Astragalus membranaceus (commonly known as Huang Qi or Milk Vetch Root). The roots undergo a precise extraction process, typically using water, to concentrate the key bioactive compounds, particularly polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins (astragalosides). The extract is then purified, filtered, and carefully dried into a fine, free-flowing powder. The organic certification ensures that the raw materials are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Astragalus is revered as an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Its primary fame comes from its profound role in supporting a healthy immune system, often referred to as an “immune tonic.” Beyond immunity, it’s traditionally used to boost energy, support cardiovascular health, and promote vitality. Our Organic Astragalus Extract Powder offers a potent and standardized solution to deliver these benefits, providing excellent solubility and a neutral flavor profile that integrates seamlessly into a variety of health-focused formulations.
