Description of Formula
Astragalus Supreme is a unique formula specifically designed to support the health of the immune system and aid the body in developing its inherent ability to adapt to temporary stress. The herbs in this formula work together to encourage overall immune system health and stamina, and improve one's natural ability to endure both physical and emotional stress. Astragalus Supreme also provides antioxidant protection from free radical damage to cells and tissue. Its component herbs support immunologic balance, optimal liver function and a healthy heart.*
Astragalus root has long been valued in China for its role in supporting immune system health, encouraging vital heart function, and enhancing the body's natural resistance and adaptation to stressful influences. As well, this highly regarded root offers antioxidant protection. Fittingly, astragalus root's antioxidant properties may have a beneficial effect on liver and heart function by protecting these vital organs from the damaging effects of free radicals. In traditional Chinese Medicine, astragalus is considered one of the most important tonics in existence, earning the name of "yellow leader," due to the root's characteristic yellow color and superior performance among Chinese tonic herbs.*
Several research studies suggest a synergistic effect between astragalus root and ligustrum berries, another tonic highly regarded in China for its role in supporting a healthy immune system response.*
Ligustrum berries are native to China and have been used since ancient times for a wide range of health promoting purposes, primarily related to supporting optimal immune system health. Several scientific investigations have examined the constituents of ligustrum berries. One constituent that has received considerable attention is called ligustrin, or oleanolic acid. Ligustrin enhances immune system function, encourages healthy fluid levels and supports a healthy liver.*
Schizandra berries contain a variety of active constituents that are collectively known as lignans. These compounds promote healthy immune system and liver function. Specifically, these berries provide powerful antioxidant protection, particularly from free radicals and other toxins that normally enter into the liver and cause cellular damage. Regarded as a popular adaptogenic agent, schizandra berries are unique in that they hold a remarkable blend of five distinct flavor properties collectively serving to promote overall health and vitality. Namely, bitter, sweet, sour, salty and hot. Schizandra berries function to enhance the body's natural resistance and adaptation to stressful influences, support mental endurance and promote overall metabolic efficiency.*
