Astragalus, in Latin Astragalus membranaceus, is a plant from the legume family whose root has long been used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
Astragalus root is botanically known for the presence of polysaccharides, saponins (including astragalosides) and flavonoids. These substances are naturally found in the root of this plant.
Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules that occur naturally in plants, including astragalus root. They are often mentioned as characteristic components of herbal extracts.
Saponins are a group of naturally occurring plant compounds found in various herbs, including astragalus. A specific group of saponins in astragalus is referred to as astragalosides.
Dried root is the harvested and dried part of the plant in powder form, as in this product. An extract is a further processed form in which certain constituents from the root are concentrated through an extraction process.
Astragalus root has traditionally also been used in Chinese herbal medicine in the form of dried root slices, for example processed in soups or decoctions (teas).
