Info: 60 Veg. Capsules
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used Astragalus for millennia to help strengthen the body's immune system; known as an adaptogen. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is also a powerful antioxidant. It can be helpful in providing resilience amidst a variety of stress types (including mental, emotional, and physical), and also appears to have both neuro- and cardio-protective effects, thanks largely to its main active ingredients, Astragaloside IV and Calycosin.
