Key features

- Whole root powder rather than an extract
- Traditionally regarded as an adaptogenic herb
- Naturally contains flavonoids, free amino acids, trace minerals and polyphenols
It is the root of the astragalus plant that is used in traditional practice. This version uses the whole powdered root, giving the full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds rather than a concentrated fraction.
If you prefer a standardised product, NOW also offers an astragalus extract. This root powder suits people who want the herb in a form closer to its traditional use, without having to brew teas or decoctions.
