Defend yourself against disease. For more than 2,000 years, astragalus has been used in Asia to strengthen vitality and prevent illness, especially the cold and flu. Astragalus stimulates the body’s production of interferon, which is a protein produced by the cells in the immune system that boosts your ability to fight infections and diseases. It restores healthy immune function despite physical, chemical or radiation damage. In fact, cancer patients taking astragalus throughout chemotherapy and radiation treatments may experience far fewer side effects and recover at a faster rate. This herb also increases the longevity of human cells and benefits the skin, speeding up the healing of wounds and infections. Of side interest, astragalus can also be helpful in male infertility because it can increase sperm production and motility.
Live long, strong and happy.
