Frequently Asked Questions

What are polysaccharides and why are they important in astragalus?

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate compounds found in astragalus root that are associated with its immune-supporting properties. Standardising the extract to 70% polysaccharides ensures that each capsule delivers a consistent, potent dose of these active compounds.

How does astragalus support the immune system?

Astragalus has been shown in non-clinical studies to support the healthy production and activity of specialised white blood cells, which are key components of the immune system. It is traditionally used as a tonic to strengthen the body's natural defences over time.

Can astragalus be taken with other immune supplements?

Astragalus is commonly used alongside other immune-supporting supplements. However, consult your healthcare professional before combining supplements, particularly if you are taking immunosuppressant medications or have an autoimmune condition.

Is NOW Astragalus Extract suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW Astragalus Extract 500mg is formulated in vegetarian capsules and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is produced without common animal-derived ingredients under strict GMP quality standards.
