BulkSupplements.com Astragalus Extract Powder - Astragalus Root Powder, Herbal Supplement - Vegan & Gluten Free, 500mg per Serving, 100g (3.5 oz) (Pack of 1)

This is a power herbal supplement.I came across this and purchased it to help with high blood pressure, stress and low energy.First thing I noticed was that I had the best sleep after taking a night dose and it stopped my snoring! My partner always complained about how my snoring messed with his sleep.I woke up well rested and more energetic. I believe in this herb, as an adaptogen it deals issues in the body that need fixing. I had sleep apnea as well, and though I haven't done a sleep test after I started this herbal supplement one major change I've noticed is better sleep which is an indication that my sleep disturbances have lessened. Note that high blood pressure, sleep apnea and snoring often go together. I love astragalus root and bulk Supplements has the best Supplements.

My creatinine levels have always been on the moderately high end (a bit above 1), which isn't anywhere near the level of chronic kidney disease, but does indicate less-than-optimal kidney function. I wanted to improve that, and I'd seen a few published clinical papers (and a ton of anecdotal reports online) suggesting that astragalus can lower creatinine, so I gave this a try. And I'm glad to say it really worked! After taking 1-2 teaspoons mixed with water first thing in the morning for a few months, my creatinine levels fell substantially and stayed down. I obviously can't be sure if this is what did the trick, since I also started taking potassium at the same time, and for whatever reason in my own blood work higher potassium has always meant lower creatinine. But, assuming this has helped, I just ordered my second bag of this stuff, and plan to stay on it for the foreseeable future.

In my ongoing search for natural, healthful supplements, the benefits of the traditional Chinese medicine herb Astragalus came to my attention. In addition to boosting immunity, Astragalus has antibacterial, adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral effects. It is thought to help the body resist virus infections, particularly in the lungs, by increasing production of interferon, an immune factor that inhibits viral growth. Plus there are benefits for the heart and liver as well as studies showing enhanced efficacy of cancer chemotherapy when Astragalus is utilized during treatment.If you are interested in best value, Bulksupplements Pure Astragalus Extract Powder is excellent. No fillers or diluters, just the pure stuff you want in powder form. Kind of a funky taste, but not to the point of discouraging ingestion of the recommended daily dose.

I had to locate my own 1/2 t measuring spoon, which is the recommended daily dose. It does not dissolve easily in the Briggs apple cider vinegar I use each night with water, but since it has no taste, even if I drink a small clump of it with my evening vitamins, that is OK. The bag will not reseal, even though it has a zip lock top. I had to find a bag sealer. So there was a lot of improvising I had to do to use the product. That said, it is definitely improving my breathing. I can take large lungful's of air after only two weeks of using it.

I think this will become one of my favorite supplements from this company. I started taking astragalus as part of my personal antiaging experiments. I had read that astragalus may have a positive effect on one's telomeres -- slowing down their tendency to shorten with age (if not stopping the shortening altogether). I started with capsules, but I much prefer this powder. I get tired of "popping pills" in terms of all the nutrients I take, so powders just work better for me as I can mix them into my coffee.The astragalus powder is virtually tasteless, unlike some of the other extracts from this company, and it dissolves well in liquid. As for effects, who can really say? This is the last supplement to be added to my regimen, and I've only been using it a little while, but it seems that I have more energy and look better (younger, too, I hope). It would be unscientific to pin this to this particular supplement, and there's always the placebo effect to contend with, but I just "feel" that somehow it's really doing me good.Other products I'm using from this company, BTW, include maca root, broccoli extract (gives a veggie taste to my coffee), L-arginine, and pine bark extract (the hardest one to dissolve). I like the purity of the extracts, and if I could switch from capsules/tablets to powder for all of my supplements, I would be very happy.

Astragalus along with schizandra and gynostemma are, in my opinion the greatest herbs. Astragalus is believed to support the body's immune system. It is believed to have heart benefits and to support healthy kidney function, and healthy blood sugar levels. It is a great anti-aging supplement.. The color is darker than you might expect astragalus to be, but this is an extract. The color of an extract changes substantially depending on strength of extract and carrier utilized. This is a pure supplement free of sugar and additives. Unlike schizandra which is available from many other companies, quality astragalus powder is more difficult to find You have found it here. Great product!

I have been taking this astragalus extract powder from bulk supplements now for about 3 weeks. 2 tsps a day on an empty stomach. I’m starting to feel much better and have more energy. I was starting to feel rundown and weak which I figured just comes with aging but I feel a lot better now, stronger, so I’m attributing it to this supplement which I will continue to take as long as I keep feeling this good. The Only drawback is the taste (wow) terrible- but I don’t care- it worth it!

This is not pure Astragalus root. Read the ingredients list (which I, obviously, did not do). It contains Maltodextrin, a chemical derived from plants. Even though it is from plants, the body does not treat it as it would cane sugar. Scientists say that your body treats Maltodextrin like a super high dose of sugar raising your blood sugar level higher than a single dose of sugar would. I find this ludicrous as Astragalus is a plant root used to help the body adapt and heal. If you are using Astragalus root to boost your immune system, please note that the Maltodextrin is tearing down your immune system. It’s counter productive. Look elsewhere for a clean product for boosting your immune system. Despite what the package says, this is NOT a “Clean & Pure Bulk Supplement”.
