Astragalus Supreme Liquid Phyto-Caps contain astragalus, which has been a foundational herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years. It is included in formulas to support Wei Qi (Chi), or the conceptual “shield” which serves as a primary defense mechanism against pernicious threats to the system.
Astragalus is sweet, and nourishing and often included in recipes for soups which are used for convalescence and general strengthening of the system. In TCM it is said to tonify the “spleen” and hence is used for fatigue linked to decreased appetite. It is part of the Milk Vetch or Fabaceae family. It is traditionally used in its dried powdered form or as a strong decoction, made from boiling the dried root in water for an extended period.

There is a great deal of research interest in Astragalus, which contains a wide array of constituents including flavonoids, sapponins, polysaccharides, free form amino acids, essential fatty acids and trace minerals. The triterpenoid sapponins known as astragalosides support the integrity of mucous membranes and epithelial cells in the respiratory tract through an antioxidant mechanism. The polysaccharides are of particular interest for their immune supporting properties. Astragalus is shown to effect non-specific defenses such as promoting macrophage and monocyte function as well as interferon activity. It also supports deep immune function by promoting natural killer cell and t-cell function. It appears especially effective when immune function is stressed by environmental or endogenous challenges.

Schizandra is classified as an Adaptogenic Herb. Russian Scientist Nicolai Lazarev discovered adaptogens in 1947 and defined them as such; 1)They are completely non-toxic to the human body and have almost no harmful effects no matter what amounts or how long they are used, 2)They catalyze responses in the body’s mental and physical performance as well as provide resistance to stressful insult at the cellular level, 3)Their effect is to balance and normalize the body’s systems leading to overall homeostasis and health.*
There has been a fair amount of research done on the extract and its isolated constituents. The major chemical constituents in Schizandra berry are; schizandrin, deoxyschizandrin, schisanhenol, schizandrol, sesquicarene, citral, stigmasterol, and vitamins C and E. Much of the clinical research has focused on the effects of Schizandra on liver function, especially its effect on the production of various liver detoxifying enzymes and the activation of the CYP450 enzyme system, as well as the antioxidant activity of the extract. More research is needed to fully understand the exact biochemical activity of this tremendous plant.*
