GN Astragalus Health Line 90 Capsules

One container of GN Astragalus Health Line contains 90 capsules.
The plant *Astragalus membranaceus* is primarily attributed with the following effects as an adaptogen and for supporting the immune system:
As an adaptogen:
*Astragalus membranaceus* is considered an adaptogen that helps the body adapt to physical, environmental, and emotional stressors.
*It can improve the body's resistance to stress and increase vitality.
*It is traditionally used to strengthen the body, promote longevity, and increase vitality, especially in cases of fatigue, weakness, and general exhaustion.
*It can help combat burnout, fatigue, brain fog, overwhelm, and low mood.
For supporting the immune system:
*Astragalus membranaceus* is known for its immunomodulating properties, which strengthen the immune system and promote the body's ability to prevent illness.
*It can stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting off disease.
* The polysaccharides in astragalus stimulate the production of cytokines, activate macrophages and T cells, and increase the number of natural killer (NK) cells, helping the body fight viruses and bacteria more effectively.
* It can improve adaptive immunity by increasing interferon and immunoglobulin levels.
* It can also help regulate an overactive immune system, which can be beneficial in cases of allergies.
* It supports the proliferation and function of lymphocytes and macrophages, the cells responsible for identifying and eliminating pathogens.
* It can counteract immunosuppression caused by chemotherapy by helping to increase natural killer cell levels.

GN Astragalus Health Line capsules contain a concentrated extract from the root of the Astragalus membranaceus plant. The main active ingredients of this extract are astragalosides (among which astragaloside IV is considered particularly important), specific polysaccharides (astragalus polysaccharides), saponins, and flavonoids (such as formononetin).
With regard to liver and kidney function, the extract possesses hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) and nephroprotective (kidney-protecting) properties. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can protect liver tissue from toxins and oxidative stress. In the kidneys, astragalus supports filtration, can reduce protein excretion in the urine (proteinuria), and promotes blood flow to the kidney tissue, which can be particularly beneficial during periods of high physical exertion or when taking performance-enhancing substances.
With regard to liver and kidney function, the extract has hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) and nephroprotective (kidney-protecting) properties. Regarding cardiovascular health, the extract can improve the endothelial function of blood vessels and exert a mild vasodilatory effect, which can contribute to blood pressure regulation. Furthermore, astragalus is attributed with positive effects on cardiac muscle strength (inotropy) as well as a general protection of the vessel walls against oxidative damage and deposits.

The recommended daily intake for GN Astragalus Health Line capsules is one capsule, which should be swallowed whole with sufficient liquid, such as a glass of water. Certain groups of people should exercise caution before using the product or refrain from using it altogether. This includes, in particular, pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children and adolescents, for whom the product is not suitable. Since astragalus can stimulate the immune system, prior consultation with a doctor is mandatory for individuals with autoimmune diseases or those taking immunosuppressants. Generally, it is recommended that anyone suffering from chronic pre-existing conditions or regularly taking medication seek medical advice before first use to rule out potential interactions or individual health risks.

Polysaccharides and saponins in GN Astragalus Health Line regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity through several mechanisms: They activate the enzyme AMPK, which promotes glucose uptake into cells and reduces insulin resistance. They also protect the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, inhibit carbohydrate digestion enzymes (alpha-glucosidase), and support glycogen storage in the liver and muscles. Saponins such as astragaloside IV additionally help reduce inflammatory processes that could disrupt insulin signaling.
