Mechanism of Action

Astragalus species contain various compounds with potential health benefits, especially for lung health: • Astragaloside: Reduces lung damage, airway inflammation, and hyperresponsiveness, and activates the anti-inflammatory pathway. • Flavonoids: Improve lung function and protect against asthma and COPD. • Triterpenoids: Exhibit antiviral properties beneficial for lung health. • Polysaccharides: Protect the lungs by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair. • Isoflavonoids: Possess anti-inflammatory properties, protect against radiation?induced lung damage, and reduce inflammation. Other components, like amino acids, alkaloids, and specific flavonoids contribute to the overall beneficial effects of Astragalus on lung health.
