Introduction of astragalus extract: Bridging Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science

For over 2,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has revered Astragalus membranaceus (Huang Qi) as a premier Qi-tonifying herb. Today, modern extraction technologies and clinical research have unlocked the scientific basis for its traditional uses, transforming this ancient root into a powerful, standardized extract with multiple evidence-based applications.

At Hunan MT Health, we combine centuries of herbal wisdom with cutting-edge extraction technology to deliver premium astragalus extract that meets the highest standards of purity and potency. But what exactly is this versatile extract used for in modern formulations?

Our standardized extracts ensure consistent levels of these active compounds, guaranteeing reliable performance in your formulations.
