Astragalus Root Extract | Full Spectrum | Wild Cultivated
✧ What is Astragalus Root?
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is one of the most treasured herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is known as huang qi, "the yellow leader". It is one of the fifty fundamental herbs of the Chinese tradition, a classic Qi tonic that has been taken for well over two thousand years, particularly through the colder months of the year.
It is the root of a small leguminous plant native to the grasslands of northern China and Mongolia, harvested from mature plants several years old, when the long, fibrous roots are at their richest. In the traditional view, astragalus is a warming, strengthening root, valued for supporting the body's deep reserves of vital energy.
✧ What is a full spectrum extract, and why does it matter?
Our astragalus is extracted with purified water, in line with the traditions of Chinese herbalism, using a gentle, temperature-controlled process matched to the root's characteristics. This captures the naturally occurring compounds in the same proportions found in the root itself, which is what makes it a true full spectrum extract rather than an isolated or standardised fraction.
The liquid extract is then dried with fine spray technology into a micro-fine 10:1 powder that dissolves easily into warm water. Nothing is added, and nothing is standardised away, so what you take mirrors the balance of the whole root, concentrated tenfold.

✧ Where does our Astragalus come from?
Our astragalus is sourced from northern China, the herb's traditional home, where the climate and soil suit the deep, slow growth of the root. We work directly with our supplier to verify origin and batch quality, and only the mature roots are used, dried and extracted in the traditional way. Every batch is tested before it reaches you.
