Astragalus (11)

Astragalus is one of the great tonic herbs as it strongly tonifies the vital Qi of the body as well as generates blood and fluids. It is a first class herb for maintaining a healthy immune system. This is a premium energy tonic for athletes and anyone looking for more day to day energy and vitality. Astragalus is categorized as an Energy (Qi) tonifying herb. It thus directly supports the Lung and Spleen organs in the body. By supporting those organs, energy derived from the foods you eat and the air you breathe is increased. As an immune system tonic, Astragalus tonifies what the Chinese call "wei qi" or "protective qi" which is the energy that runs just below the surface of the skin.  It helps the body to fight off external pathogens that you may come in contact with. Astragalus also houses what is call "upright qi" which is the energy in the body that supports upright posture and the correct position of the organs. Weak "upright qi" can lead to organ prolapse, slumping or slouching, and general feelings of fatigue.

Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination     a.k.a. Ginseng and Astragalus Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination has classically been called the "King of Combinations." It is a giant among classical tonic formulations. It is traditionally said to promote the production and circulation of Qi, support the digestive system, support nutrient assimilation, support the normal healthy functions of the immune system, and to strengthen muscles that help to support posture and the normal healthy position of the organs. It is also an excellent blood tonic. Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination is used as a tonic by anyone wishing to tonify or maintain a high level of Qi.  This is the classical Ginseng and Astragalus Combination used for many centuries in Asia. What distinguishes Dragon Herbs’ Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination from other brands is the quality of the herbs used to produce it and the production technology. ALL HERBS in China (and from most places) come in different grades based upon their variety, seed stock, growing source, growing conditions, care of the cultivators or collectors, and processing at various stages of the supply chain and during production. That’s a lot to consider. But Dragon Herbs does take ALL factors these into account in selecting our raw materials and in producing our herbal products.  Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination is so widely consumed in China that many domestic herb factories produce it. Most of this production uses low grade herbs for price reasons. Many of the peasants of China take Codonopsis and AstragalusCombination, so many factories produce it with very cheap materials so that it costs just pennies.  Dragon Herbs does not use low grade, less effective, raw materials for Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination or any of its products. Dragon Herbs identifies sources of the BEST raw material, the kind preferred in Shanghai or Hong Kong by those who know herbs and want the best. We use this premium material to produce this important formula.  Production technology also matters. Most factories just throw the herbs into a tank and cook the whole thing for a couple of hours, then they make a powdered extract of the tea using a lot of excipient (usually not natural). Dragon Herbs uses low temperature extraction using very pure water and no chemicals. We add the herbs carefully at incremental stages. Some of the herbs in Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination can only be cooked for a few minutes. These “short cook” herbs are cooked separately and carefully and added at the end. For example, the Dang Gui should not be cooked as long as some of the other herbs because of its high aromatic oil content. Aged Tangerine Peel and Fresh Ginger must be cooked for just for a few minutes at most because of their aromatic oil content. This is a true secret (revealed) of superior herbal production. One very important process that most factories skip involves the collection of aromatic oils from the tea. Real Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination has a sweet-spicy aroma. This is from the aromatic oils in the herbs. If the herbs are overcooked and the oils are allowed to evaporate, the true power of Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination cannot be achieved – even if good quality herbs are used. Since we use superb herbs to make this formula, the result is sublime. Dragon Herbs always processes its herbs using an “oil trap.” An oil trap is a sophisticated device connected to the extraction system. It captures evaporating aromatic oils and collects them in crystallized form. These collected essential oils are therefore not lost. They are added back into the extract at the end of the process. And this makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!* Traditional Functions: Tonifies Qi, ascends Yang, nurtures the Spleen, nourishes the blood.

Astragalus Advanced Super potent Astragaloside IV-rich extract Dragon Herbs Astragalus Advanced™ extract is made from premium grade Astragalus roots from Northern China and contains a full range of astragalosides (Astragalus saponins) and polysaccharides, as well as all the other constituents of Astragalus root.* It is widely acknowledged that the most important range of active constituents of Astragalus root extract are its astragalosides. Astragalosides are phytochemicals that support adaptability and immunological competence. Dragon Herbs Astragalus Advanced™ has been specially produced by a cutting edge technological process to contain approximately three times the amount of total astragalosides of typical Astragalus root extract produced for the American market. Other brands of Astragalus in the American market typically contain between 2-5 mg per capsule of total astragalosides. Dragon Herbs Astragalus Advanced contains no less than 25mg total astragalosides per capsule. Of the astragalosides, one stands out as the most formidable health-supporting agent: Astragaloside IV. Astragaloside IV has been actively researched for the past 20 years and continues to be the focus of intensive research. Typical Astragalus products in America contain 0.14 -1% Astragaloside IV. Astragalus Advanced contains 5% Astragaloside IV. Many studies have also demonstrated that the polysaccharides from Astragalus play a role in supporting immunological functions. Astragalus Advanced capsules contain over 100mg of Astragalus polysaccharides per capsule. Compare Dragon Herbs Astragalus Advanced capsules with other brands of Astragalus for total astragaloside and astragalus polysaccharide content.

Astragalus eeTee Astragalus Root ranks as one of the most potent health tonics in the world. Astragalus Membranaceus is used in traditional tonic herbalism to strengthen the primary energy of the body and all the metabolic, respiratory, and eliminative functions. Dragon Herbs FITT™ Astragalus Granules make a tea that has true Astragalus flavor and actions. Astragalus is rated as one of the world’s premier immune tonifying (regulating) substances and is considered to be a quintessential protective super tonic herb in the Orient. As an energizer, Astragalus is famed for its strengthening effects on the outside of the body, in particular to the musculature and skin. Astragalus has long been considered a major tonic for athletes and for those who work hard physically. It helps relieve fatigue and is used by athletes around the world for strength. Astragalus, like many of the major tonic herbs, has a very complex constituent profile. Primarily, the active constituents of Astragalus consist of triterpene glycosides, polysaccharides and flavonoids. Astragalus also contains numerous amino acids, trace elements and various other components. The primary active constituents of Astragalus, the triterpene glycosides, are saponins similar to the saponins in ginseng, though all of the Astragalus saponins (triterpene glycosides) have their own chemical identities. One particular astragaloside found naturally in Astragalus is known as Astragaloside IV. This saponin has been determined to be the most active health-positive constituent in Astragalus. It is believed that Astragaloside IV may be able to help protect telomeres and to prevent their deterioration over time due to stress and toxicity. Telomeres are chemical bindings at the end of our chromosomes that hold our DNA in place; the degeneration and loss of which has been associated with aging. Astragaloside IV has also been found to beneuroprotective to brain cells.  Hundreds of studies seem to support the potent immune modulating activities of Astragalus Root as well. The polysaccharides found in Astragalus are extremelypotent immune enhancers. These polysaccharides are similar to those found in Maitake, Reishi mushroom and other immune enhancing herbs. Astragalus also has significant anti-inflammatory action and has been show toimprove male fertility by improving sperm motility.  What Is F.I.T.T Technology And Why Is It Important? Dragon Herbs’ new Fingerprint Identical Transfer Technology™ (FITT™) is apatented green extraction technology of the 21st century. It is the most advanced commercial extraction technology in the world.  FITT™ is a proprietary process that utilizes mechanical forces to break the raw materials down to micron level. The materials are “shaken” loose at tremendous speed, resulting in instantaneous extraction of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble components from the raw material into the solvent.  FITT™ technology captures the original phyto-chemical profile (the fingerprint) of a botanical and transfers it safely and almost identically into the final extract, perfectly preserving the aroma, color and taste of the freshly collected botanical. The result is an instant granule that tastes and smells just like its original plant. The entire process is performed at a low to moderate temperature that never exceeds 40°C (104° F), thus eliminating the drawbacks of a heated extraction. With the entire process’s temperature controlled under 104° F, FITT™ extracts are really “raw” extracts. FITT™ extracts the raw constituents without damaging them in any way. In fact, far more constituents are released than are released by conventional extraction. What Are The Overall Benefits of FITT?With the extraction ratio usually exceeding 95%, you can enjoy virtually all of the health benefits of the botanicals without missing a beat. •The raw materials are processed to micron level for maximum extraction efficiency.•Starch and saccharides of low molecular weight can gelatinize and become cohesive under heat, preventing the effective release and extraction of active ingredients.•For example, our lab tests show that 95-98% of green tea’s active ingredients, such as the polyphenols - EGCG, ECG, EGC - and caffeine are safely transferred to the extract powder, significantly higher than the 28-38% in home brewed teas. That’s almost 3 times as much!•FITT™ powder extracts dissolve completely, making a clear beverage in seconds, even at room temperature.•You can now truly enjoy premium tonic elixirs with ease! Just add, shake or stir and drink. It is that easy.•No mess, no clean up, and nothing to throw away. eeTee™ takes all the hassle out of making a first class cup or bottle of tonic elixir.   Is FITT Ecological? FITT is a very green technology. FITT™ technology uses 33% less energy than traditional extraction methods. FITT™ technology produces 1/20 the waste of home brewing, and about 1/7 the waste of the conventional extraction. This means FITT™ technology needs much less raw materials to produce the same result, hence a much smaller carbon footprint. TZero waste of the production residue. With FITT™, the particles of the residue reach micron level, which makes them perfect animal feed or organic fertilizer. Most of our production residue is donated to local farms. Most of the production water is recycled and only clean, filtered water is discharged. eeTee™ instant granules made with FITT™ technology save you trouble while saving the earth. eeTee granules are ready to serve within seconds. No more shipping water or heavy glass bottles. No more plastic bottles filling up the landfill. Very “GREEN” teas indeed! Less raw materials, less energy consumption, recycled production water and automation of the entire production flow all contribute to a lower cost to produce the same amount of active ingredients, making FITT™ products very economical and affordable.  Why Not Traditional Heat Extraction?When a botanical is boiled in water or extracted in alcohol or other solvent, the constituents of the botanical are released from the fiber that contains them and are dissolved into the liquid medium. The resulting “tea,” or paste is highly assimilable. This is much easier to consume because the material has been “reduced” to a much smaller volume and yet the potency is higher. Without the extraction, the body would have to do a digestive “extraction” of the materials bound to the fiber, adding much stress to our GI tract. Since we do not have the digestive tract of a ruminate, this “extraction” method is not very effective, nor is it efficient. BUT, the downsides of traditional heated extraction include: It is not suitable for extracting heat sensitive substances such as protein, amino acids, essential oils and enzymes. Starch and saccharides of low molecular weight can gelatinize and become cohesive under heat, preventing the effective release and extraction of active ingredients. Substances with no or few pharmacological effects can be released simultaneously. The heated process accelerates the oxidation process. It can result in polymerization and decomposition of active constituents.
