Nova Vitae Astragalus 1500mgVarious variants of this herb exist, but only a few have known phytotherapeutic effects.
One of these powerful variants is Astragalus Membranaceus. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is better known as "Huáng Qí".
In this case, the translation of the word "Huang" will likely be "yellow", referring to the yellow root of this plant.
The translation of the word "Qi" or "Chi" cannot be captured in a single word but can be described as: vital force, energy, or life.
A well-known Chinese emperor, Sheng-Nong, was an avid "user" of the root.
The Latin name for this herb is Astragalus membranaceus.
Many botanists will recognize this plant by its cheerful purple flowers, but its power lies not in the flowers but in the (yellow) root.
The root (or Radix (Lat.)) contains important phytotherapeutic substances such as:
- Flavonoids (the best known being Isoflavones)
- Triterpenoid saponin glycosides such as astragalosides
- Polysaccharides (astragaloglucans)
- Phytosterols: beta-sitosterol
