Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus), is a prominent herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting immunity, digestion, and healthy blood sugar levels.
In Western herbalism, Astragalus is considered beneficial for supporting metabolism and digestion. Research has shown that this tonifying herb can also help to modulate the immune system.
Today, due to a drastic change in our diets, lifestyles, and reduced physical activity, many people are experiencing insulin and blood sugar swings, common in Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome is a general term to describe a variety of pre-diabetic symptoms associated with a compromised metabolism.
These symptoms include increased waist circumference, hypertension, elevated fasting glucose levels, and insulin resistance, among others. By incorporating supportive herbs like Astragalus with mild exercise and dietary changes (such as eating low glycemic foods and less processed products), many people can maintain a healthy metabolism.
EcoNugenics embraces the natural and healthful benefits of Astragalus root.
It is utilized in our Integrative Metabolic Formula, in conjunction with other time-tested herbs, such as Gymnema leaf and cinnamon, known for enhancing metabolism and promoting healthy insulin responses.
Alpha-lipoic Acid and L-Taurine are also included in the formula to promote healthy insulin sensitivity. In addition, the formula contains Chromium, a mineral that may help reduce sugar and carbohydrate cravings. Chromium also helps insulin transport glucose into cells, where it can be used for energy.
