Astragalus is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine. The dried root of this herb is used in either tincture or capsule form. Astragalus is both an adaptogen, meaning it can help the body adapt to various stresses, and an antioxidant, meaning it can help the body fight free radicals. Because astragalus is often used in conjunction with other herbs, it has been difficult for researchers to pinpoint the exact benefits of the herb alone. There have been some research studies, however, that show that astragalus root extract may be beneficial to enhance the immune system, reduce chemotherapy side effects and reduce fatigue in athletes.
Reduction of Chemotherapy Side Effects
Astragalus was studied as a treatment for patients with immune systems suppressed as a result of chemotherapy. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, "In these studies, astragalus supplements have been shown to speed recovery and extend life expectancy." Astragalus has also been shown in animal studies to reverse the immune suppression that is a side effect of some chemotherapy drugs.
Reduction of Fatigue in Athletes
Herbal extracts containing astragalus may help athletes utilize oxygen, thereby reducing their fatigue. Because astragalus is an adaptogen, it can also help the body adapt to the physical stress brought on by exercise.
