Astragalus Root Extract
Astragalus membranaceus — root extract with over two millennia of documented use, standardised for astragaloside content, supplied for immune-support formulations.
One of the longest continuously documented herbs in use today.
Astragalus root has one of the longest continuously documented histories in Traditional Chinese Medicine — ranked among the fundamental herbs used for over two thousand years, traditionally positioned for vital-energy tonification and immune support. We supply standardised to 0.5–1% astragalosides.
Beyond its traditional use, astragaloside IV specifically has drawn significant modern research interest, giving this ingredient a genuinely dual traditional-and-contemporary positioning. Every batch carries a certificate of analysis confirming astragaloside content by HPLC. See Quality Assurance for the full testing process.
Where this extract typically gets used.
Immune-support formulas
The primary use case — frequently formulated into general immune-resilience stacks, often alongside Reishi or Astragalus-family blends.
Traditional-plus-research positioning
Its combination of deep TCM heritage and active modern research interest (astragaloside IV) suits formulations wanting both credibility angles.

Where it comes from, and how we hold that to a standard.
Trade buyers increasingly need to answer sourcing questions themselves — here's what we can tell you about this specific ingredient.
GMP-certified processing
Grown and processed at a GMP-certified facility in China, audited on our own schedule rather than taken on trust from a spec sheet — see Quality Assurance.
Traditional growing regions
Sourced from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, the regions most established for high-quality Astragalus cultivation, with generations of dedicated farming practice.
Long-term supplier relationships
We work with established processing partners on an ongoing basis rather than opportunistic spot-buying, which supports both batch-to-batch consistency and supply continuity.
Batch traceability
Every batch is traceable back to its processing facility and growing region — ask if you need this documented for your own supply-chain due diligence.

Astragalus Root, answered.
Astragalus is one of the fundamental herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine, documented in continuous use for over two thousand years. That depth of traditional use, combined with genuine modern research interest in astragaloside IV, gives it a formulation story that works for both traditional and evidence-based positioning.
Astragalus is studied specifically for immune-stimulating effects, which is different from the more general immune-modulating properties seen in some medicinal mushrooms. That stronger stimulating profile is exactly why it's not appropriate alongside immunosuppressant medication or for autoimmune conditions, where the effect would work against the intended treatment.
By HPLC, per batch, with the certificate of analysis showing the tested astragaloside percentage for the specific batch you're buying.
It follows the standard Starter tier from 1–10kg/month — see Wholesale & Trade Accounts for the full tier structure.
It's generally well tolerated, but its immune-stimulating properties mean genuine caution is needed alongside immunosuppressant medication or for autoimmune conditions — see the Safety & Risk Information above. This isn't medical advice.
