Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I take Astragalus for?

Astragalus is a "deep" immune tonic, meaning it works best when taken consistently over time. It is generally recommended for long-term use (several weeks to months) to build up the body's defenses, rather than for acute relief once you are already sick.

Can I take this while I have a fever?

In traditional herbal medicine, it is often advised to avoid taking tonifying herbs like Astragalus during an acute fever or infection. It is best used for prevention and recovery.

Is this safe for vegetarians?

Yes, these capsules are made from vegetable cellulose (hypromellose) and contain no animal-derived ingredients.

Does this help with fatigue?

Yes, Astragalus is highly regarded for its ability to tonify "Qi" (energy) and is frequently used to help those who feel chronically tired or depleted.

What is the "DHE" on the label?

DHE stands for Dried Herb Equivalent. Since these capsules use a 5:1 extract, each 250 mg capsule provides the same medicinal strength as 1250 mg of the raw dried root.
