In modern research, Astragalus membranaceus can enhance immune function, protect liver, diuresis, anti-aging, anti stress, reduce blood pressure and have a wide range of antibacterial effects, which can inhibit virus reproduction and tumor growth. It can improve the cardiopulmonary function, strengthen the contractility of the heart, expand blood vessels, improve the blood circulation and nutrition of the skin. Astragalus has the function of inducing interferon and mobilizing immune function. Increase energy, resist fatigue, make mutation, inhibit osteoclast. Astragaloside is the main component of the traditional Chinese medicine "Huangqi oral liquid" and "Huangqi Injection".
