1:Cycloastragenol has the function of enhancing immunity, protecting the body from diseases;
2:Cycloastragenol contains antioxidants, which protect cells against damage caused by free radicals;
3:Cycloastragenol has the effect on lowering blood pressure, treating diabetes and protecting the liver;
4:Astragalus membranaceus is the only telomerase activator found recently. By increasing telomerase and delaying telomere shortening, Astragalus membranaceus is considered to be an anti-aging agent.
