Astragalus membranaceus is a pure natural product that people often eat. There is a folk saying that "drink astragalus soup often to prevent disease and protect health", which means that astragalus membranaceus decoction or water is often used instead of tea, which has a good function of disease prevention and health care. Modern medical research shows that Astragalus membranaceus has enhanced immune function, liver protection, diuresis, anti-aging, anti-stress, antihypertensive and a wide range of antibacterial effects.
Cycloastragenol, belonging to triterpenoid saponins, is mainly obtained from the hydrolysis of Astragaloside iv. Cycloastragenol is the only found telomerase activator, which can delay telomere shortening by increasing telomerase. Cycloastragenol is believed to have anti-aging effects.
