A Super Supplement you should know about…
Astralgus Root!
Astralgus
root is used traditionally in Chinese medicine, as an adaptogen, it is a tonic
for many conditions, physical and emotional.
Astralgus root has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory
qualities which give it a broad range of therapeutic uses from heart and liver
disease to common colds and allergies.
Astralgus
Root contains three components that give the plant its potency; saponins,
flavonoids and polysaccharides.
According to studies
posted at Phytochemistry Reviews, at www.ncbi.nlm.gov,
saponins were toxic to a wide range of c_a_n_c_e_r cells, including leukemia,
melanoma, renal, prostate and breast. A
study by Tian et al. 2009, showed significant effects against glioblastoma, the
most common type of brain c_a_n_c_e_r.
However, normal brain tissue was unaffected.
Flavonoids help cells
communicate effectively. Posted on NCBI, Yao et al. 2004, stated, “Many
flavonoids are shown to have antioxidative, free-radical scavenging capacity,
coronary heart disease prevention, and antic_a_n_c_e_r activity, while some
flavonoids exhibit potential for anti-human immunodeficiency virus functions.” Fruits,
vegetables, tea and wine (yay!) are the main sources of flavonoids in the human
diet.
According to Misurcova
et al. 2012, they found that polysaccharides, “exhibit immunomodulatory (means
having an effect on the immune system), antitumor (inhibiting the growth of
tumors), antithrombotic (reduces the formation of blood clots), anticoagulant (blood
thinners), antimutagenic (protects DNA from mutation), anti-inflammatory (reduces
swelling), antimicrobial (kills microorganisms) and antiviral (kills viruses)
activities including anti-HIV infection, HERPES and hepatitis viruses.” Polysaccharides are found in sea algae, a
source of bioactive natural compounds.
Sea algae is an important source of many nutrients and dietary fiber.

As always, this is not medical advice, it is for informational purposes only. Consult with your doctor for any and all medical issues especially if you are already taking any prescriptions for anticlotting or blood thinning. Also do not take if you are on corticosteroids as astralgus root interferes with how this medicine works. One more word of warning, because it stimulates the immune system, do not take if you have had an organ transplant.
