NOW Foods Astragalus 500 mg – 100 Capsules is a botanical food supplement containing Astragalus root extract (Astragalus membranaceus) in a convenient plant-based capsule format.
Each capsule provides 500 mg of Astragalus root extract, with the supplied product information stating that the extract is standardised to a minimum of 70% polysaccharides. Based on this standardisation, each capsule would provide approximately 350 mg of naturally occurring polysaccharides.
Astragalus has a long history of use in traditional Chinese herbal practice and is commonly included in modern adaptogen and wellness-focused supplementation routines. The straightforward single-herb formula makes it suitable for adults who prefer to supplement Astragalus separately rather than as part of a large multi-botanical blend.
The product uses a hypromellose cellulose capsule, making it suitable for people who prefer a non-gelatin capsule format.
Each container provides 100 capsules, with flexible manufacturer directions of 1 capsule up to 3 times daily.
