Benefits of astragalus.

1. Adaptogenic Effects – Reduced Stress & Cortisol
Astragalus helps the body adapt to physical and mental stress, including intense training.
May help reduce elevated cortisol, which is catabolic and can hinder muscle growth and recovery.

2. Immune System Support
Hard training can suppress immunity—Astragalus boosts natural killer cell activity and white blood cell production.
Helps reduce the risk of getting sick during periods of heavy training or caloric deficit.

3. Cardiovascular & Endurance Support
Astragalus supports cardiovascular health by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Some studies suggest improved VO2 max and oxygen uptake, beneficial for endurance and recovery between sets.

4. Kidney & Liver Protection
Especially relevant for enhanced athletes or those using oral performance enhancers.
Astragalus has been shown to support kidney filtration and reduce proteinuria, and protect liver cells from oxidative stress.

5. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Reduces exercise-induced oxidative stress, which can accelerate recovery.
Helps manage DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) and inflammation post-training.

6. May Support Muscle Glucose Uptake
Emerging evidence suggests Astragalus may help regulate insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
This could aid nutrient partitioning—getting glucose into muscle cells post-workout instead of fat storage.
