11. Astragalus Root: The Adaptogenic Defender
Astragalus root, a staple in traditional Chinese medicine, is a powerful adaptogenic herb with immune-modulating effects. This remarkable root contains complex molecules such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins that help strengthen the immune system. Studies have shown that astragalus can enhance antibody production, increase white blood cell production, and activate natural killer cells. The adaptogenic properties of astragalus help the body maintain equilibrium under stress, which is essential for optimal immune system function. Astragalus is particularly valuable because it supports a robust immune system while also providing antioxidant protection. Together, these qualities make it an excellent choice for long-term immune system maintenance and support.
