Pharmacology
Astragalus species contain several compounds with potential health benefits, especially for the lungs. Astragaloside reduces lung damage, airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, and it activates the anti-inflammatory pathway. Flavonoids improve lung function and protect against asthma and COPD. Triterpenoids show antiviral properties that are useful for lung health. Polysaccharides protect the lungs by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair. Isoflavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties too, and they protect against radiation-induced lung damage and reduce inflammation. Other components, such as amino acids, alkaloids and specific flavonoids, add to the beneficial effects of Astragalus on lung health.
