Astragalus: New Anti-Aging Research Ep. 1237 APR 2025

This video explores a comprehensive review published in the journal Nutrients focusing on Astragalus membranaceus and its potential role in delaying aging. What's fascinating is the breadth of mechanisms discussed: the review highlights how active phytochemicals in Astragalus root – like specific polysaccharides, flavonoids, and saponins – exert powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-regulating effects. These properties are linked to protecting cells from damage and dysfunction associated with aging. The review specifically points to benefits for skin health, suggesting these compounds may help maintain skin condition and prevent tissue degeneration. Beyond the skin, the research surveyed indicates potential protective effects across multiple body systems – including the cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems – painting a picture of Astragalus as a multifaceted agent in promoting healthspan and potentially slowing the aging process at a cellular level.
