Organic Astragalus Root

Organic Astragalus Root is the dried root of the Astragalus plant, a member of the pea family. It is native to Asia and North America. The root is typically harvested and dried for use in food and traditional medicine.

Astragalus root is most commonly found in teas and herbal blends, often added for its perceived health benefits and earthy flavor. It is not typically used as a functional ingredient like a sweetener or preservative.

Astragalus root is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Scientific evidence supporting specific health claims for astragalus is limited and often based on traditional use rather than robust clinical trials. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not established specific guidelines for its use in food. More research is needed to confirm its effects at typical dietary intakes.
