AstraGin is a proprietary all natural plant derived compound extracted from highly fractionated Panax Notoginseng and Astragulus membranaceus using a proprietary pharmaceutical extraction and processing technology. AstraGin is the first and only natural compound that has been demonstrated in virto, in vivo, and in human studies to significantly promote and improve the absorption of amino acids, glucose, and vitamins at the cellular level, i.e., greater amount of these nutrients are transported from the blood stream into cells, rather than floating in blood stream, for improved bioavailability. How AstraGin Works. The basic mode of action for Astragin is to increase the absorption of amino acids, glucose, and vitamins through the regulation and paralleled alteration on both the protein and mRNA expression levels of the nutrient transporter genes. The Specific Health Benefits of AstraGin. In vitro, in vivo, and human studies have demonstrated that AstraGin can significantly increase (up-regulate) or decrease (down-regulate0 the following specific bio markers: Increase the stead-state absorption rate of amino acids such as Arginine and Tryptophan by 66.7% and 52.5%. Increase vitamin absorption by 59% as studied with Folic Acid. Increase intestinal glucose absorption by 57% that is converted to glycogen in muscle cells. Increases ATP production by 18%. Helps support healthy blood glucose and insulin levels. Increase glycogen in muscle cells (24 hours after strenuous exercise) by 60%.
