I used to take this herb a while back.. and now with the flu season upon us I found that if I take this herb religiously I won't suffer the ramifications of the colds and flu like I have in the past.It is absolutely an amazing product. As it not only helps to keep the flu and colds at bay, it also gives you an energy boost.

Great product for the price. Some other health food companies include this in their much more expensive products that cost over $100 for a month's supply.

By far, this was the best price I had seen online for the amount + mg you receive in this bottle. I started taking astragalus to help with building my immunities. I'm not one for pill popping or unnecessary chemicals in the body as I tend to lean toward a more holistic/homeopathic approach for my health.So when it comes to this product, I'm assuming it's working pretty good--in my circle of friends, everyone caught the flu this past winter, even relapsed, but me? I survived it all. Did not catch the flu once!!! In addition, to my surprise, I noticed when I took this on a daily basis, it helped regulate my menstrual cycle. At one point I discontinued taking it and my cycle was off. Once I got back on it, my cycle was back to normal again! Interesting!!!I don't use the recommended dose they suggest, only because I think that'd be too strong on my system. So I take only one pill per day, and that, alone, seems to be working some miracles. I'm so happy to have found this on Amazon, WITH FREE SHIPPING!!! I don't have to drive all the way to the health store nor wait until it's on sale. The price is fabulous as is!!!

not bad

Excellent product. Use for years for MS fatigue.

Ordered for first time and the capsules are almost entirely empty. For the price it's unacceptable. I would recommend another company for this product.

Noticed energy boost - which was very welcomed. Started taking it when exposed to a relative's respiratory/sore throat illness. Plan to take it on an as needed basis.
