Astragalus complanatus seed

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Astragalus complanatus seeds contain flavonoids, saponins, polysaccharides, and other constituents. Cell and animal studies have explored antioxidant, immune, reproductive, hepatic, and metabolic pathways, but evidence remains preclinical and preparation-dependent.

Direct human clinical evidence for a standardized single material is sparse. Dose, interactions, reproductive safety, quality control, and long-term effects require further controlled study.

Traditional Function

In traditional Chinese medicine, Astragalus Complanatus Seed is sweet and warm. It is used to tonify the Liver and Kidney, secure essence, improve vision, and support weakness associated with deficiency. Its use is interpreted according to authenticated species and pattern.
