Research has shown that astragalus facilitates the activity of macrophages (immune cells that ingest foreign invaders); enhances interferon production and the secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF); increases natural killer (NK) cell and T-cell activity; stimulates antibody production; increases levels of immunoglobulins; and potentiates other antiviral mechanisms.Astragalus

Astragalus is commonly used to help people combat the side effects of chemotherapy.
