Astragalus

Astragalus is a popular edible herb in traditional Chinese medicine. It is rich in medicinal components such as saponins, isoflavonoids, and polysaccharides, all of which have potent therapeutic qualities.

It is generally regarded as safe and has not been linked to liver damage. It may, however, interact with certain drugs. When administered alone or in conjunction with other herbs, rodent studies show that astragalus may help protect against fibrosis and high-fat diet-induced fatty liver. Because many herbs can cause liver damage and interact with common medications, you should always check with your healthcare provider before taking any herbal supplement, especially if you have a condition that affects the liver.
