Astragalus Root Extract & Astragaloside IV: Comprehensive Guide to Standardized Botanical and High-Purity Saponin for Advanced Formulations

Introduction

Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bunge, a perennial plant belonging to the Fabaceae family, has been used in traditional wellness practices for centuries. Astragaloside IV (CAS 84687-43-4) stands out as the most extensively studied tetracyclic triterpenoid saponin, recognized as a key quality indicator for Astragalus root extracts in pharmacopoeial standards. At Dielegance Biotech, we offer two complementary grades to meet diverse formulation needs: Astragalus Root Extract standardized to 5% Astragaloside IV and High-Purity Astragaloside IV 98%.
