What is AstraGin™?

AstraGin™ is a patented, natural plant extract complex derived from Panax notoginseng (also known as Chinese ginseng) and Astragalus membranaceus (astragalus root). This combination is specifically formulated to enhance nutrient absorption in the intestines and increase the bioavailability of numerous vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active ingredients.

AstraGin™ is produced through a unique, standardized extraction process that concentrates the active saponins (ginsenosides and astragalosides). These active ingredients work at the cellular level in the small intestine, promoting the regeneration of the intestinal mucosa and the activation of certain transport proteins .

The result: more efficient absorption of nutrients and improved gut health – both crucial for energy, regeneration and performance .

How does AstraGin™ work in the body?

1. Improved nutrient absorption:
AstraGin™ stimulates the activity of so-called transporter proteins (e.g., SGLT1, GLUT4, CAT1) in the intestinal mucosa. These are responsible for transporting nutrients from the intestine into the bloodstream.
The absorption of the following substances is demonstrably improved :

  • Amino acids (e.g., arginine, leucine, tryptophan, citrulline )

  • Vitamins (e.g. B12, C, D )

  • Minerals (e.g. calcium, magnesium, iron )

  • Omega fatty acids and plant-based antioxidants

Studies show that AstraGin™ can increase amino acid absorption by up to 60% – making it particularly interesting for athletes and active people .

2. Supporting gut health:
The combination of ginsenosides and astragalosides promotes the regeneration of the intestinal mucosa and strengthens the tight junctions – the cell connections that seal the intestinal barrier.
This is how AstraGin™ can help:

  • To reduce inflammation in the intestines ,

  • to reduce intestinal permeability (leaky gut) ,

  • and to improve the absorption function of the intestine in the long term.

3. Promotion of energy metabolism:
Panax notoginseng contains ginsenosides , which increase ATP production in cells and improve mitochondrial activity . This leads to increased energy availability at the cellular level – especially during physical exertion.

4. Immunomodulatory effect:
Astragalus membranaceus acts as an adaptogen , strengthening the immune system and making the body more resistant to stress, exhaustion, and illness. It supports liver function and has an antioxidant effect by neutralizing free radicals.

5. Support of regeneration and protein biosynthesis:
Through the improved absorption of amino acids (especially leucine and arginine), AstraGin™ directly supports muscle regeneration and the building of lean muscle mass after training.

Benefits of AstraGin™

  • Increases nutrient absorption (amino acids, vitamins, minerals)

  • Improves gut health and strengthens the intestinal barrier.

  • Promotes energy production and cellular performance

  • Supports muscle building and regeneration

  • Improves the bioavailability of many supplements (e.g., BCAAs, creatine, omega-3, curcumin)

  • Strengthens the immune system and has an antioxidant effect

  • Increases the effectiveness of other dietary supplements

Recommended dosage and application

The usual dosage of AstraGin™ is 25–50 mg per day .
It is frequently used in multi-nutrient supplements, pre-workout formulas, amino acid and protein products to optimize their effectiveness.

AstraGin™ can be taken at any time of day – ideally, however, together with other nutrients whose absorption is to be improved.

Safety and compatibility

AstraGin™ is considered very safe and well-tolerated . It contains no stimulants, sugar, or artificial additives.
Clinical studies and toxicological tests show no negative side effects – even with long-term use.

Its use is not recommended in the following cases:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women (lack of study data),

  • Individuals with autoimmune diseases should only use this medication after consulting a doctor.

Conclusion

AstraGin™ is an innovative and scientifically researched combination of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus that supports the body in absorbing and utilizing nutrients more efficiently . By optimizing intestinal function, promoting energy production, and supporting the immune system, AstraGin™ contributes to improved performance, recovery, and overall health .

Especially for athletes, people with sensitive digestion or limited nutrient absorption, AstraGin™ is a useful addition to modern nutritional supplement concepts.
