About cycloastragenol and its intended use

Cycloastragenol is extracted from Astragalus trojanus, a perennial flowering shrub of the Fabaceae family （more commonly known as the legume, pea or bean family）。 Other species of Astragalus also contain cycloastragenol, particularly Astragalus membranaceus. Extracts from these species are available in food supplements in the European Union.
