AstraGinĀ® is a patented, 100% natural compound that is derived from Astragalus Root Extract. It is clinically proven to increase the absorption of many vital nutrientsāwhich weāll explore belowāas well as promote a healthy gut environment and healthy intestinal wall environment (where nutrient absorption takes place).Ā
Ā
As it pertains to promoting muscle healthāwhere AstraGinĀ® really shinesāa big part of maintaining that muscle health is taking the right balance of amino acids, branched-chain amino acids, and other nutrients. AstraGin helps the body more readily absorb amino acids and other nutrients.
Does AstraGinĀ® Help Improve Overall Health?
Fun fact:Ā 70% of your bodyāsĀ serotonin is produced in the gut, and virtually your entire immune system is housed in the gut, too. On top of this, nutrient absorption happens in the gut! Because of this, itās important to keep your gut health in tip top shape. More specifically, itās important to keep the microbiomeāthe healthy bacteria and organisms that live in your gutāhealthy and flourishing.Ā AstraGinĀ® helpsĀ with this by restoring the integrity of your gut wall and increasing the communication between the microbiome in your gut and your overall immune system. This leads to enhanced nutrient absorption in the digestive system and overall improved gut health.Ā
Ā
Ultimately, AstraGinĀ® helps enhance the absorption of essential amino acids necessary for overall gut and muscle health. ItĀ increasesĀ the rate of absorption of/by:
- Arginine: 67%
- Agmatine: 36%
- Ć-Alanine: 25%
- Citrulline: 45%
- Creatine: 33%
- Leucine: 58%
- Peptides: 41%
- Tryptophan: 53%
- Circumin: 92%
- Vitamins (such as folate): 50%
- Glucosamine: 23%
- ATP (in the liver): 18%
Ā
Instead of interfering with the bodyās natural absorption methods, AstraGinĀ® simplyĀ enhancesĀ what the body is already doing.
AstraGinĀ® and Protein Synthesis
In addition to helping your body absorb amino acids, it also improves overall protein synthesis in your musclesāespecially when itās added to protein! The mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) pathway is proven to be one of the most successful pathways to muscle growth, and leucine activates complex muscle-building pathways via mTOR. AstraGinĀ® is shown toĀ increaseĀ intestinal leucine absorption by 58% in just 15 minutes! Because of its ability to support your bodyās absorption of these essential amino acids, it can benefit your overall muscle synthesis and growth.Ā
