Medicines (Rx)
A giant leap forward for botanical drug development
In 2010, Astragalus Polysaccharides Injection became the first plant-based medicine to gain regulatory approval in Taiwan. This pivotal moment in PhytoHealth's journey was the culmination of two decades of meticulous research. Our dedicated team successfully isolated the potent ingredients from the Astragalus plant using our advanced rAPS® Tech purification technology. This breakthrough reshaped the way Western medicine views Astragalus.
Historically, Traditional Chinese Medicine primarily utilized natural extracts that contained varying amounts of the key ingredients, making consistency and potency a challenge. However, our "Refined Astragalus Polysaccharide" stands out. Through advanced purification processes, we've elevated a traditional herbal remedy to a precise, high-quality injectable medicine familiar to Western healthcare. Thanks to these advancements, our plant-derived medicines are now offered in over 90% of medical centers across Taiwan.

Astragalus Polysaccharides 3.0: Advancing Botanical Medicine
Enhanced Activity | Elevated Purity | Optimized Absorption | Amplified Effects
Traditional methods of infusing Astragalus root slices often fall short of extracting all of the potent ingredients. Astragalus Polysaccharides 3.0, the latest advancement, not only optimizes the potential of Astragalus but has also been recognized as a licensed drug eligible for health insurance coverage.
Brewing and boiling Astragalus is insufficient for break down the root's tough cell walls, resulting in a suboptimal dissolution rate of its beneficial polysaccharides and reduced absorption. While certain commercial Astragalus extracts attempt to disrupt these walls, many lack advanced purification techniques. This absence of purification leads to a mixture of polysaccharide molecules, compromising both purity and content, thereby diminishing the potential benefits. Additionally, some manufacturing processes expose these vital components to excessive heat, potentially degrading their efficacy and failing to harness specific molecular weights beneficial for health.
Crucially a significant 90% of commercially available Astragalus root slices are from varieties with limited efficacy, rendering increased consumption ineffective.
In fact, brewing and cooking Astragalus slices at home often result in incomplete cell wall breakage and very low polysaccharide dissolution rates. Naturally, this leads to poor absorption! Even some Astragalus extracts or scientific traditional Chinese medicines undergo a cell wall breaking step, but lack advanced purification. The polysaccharide molecules are mixed with numerous components, leading to low purity and content, significantly diminishing their functionality. Furthermore, the process often involves excessively high temperatures, damaging active structures, and lacking precise techniques to obtain specific effective molecular weights.
Not to mention that 90% of the Astragalus slices available in the market are considered ineffective*, meaning consuming them, no matter how much, would be meaningless.
Hyper-evolution ❱ |
The refinement technology for injection allows for the precise acquisition of active molecules.
With persistent refinement and innovation, the refined Astragalus Polysaccharides have evolved beyond the scope of traditional herbal remedies and supplements, establishing themselves as the nation's pioneering botanical medicine injection. Progressively, each step refines and perfects this process.
When benchmarked against Astragalus slices, extracts, and concentrated traditional formulations, refined Astragalus Polysaccharides stand out uniquely. Their distinction is clear across multiple facets, including variety, composition, technological processes, and versatile applications.
