Astragalus eeTee

Astragalus Root ranks as one of the most potent health tonics in the world. Astragalus Membranaceus is used in traditional tonic herbalism to strengthen the primary energy of the body and all the metabolic, respiratory, and eliminative functions. Dragon Herbs FITT™ Astragalus Granules make a tea that has true Astragalus flavor and actions.

Astragalus is rated as one of the world’s premier immune tonifying (regulating) substances and is considered to be a quintessential protective super tonic herb in the Orient.

As an energizer, Astragalus is famed for its strengthening effects on the outside of the body, in particular to the musculature and skin. Astragalus has long been considered a major tonic for athletes and for those who work hard physically. It helps relieve fatigue and is used by athletes around the world for strength.

Astragalus, like many of the major tonic herbs, has a very complex constituent profile. Primarily, the active constituents of Astragalus consist of triterpene glycosides, polysaccharides and flavonoids. Astragalus also contains numerous amino acids, trace elements and various other components.

The primary active constituents of Astragalus, the triterpene glycosides, are saponins similar to the saponins in ginseng, though all of the Astragalus saponins (triterpene glycosides) have their own chemical identities.

One particular astragaloside found naturally in Astragalus is known as Astragaloside IV. This saponin has been determined to be the most active health-positive constituent in Astragalus. It is believed that Astragaloside IV may be able to help protect telomeres and to prevent their deterioration over time due to stress and toxicity. Telomeres are chemical bindings at the end of our chromosomes that hold our DNA in place; the degeneration and loss of which has been associated with aging. Astragaloside IV has also been found to beneuroprotective to brain cells. 
 
Hundreds of studies seem to support the potent immune modulating activities of Astragalus Root as well. The polysaccharides found in Astragalus are extremelypotent immune enhancers. These polysaccharides are similar to those found in Maitake, Reishi mushroom and other immune enhancing herbs.

Astragalus also has significant anti-inflammatory action and has been show toimprove male fertility by improving sperm motility.

 
What Is F.I.T.T Technology And Why Is It Important?
Dragon Herbs’ new Fingerprint Identical Transfer Technology™ (FITT™) is apatented green extraction technology of the 21st century. It is the most advanced commercial extraction technology in the world. 
 
FITT™ is a proprietary process that utilizes mechanical forces to break the raw materials down to micron level. The materials are “shaken” loose at tremendous speed, resulting in instantaneous extraction of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble components from the raw material into the solvent. 
 
FITT™ technology captures the original phyto-chemical profile (the fingerprint) of a botanical and transfers it safely and almost identically into the final extract, perfectly preserving the aroma, color and taste of the freshly collected botanical. The result is an instant granule that tastes and smells just like its original plant.
 
The entire process is performed at a low to moderate temperature that never exceeds 40°C (104° F), thus eliminating the drawbacks of a heated extraction. With the entire process’s temperature controlled under 104° F, FITT™ extracts are really “raw” extracts. FITT™ extracts the raw constituents without damaging them in any way. In fact, far more constituents are released than are released by conventional extraction.
 
What Are The Overall Benefits of FITT?
With the extraction ratio usually exceeding 95%, you can enjoy virtually all of the health benefits of the botanicals without missing a beat. 

•The raw materials are processed to micron level for maximum extraction efficiency.
•Starch and saccharides of low molecular weight can gelatinize and become cohesive under heat, preventing the effective release and extraction of active ingredients.
•For example, our lab tests show that 95-98% of green tea’s active ingredients, such as the polyphenols - EGCG, ECG, EGC - and caffeine are safely transferred to the extract powder, significantly higher than the 28-38% in home brewed teas. That’s almost 3 times as much!
•FITT™ powder extracts dissolve completely, making a clear beverage in seconds, even at room temperature.
•You can now truly enjoy premium tonic elixirs with ease! Just add, shake or stir and drink. It is that easy.
•No mess, no clean up, and nothing to throw away. eeTee™ takes all the hassle out of making a first class cup or bottle of tonic elixir.
 
Is FITT Ecological?
  • FITT is a very green technology.
  • FITT™ technology uses 33% less energy than traditional extraction methods.
  • FITT™ technology produces 1/20 the waste of home brewing, and about 1/7 the waste of the conventional extraction. This means FITT™ technology needs much less raw materials to produce the same result, hence a much smaller carbon footprint.
  • TZero waste of the production residue. With FITT™, the particles of the residue reach micron level, which makes them perfect animal feed or organic fertilizer. Most of our production residue is donated to local farms.
  • Most of the production water is recycled and only clean, filtered water is discharged.
  • eeTee™ instant granules made with FITT™ technology save you trouble while saving the earth. eeTee granules are ready to serve within seconds. No more shipping water or heavy glass bottles. No more plastic bottles filling up the landfill. Very “GREEN” teas indeed!
  • Less raw materials, less energy consumption, recycled production water and automation of the entire production flow all contribute to a lower cost to produce the same amount of active ingredients, making FITT™ products very economical and affordable.
 
Why Not Traditional Heat Extraction?
When a botanical is boiled in water or extracted in alcohol or other solvent, the constituents of the botanical are released from the fiber that contains them and are dissolved into the liquid medium. The resulting “tea,” or paste is highly assimilable. This is much easier to consume because the material has been “reduced” to a much smaller volume and yet the potency is higher. Without the extraction, the body would have to do a digestive “extraction” of the materials bound to the fiber, adding much stress to our GI tract. Since we do not have the digestive tract of a ruminate, this “extraction” method is not very effective, nor is it efficient.

BUT, the downsides of traditional heated extraction include:
  • It is not suitable for extracting heat sensitive substances such as protein, amino acids, essential oils and enzymes.
  • Starch and saccharides of low molecular weight can gelatinize and become cohesive under heat, preventing the effective release and extraction of active ingredients.
  • Substances with no or few pharmacological effects can be released simultaneously.
  • The heated process accelerates the oxidation process.
  • It can result in polymerization and decomposition of active constituents.
