Astragalus

Also called astragalus membranaceus, huang qi, cycloastragenol, astragaloside iv.

The best price per 500 mg and per month, form by form, across 2 UK retailers, and where to buy it cheapest. A unit for comparing, not advice.

Comparing astragalus

We count the astragalus extract a label states per serving, whatever the pack size or the serving size, so every product sits on one scale. Products that combine astragalus with other ingredients are listed separately, because their price buys more than astragalus extract. 500 mg is our unit for comparing prices, not a dose to take: the label’s directions and a pharmacist decide that.

How we work out these prices

We count the weight of extract per serving. Where a label quotes a “whole herb equivalent” (for example “5,000 mg from a 10:1 extract”), we use the actual extract weight. Branded, standardised extracts are compared separately from unbranded ones.

Why is a product I have seen in the shops missing?

If a retailer’s listing does not let us confirm the amount per serving, the pack size or the form, we do not guess and we do not show the product. It appears once its label has been read and confirmed.

How up to date are the prices?

Prices on this page were last checked on 20 October 2026. Every table shows the date its prices were checked. Always confirm the price on the retailer’s site before buying.

Do retailers pay to appear higher?

No. We earn a commission when you buy through our links, but the order is set only by price per dose. No retailer or brand can pay for position.
