About These Botanicals
This product is grown in an organic and regenerative fashion with as minimal use of insecticides, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides as possible, in certified organic fertilizer. The product is sourced food grade. It is not certified organic. Suitable for Kosher, Halaal and Hindi diets.

I wish that the expiry date was listed on the website as this Astragalus expires in September 2025 which is very soon when you are not using large quantities of the product. I have made capsules out of this Astragalus to take for health reasons and as such it is too soon to know if the product is working. I would have to do an update in 6 months when I have blood tests done. Otherwise no issues with the product; well packaged; quick delivery; good service from Essentially Natural.
Super happy with the astragalus. It's of high quality, and much more affordable than buying in capsule form.
This is my 3rd purchase, and now in bulk: product quality has been consistent over time and I'm satisfied with purchasing from this store. Astragalus is a great immune modulator, with anti-inflammatory properties. It tastes great - I use a teaspoon over my cereal every day.
