Built from Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng, two herbs central to Traditional Chinese Medicine for millennia, AstraGin® was developed after years of research into the gut's nutrient transporter system.
The result is a patented, plant-based ingredient that helps the body get more out of everything else in the formula.
Most absorption ingredients stop at uptake. AstraGin® supports the structure doing the absorbing too, helping maintain a healthy gut lining and microbiome population.
AstraGin® supports the activity of key nutrient transporter proteins in the gut wall, the biological mechanisms your body uses to pull amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients from the digestive system into the bloodstream. In practical terms: the arginine in your pre-workout, the curcumin in your wellness blend, the amino acids in your protein formula, AstraGin® helps more of it actually get absorbed. This has been demonstrated in both preclinical studies and human clinical research, including a published human study showing a 17.3% increase in L-arginine absorption.
AstraGin® isn't just about what gets absorbed, it's about the structure doing the absorbing. Studies suggest AstraGin® helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier, supporting tight junctions and contributing to a healthy, resilient gut wall. Healthy gut lining, better function. Simple as that.
AstraGin® helps the beneficial bacteria in your gut thrive. Human studies show up to a fourfold increase in Faecalibacterium, one of the most important strains for gut health, compared to controls. New cell research shows it also supports Lactobacillus growth and adhesion. When the good guys win, your customers feel it.

If your formula contains creatine, amino acids, L-arginine, or BCAAs, AstraGin® helps more of each ingredient get absorbed and reach the muscles that need it. A clean-label addition that gives formulators a legitimate 'enhanced bioavailability' story.
Supports gut lining integrity and beneficial bacteria. Directly applicable to probiotic, prebiotic, and gut health formulations looking for evidence-based differentiation.
Demonstrated to improve absorption of notoriously hard-to-absorb nutrients like curcumin and certain fatty acids. Worth considering in any multi-nutrient or wellness focused formula.
Stable across multiple delivery formats: RTDs, gummies, stick packs, powders. AstraGin® has a clean sensory profile that doesn't fight the formula.
AstraGin® is the cornerstone of NuLiv Science's pet ingredient portfolio. The same gut health and absorption principles that make it valuable in human formulations apply directly to pet nutrition. See the Pet Nutrition solutions page for the full range.
