 Thanks for da reply!!! My husband thinks I need
To take astragulus to help build my immune system. Is anyone taking Astragulus and if so did you have any side effects?

Astragalus (milk vetch root) is a great herb for the immune system.  Its effects are on the adrenals, bone marrow increasing white blood cell counts, increasing antibody production, preventing pathogen binding to membranes,  increasing interferon, and stimulation of white blood cells.

As far as side effects there are virtually none.  The one area though where a person would have to be careful is in cases of autoimmunity due to the polysaccharides.  In lower concentrations it can help treat autoimmune conditions by supporting the adrenals.  In high doses though the polysaccharides can increase the destruction of tissues by increasing white blood cell activity.
