Ingredient Spotlight: Astragalus and Rhina-MP – Nature’s Immune System Hero

When it comes to boosting immunity and staying healthy through the winter months, nature has gifted us some powerful allies. One of these is Astragalus, a root traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its immune-enhancing and adaptogenic properties. Modern research has taken this ancient remedy a step further, isolating its most potent compounds for maximum efficacy. One such breakthrough is Rhina-MP, a clinically studied extract of Astragalus, featured in Ki Immune Defence Extra.

Here, we’ll explore the science behind Astragalus and the clinically proven benefits of Rhina-MP.

What Is Astragalus?

Astragalus membranaceus, often referred to simply as Astragalus, is a perennial plant native to Asia. For centuries, its root has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it’s valued for promoting vitality and resilience. Today, Astragalus is recognised for its ability to modulate the immune system, making it an excellent choice for supporting the body during periods of stress or seasonal changes.

The Science Behind Rhina-MP

Rhina-MP is a proprietary bioavailable extract derived from Astragalus, specifically designed for its immunological benefits. This advanced formulation ensures a higher concentration of the active compounds—such as polysaccharides and saponins—responsible for Astragalus’s therapeutic effects.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Rhina-MP supports a balanced immune response by:

Enhancing Natural Killer (NK) Cell Activity
NK cells are a critical component of the innate immune system, acting as the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. A study published in Phytomedicine showed that Astragalus polysaccharides significantly increased NK cell activity, improving the body’s ability to fight off infections.
Modulating Cytokine Production
Inflammation is a necessary part of the immune response, but excessive inflammation can be harmful. Research has shown that Astragalus extracts like Rhina-MP can regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping to maintain a balanced immune system.
Supporting Adaptive Immunity

Adaptive immunity is how your body “remembers” pathogens and responds more effectively over time. A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that Astragalus compounds improve T-cell function, enhancing long-term immune resilience.

How Rhina-MP Works in Ki Immune Defence Extra

Ki Immune Defence Extra combines Rhina-MP with other scientifically validated ingredients like Olive Leaf Extract and Andrographis, creating a synergistic blend for comprehensive immune support. Together, these ingredients:

Reduce the duration and severity of colds and flu
