Something drew him to dig up its roots — a common practice in traditional Chinese herbalism — and upon a hermit's suggestion, he prepared them according to Daoist herbal principles and began consuming them regularly. Within weeks his vitality began to return. In time, his hair — long gray — shifted to a rich, lustrous black. He went on to live, by some accounts, past 160 years.

Known in the West as Fo-Ti, Polygonum multiflorum has been classified among the superior tonic herbs of TCM for over a thousand years — used to nourish the blood, support kidney Jing (vital essence), and as one of the most celebrated longevity tonics in the Chinese herbal tradition. Please read all safety information carefully before use — Fo-Ti carries meaningful hepatotoxicity risks that require informed, careful use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredient\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Pure Fo-Ti Root (\u003cem\u003ePolygonum multiflorum\u003c\/em\u003e) — He Shou Wu — 500mg per capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe root of the Polygonum multiflorum vine — a climbing plant native to central and southern China. Fo-Ti root is naturally rich in stilbene glycosides (particularly 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside, also called THSG), anthraquinones (including emodin and chrysophanol), phospholipids, tannins, and naturally occurring iron and zinc. THSG is the primary studied active compound and the focus of significant research interest for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. Traditional preparation involves processing the root with black bean soup — a step that reduces anthraquinone content and is believed to reduce hepatotoxicity risk.
