Fo-Ti Root Capsules | He Shou Wu | Polygonum Multiflorum | 500mg | Longevity, Hair & Vitality Wellness

100% Pure Fo-Ti Root - He Shou Wu - 500mg per Capsule - Traditional Chinese Jing & Longevity Herb - Short-Term Use Only - Zero Additives - Zero Fillers - Zero Binders

Available in 50, 100 & 500 Capsules

In 812 AD, according to ancient Daoist texts, a frail and elderly man named He Tianer fell asleep in the forest and awoke beside an unusually large vine. 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. The vine was named in his honor: He Shou Wu — "He's Black Hair." This is the founding legend of one of the most revered herbs in all of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 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.


Ingredient

  • 100% Pure Fo-Ti Root (Polygonum multiflorum) — He Shou Wu — 500mg per capsule
    The 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. Always use Fo-Ti under qualified healthcare provider guidance.

How to Use

Recommended Dosage: Take 1 capsule (500mg) two to three times daily, or as directed by a qualified healthcare provider — preferably one with training in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Always begin with the lowest dose. Do not use continuously for extended periods without healthcare provider guidance. Discontinue use at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery.


Traditional Wellness Uses

  • Longevity & Vitality Wellness Tonic — He Shou Wu is one of TCM's most revered longevity tonics, traditionally classified as a superior Jing-nourishing herb — supporting fundamental vital essence, overall vitality, and the body's natural aging processes as part of a sustained daily tonic practice.
  • Hair & Scalp Wellness Support — Fo-Ti has one of the longest and most culturally documented traditional associations with supporting healthy hair — rooted in the legendary story of He Tianer and referenced across centuries of Chinese herbal texts. Its naturally occurring zinc content and endocrine-harmonizing properties are believed to underlie this traditional reputation.
  • Blood-Building & Nutritive Wellness Support — Traditionally classified in TCM as a blood-nourishing herb, Fo-Ti's naturally occurring iron, zinc, and stilbene compounds have traditionally been associated with supporting healthy blood and overall nutritive wellness.
  • Adrenal & Kidney Jing Wellness Support — In TCM, Fo-Ti is a kidney Jing tonic — traditionally used to support healthy adrenal function, the body's natural stress response, and the deep vital energy the Daoist tradition associates with longevity and reproductive vitality.
  • Antioxidant & Neuroprotective Wellness Support — Fo-Ti's naturally occurring THSG stilbene compound has been studied for its antioxidant properties and relationship to the body's natural production of superoxide dismutase — one of the most potent naturally occurring antioxidant enzymes.
  • Immune & Cognitive Wellness Support — Traditionally associated with supporting healthy immune function and overall cognitive wellness as part of a sustained TCM tonic practice.
