He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti
10:1 Concentrated Extract Powder - 2oz (56grams)
What is He Shou Wu Powder?
He shou wu, also known as fo-ti, is a tonic herb that naturally grows in the pristine mountainous regions of central and southern China. It is traditionally prepared by stewing the the tuberous polygonum multiflorum root in a black bean soup, and then grinding the dried product into a fine powder that is ready to use. This slow process creates a nutrient-rich powder that the body is more easily able to digest. The herb comes as a pure 10:1 extract, which means that ten pounds of he shou wu is concentrated into one pound of pure extract powder for a more potent dose per serving.
