PREPARED HE SHOU WU EXTRACT POWDER (FO-TI)

Traditionally Prepared · 10:1 Extract · Prepared with Black Beans

He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), also widely known as Fo-Ti, is one of the best-known tonic herbs in traditional Chinese herbalism, with a history of traditional use stretching back centuries.

An important distinction exists between raw and traditionally prepared He Shou Wu. Our He Shou Wu is the prepared form, traditionally processed with black beans before being extracted and concentrated into a convenient 10:1 extract powder.

Deep, earthy and naturally distinctive in flavour, this is prepared He Shou Wu in a simple concentrated form — with no unnecessary fillers or additives.

WHY CHOOSE OUR HE SHOU WU?

  • Traditionally prepared He Shou Wu
  • Prepared with black beans
  • 10:1 concentrated extract
  • Also known as Fo-Ti
  • Fine extract powder for easy mixing
  • No unnecessary fillers or additives

WHAT IS HE SHOU WU?

He Shou Wu is the traditional Chinese name for the root of Polygonum multiflorum, a climbing plant with a long history within Chinese herbal traditions.

In the West, the herb is also commonly known as Fo-Ti, although He Shou Wu is its traditional Chinese name.

One of the most important distinctions when choosing He Shou Wu is whether the root is raw or prepared. These are not simply two names for the same finished ingredient.

Our product uses prepared He Shou Wu, traditionally processed with black beans before being made into a concentrated extract.

WHAT IS PREPARED HE SHOU WU?

Prepared He Shou Wu is traditionally known as Zhi He Shou Wu. The root undergoes a preparation process traditionally associated with black beans before being used as a prepared tonic herb.

This distinguishes it from raw He Shou Wu, which has not undergone the same traditional preparation.

Our prepared He Shou Wu is then extracted and concentrated into a 10:1 extract powder, providing a convenient alternative to preparing the traditional root yourself.

HOW TO USE HE SHOU WU EXTRACT POWDER

Suggested serving: approximately ½ teaspoon (1g).

Mix into warm water, tea, coffee, cacao, smoothies or another drink of your choice.

At a 1g serving, a 113g pouch provides approximately 113 servings.

He Shou Wu has a naturally deep, earthy flavour, so it pairs particularly well with cacao, coffee and other richer flavours.

A ROOT WITH A LONG TRADITION

WHAT IS HE SHOU WU?

He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) is a traditional Chinese herb made from the root of a climbing plant native to East Asia. It has been used within Chinese herbal traditions for centuries and remains one of the best-known traditional tonic herbs today.

In the West, He Shou Wu is also widely known as Fo-Ti, while the traditionally prepared form is known as Zhi He Shou Wu.

The distinction between raw and prepared He Shou Wu is important. Traditionally, the root is prepared with black beans, producing the prepared form used in our extract.

Our He Shou Wu follows this prepared tradition before being made into a convenient 10:1 concentrated extract powder.

Understanding He Shou Wu

Raw He Shou Wu vs Prepared He Shou Wu

He Shou Wu is traditionally encountered in two distinct forms: raw He Shou Wu and prepared He Shou Wu (Zhi He Shou Wu). The difference is not simply how the root is presented — the prepared form undergoes a traditional processing method before use.

Our extract is made from prepared He Shou Wu, traditionally processed with black beans before extraction.

FROM ROOT TO EXTRACT

HOW OUR PREPARED HE SHOU WU IS MADE

10:1

Our He Shou Wu begins with the root of Polygonum multiflorum. Before extraction, the root undergoes the traditional preparation associated with prepared He Shou Wu, using black beans.

This prepared root — traditionally known as Zhi He Shou Wu — then provides the starting botanical material for our concentrated extract.

The prepared material is extracted and concentrated into a 10:1 extract powder. A 10:1 extract ratio describes the relationship between the amount of starting material used and the resulting extract — approximately 10 parts of starting material to 1 part finished extract under the manufacturer's extraction specification.
