Fo-Ti Root: The Ancient Chinese Longevity Tonic for Hair, Vitality & Hormonal Balance

Fo-ti (Polygonum multiflorum), a revered Chinese herb, is famed for anti-aging and longevity. Processed root (red fo-ti) has higher medicinal value than unprocessed (white fo-ti). Taken as tea, tincture, capsules, or tonic powder.

Comprehensive Benefits
