Fo-Ti root extract is a concentrated form of Polygonum multiflorum, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. Healers typically cure or process the root to reduce its potential toxicity.
People take the extract to maintain natural hair color and skin vitality. Others use it for daily energy and to support healthy aging.
The extract delivers a more standardized amount of active compounds. Follow the product's dosing instructions and take it with food for better absorption.
Raw, uncured Fo-Ti has been linked to liver injury. Even processed forms carry risk, so use them cautiously and not for long stretches.
