How does NSI® Fo-Ti Root 1,220 mg work?

Fo-Ti (polygonum multiflorum) is a plant native to China that also grows extensively in Japan and Taiwan. The Chinese common name for fo-ti, he-shou-wu, was the name of a man from the Tang dynasty whose infertility was reportedly cured by fo-ti. His long life was also attributed to the tonic properties of the plant. The unprocessed root is sometimes called white fo-ti, while the processed root is known as red fo-ti. According to Chinese herbal medicine, the unprocessed root is used to relax the bowels and detoxify the blood, whereas the processed root is used to strengthen the blood, invigorate the kidneys and liver and increase overall vitality.

The major constituents of fo-ti are anthraquinones, lecithin, tannins and tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside. Anthraquinone is a compound that promotes a laxative effect, encouraging sound bowel movement. Lecithin supports healthy weight management, cardiovascular health and may enhance physical performance, endurance and energy. It may also contribute to healthy joints, cholesterol levels¹, hair and skin. Tannins are polyphenols, flavonoids known for their antioxidant activity that help protect the body from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside, the final major constituent found in fo-ti, may help to maintain sound memory function.²
