Wild Crafted Fo-Ti Root Powder ~ 100% Premium Food Grade
Botanical name: Polygonum Multiflorum
Fo-ti root, also called Shou Wu Pian, is a perennial vine in the knotweed or buckwheat family that is native to China, where it has been used for thousands of years in anti-aging tonics. This use is largely attributed to the legend of Chung Yun, a Chinese herbalist who allegedly drank fo-ti tea every day and not only lived to be more than 250 years old but also had 24 wives.
Our fo-ti root is processed, which means that it has been cured by simmering in a black bean liquid. Processed fo-ti root contains carbohydrate-binding proteins called lectins, so-named from the Latin word legere because they select and attach to carbohydrates arrangements on cells and behave like antibodies, although they don’t generate allergy symptoms. The root also contains a number of anthraquinones, including emodin.
