Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs proudly offers a potent 20:1 Fo-Ti (Radix Polygoni Multiflori) Extract. The use of "Prepared" root results in an extract which is more effective. Fo-Ti (he shou wu) is the premiere longevity herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Twenty kilos of "Prepared" Fo-Ti root were utilized to produce one kilo of this powerful extract. The Fo-Ti Certificate of Analysis (COA) for this particular batch is shown above. Fo-Ti has a long history of use in Chinese Traditional Medicine to keep the balance of a healthy human body. In China, Fo-Ti is called "He shou wu", which means "black-haired Mr. He". This name refers to a legend, written around 813 A.D. by LiAo, about an old villager named Mr. He who took Fo-Ti and restored his black hair, youthful appearance and vitality. ***These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled on slow speed equipment and only pure, unadulterated herbal extract is contained in the capsules. There are no magnesium stearates, fillers, gelatin, silicates, gluten, corn, wheat, rice, yeast, starch, titanium dioxide, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives. Capsules produced with high speed equipment in herbal and dietary supplement "factories" generally contain several other ingredients, including powdered lubricants called STEARATES (which can greatly diminish an herb or supplement's absorption into the body). Check their labels! Barlowe also still bottles his products in glass as he believes chemical vapors can vent from plastic containers and contaminate the contents and that glass is better for the environment.
