The Herbs in the Formula

Fo-ti Also known as He Shou Wu in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is said to possess almost magical rejuvenating properties. The elderly use it to help maintain hair color, preserve youthfulness, and restore fertility and virility. Among the younger generation Fo-Ti is often used by athletes to support stamina and endurance and is suggested to shorten recovery time after a work out. It contains glycosides that account for the herb's use as an adaptogen, or herb used to improve general health and vitality. He shou wu roots contain compounds that support immune, nervous and hormonal systems and stimulate the endocrine system.

Saw Palmetto This is a common palm tree in the southeastern U.S. and its berries have been used for centuries by native American cultures both as food and as medicine. The first uses of the berries were as a nutritive tonic to improve strength and energy, vitality and youthful hair color. The berries contain fatty acids and sterols that interact with human hormones in a variety of ways, most particularly in preventing the conversion of testosterone into DHT resulting in its use for supporting prostate and hair health. Saw palmetto is now best known for its ability to promote prostate health and vigor, but was widely used in the past for breast health and enhancement in women

Nettle Widely used for preventing hair loss and encouraging health hair growth since baldness is related to increased levels of dihydrotestosterone. Other nutrients in the plant improve general health and beautiful, vibrant hair. Nettle root extracts are effective in inhibiting enzymes that inhibit hair growth as we age. Nettle is also an effective herb for seasonal allergies.
