Thank you!!!

I've ordered a few products from this company. I am new to herbs; however, the packaging is good and product seems good.I just started taking this today (12/20). I mixed the appropriate amount with my coffee. Did not taste it at all! I will update in about six months, once I can gauge whether or not this is working for me.Ready for an update?? I started taking this on Dec. 20. It is now two months later. And note, I didn't take it for three weeks bc I had a surgery. I am very impressed. I'll update after summer. But here is a photo taken a short while ago (before fo-ti). The two current pics are from 02/26...two months later.

1st time purchasing and had used about 5 times and the ziplock seal came unglued. Now, the bag can't be sealed. Not happy about it.

I really like the way this herb tastes. Fo-ti (or He Shou Wu) and Rehmannia are my two favorite tasting herbs and they both have similar functions, but this review will be about Fo-Ti.The taste is because the raw root is processed by cooking it in a broth of black soybeans. Someone discovered that this activates some of the beneficial qualities of the plant. This herb is essentially an adrenal tonic. It will support the kidneys, adrenal glands and libido. It is used by martial artists to help strengthen joints and build the bones. It is said to prevent or reverse hair greying and hair fall in men, but to notice any affect you would probably have to make serious dietary changes like cutting out alcohol, caffeine and high Omega-6 fat foods among other things.He shou wu has a cooling energy and is a good general rejuvenative herb for pitta or fire type constitutions. Find out your Ayurvedic constitution, it can be helpful!It is very unctious, thick and heavy, so if you have sluggish digestion or experience extra mucous when using this, you might have to use it only short term OR address some of the other things in you life that cause you mucus such as dairy, excessive wheat comsumption, meat, sugar, etc.I experienced the quality of this particular brand to be excellent.

I do feel the Fo ti helps my energy and clarity. I take a teeny bit (1/16th of a teaspoon) in a a mix of other herbs in the morning. I rotate herbs, so I have to change them up. There seems to be an easier time with stress while I'm taking this. I take it for the kidney supporting aspect. I didn't know about the nerve calming aspect of it.I forgot about the hair color restoring part of it's effects. There was about a quarter of my hair that had turned bright white over the last several years. Now I'm taking this fo -ti, as the hair has grown out, I notice it is coming in salt and pepper colored. That's cool. I took that as a sign that it's doing the unseen health benefits as well.I gave one less star for flavor, but that's not a problem because mixed in with other things it adds only a slight bitterness. Overall, I don't notice after a while.

Maybe I haven’t taken the product enough to know if it’s effective? The flavor and smell is a bit off but I mainly feel that it’s too pricey for a small bag. Wouldn’t order again.

Trying this product for improved hair quality.

Update: I'm not sure if my body adjusted to the dosage or what, but after a year or so, grey hairs started coming back (not a lot, so I can still pluck them out with a tweezer). I don't want to increase the dosage, so I think I will switch back to the full herb instead of the extract to see if that helps.I was using a different brand of Fo ti that was not an extact before trying this brand, and I had an occasional gray hair with the previous product.The serving size of this product is much larger than of the product I was taking before, so I may not have been taking enough of the previous product. This product's pricing, however, is very competitive to the previous product.Since using this product for a month, I don't have any gray hairs, and I'm very pleased with the results.
