Top Ingredients and Traditional Wisdom
Toeah Shou Wu tablets contain a single active ingredient: the dried root tuber of Polygonum multiflorum, often referred to as Fo-Ti or He Shou Wu. In traditional Chinese medicine, this root is prized as a longevity and vitality tonic. It contains bioactive compounds like anthraquinones (including emodin and physcion), stilbenes (such as resveratrol), and polysaccharides.
