He Shou Wu: The Drunk Man’s Way to Health, Hair, and Virility

If you’ve lost your youthful vigor, potency, strength, and energy, try He Shou Wu.
If it worked for Mr. He, it could work for you!

The ancient legend says that he was old, single, gray, and drunk. He was drunk because he never had kids. He never had kids because he was never married. And he was never married because he was impotent.

He Shou Wu Root

As you can probably imagine, drinking probably didn’t help his situation, however, it was the drinking that changed his life forever.

His name was Mr. He and one evening, he wandered off into the woods in another drunken search for a place to nap. He finally stumbled upon a comfortable spot and drifted off into a dream about the family and life he wanted.

His wife was always happy to see him, especially after the kids were asleep. His many children were proud to call him bàba, or daddy. His hair was dark and long, showing the world that he was healthy, strong, and potent in his manhood.

Waking from his dream and still in a fog, Mr. He finds something on the ground that catches his eye. It was a root much like any other root, but this one looked like two people in the throes of passion.

Mr. He dug up the plant and took it back to his village. No one knew what this plant was, not even the village wise man. But the wise man told Mr. He that this plant found him and it was his destiny to consume it.

So Mr. He prepared the plant in the traditional ways and created a tonic. As he drank the tonic, he began to feel strength he hadn’t felt in decades. He continued with his routine of consuming the plant and eventually began to gain the health and strength he had dreamed of.

His body was regaining the youth and vitality it had lost so long ago. Eventually, his hair turned black again and his virility was stronger ever. He married a widow and fathered 19 children, living another 100 years beyond the day of that fateful discovery.

The herb was named after the man who discovered it and is now known as He Shou Wu, or Mr. He’s Black Hair.

A Chinese Fountain of Youth: He Shou Wu
Benefits, Science & Uses

Have you noticed that your youthful vigor is not what it once was? Have you felt out of balance, inside and out? It could be more than just getting older.

For centuries, people have used He Shou Wu to regain the healthy energy, balance, and vigor they had when they were young. It has long been touted as a way to get color the back in gray hair or even regrow hair! This is because He Shou Wu helps support kidney and liver function which can provide better blood flow to the scalp. Kidney health can also affect some knee and lower back pain.

In ancient Chinese tradition, hair and other visible factors of health reflect what’s going on inside the body, so healthy and beautiful hair and skin mean healthy internal organs. This is why He Shou Wu is one of the few herbs commonly used on its own rather than a mixture and recommended by emperors across generations.

He Shou Wu also contains many powerful antioxidants that help control and destroy DNA harming free-radicals which have been known to lead to more advanced aging of the skin and body.

As a matter of fact, hundreds of important compounds have been found in He Shou Wu that can lead to better organ and tissue health, memory, bad cholesterol, and more, giving you back the luster and potency of your youth. The principal constituent of the plant is 2,3,4′,5-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside [2] (called TSG for short).

Zinc, which is plentiful in this herb, can help lead to an increase in sperm levels, bringing back the vitality and potency of a younger man. Zinc can also help with immune system health, mental performance, and can even help combat Chronic Fatigue.

He Shou Wu on Gray Hair and Hair Loss

The name He Shou Wu has been translated as Mr. He’s Black Hair or Hairy Back. In either case, it has to do with hair, which may be one of this root’s most hoped-for benefits. You can see it worked for him in the story above.

Its principal effect in this arena seems to be in helping prevent or even restoring gray hair to its natural color. There are some studies with rats even showing regrowth from hair loss. [1][2] hair loss in man

In Chinese medicine, gray hair, especially premature, is an issue with Jing, which He Shou Wu can help restore.

Our opinion is that if you’re looking to combat gray hair or hair loss then give it a shot and see how it works for you.

10:1 Full-Spectrum Water Extraction of Prepared He Shou Wu Roots

He Shou Wu is known scientifically as Polygonum multiflorum. It is also well known as foti or fo-ti. While calling it fo-ti is technically inaccurate (originally referring to a completely different herb), the terms are now used interchangeably.

The herb is commercially found in two forms: raw root and prepared extract in powder or capsules and tablets.

Raw, the herb acts as a strong laxative and doesn’t provide many of the positive effects of the prepared version.

Our He Shou Wu root goes through the traditional preparation. The mature, 4-year old root is sliced then stewed in a black soybean juice for hours until the liquid is absorbed into the root, leaving a more potent and useful product than before. The preparation helps to decrease the levels of anthraquinones like emodin while increasing others like stilbenes that are present in the raw roots.

The prepared root then goes through a 10:1 reflux extraction process, meaning it takes 10 pounds of roots to make 1 pound of extract. In other words, it is potent!

The reflux extraction process involves crushing and stewing the prepared root in pure water and then distilling the essence filled liquid in order to arrive at an incredibly pure product. The process is done 3 times over the course of 4.5 hours to get the purest essence of the herb available. This essence is then filtered, further concentrated, and air dried to give you the highest quality and strongest extract you can get.

Here’s a visual overview of the entire process:

How do I Take He Shou Wu?

Our He Shou Wu extract is incredibly simple and versatile to use. Just mix ½ to 1 tsp into your morning and evening water, coffee, tea, smoothies, juices, etc. It’s very easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

You could also make a calming tea by stirring your dose of the powder into a cup of near boiling water. The hot water and nerve calming He Shou Wu make for a very relaxing moment.

Our He Shou Wu is Gluten Free and Vegan-Friendly, and does not contain GMOs, fillers, preservatives, added sugars, or any artificial flavors or colors. However, roughly 10% non-GMO corn maltodextrin is used to make this powdered extract.

Possible Side Effects He Shou Wu

He Shou Wu in its raw form is a powerful laxative and could potentially cause liver issues when over consumed. However, our product is made with the traditional preparation method (more below) and has been found to be protective of the liver.

He Shou Wu is typically safe to consume for relatively healthy adult men and women. Children and pregnant or breastfeeding women should not consume He Shou Wu to be on the safe side.

The most common, though rare, He Shou Wu side effects are slightly soft stools and mild gastrointestinal discomfort.

FAQ

Details about He Shou Wu:

What is he shou wu?
He shou wu comes from the roots of Polygonum multiflora that grow in central and southern China. It is then prepared in a special way (see below) in order to become the well-regarded herbal supplement that it is.
Is he shou wu the same as fo-ti?
Originally, calling he shou wu by the name of foti was a mistake, as foti referred to a different herb. This happened over a century ago. However, foti has been used synonymously with he shou wu since that time, so the answer is…sort of. We prefer to use the name he shou wu, rather than foti because of this problem.

Quality:

How to prepare or cook he shou wu?
He Shou Wu must be properly prepared in order to be most beneficial. This process involves cooking he shou wu roots along with black beans (typically in a proportion of 10 parts of roots to 1 part beans). This process helps to decrease the levels of antraquinones like emodin while increasing others like stilbenes that are present in the raw roots. Not all details are known. Our he shou wu extract has been prepared according to these directions.
What does unprepared he shou wu do?
It’s a strong laxative, that does not provide the tonic benefits that he shou wu does. We do not sell raw he shou wu.
Is your He Shou Wu Wildcrafted or Organic?
Unfortunately we have not been able to find a sustainable source of wildcrafted He shou wu yet. If we did it would likely be the most expensive thing we sell. Our He Shou Wu is farmed with no chemicals but is not certified organic.
What is the active constituent?
What is being investigated are the stilbenes, most notably (prepare for a long chemical name) the 2,3,5,4-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, sometimes referred to as TSB for short.
How old are your he shou wu roots?
At least four years old before harvesting.
Is there anything else in this extract powder?
Yes. In order to turn the liquid into powder a small amount (around 10%) of maltodextrin (derived from non-GMO corn) is used.

How to Take He Shou Wu:

How to make he shou wu tea?
If you’d like to make a tea out of our he shou wu, then bring water to a boil, pour it into a cup, then mix one-half to one teaspoon of our he shou wu extract into the water.
Can I mix he shou wu with coffee?
Yes, the flavor profile matches well, so this is a great combination. With the jing properties, he shou wu may be balancing out some of the coffee’s stimulating effects too.
Does he shou wu mix well into liquids?
Yes!
When to take he shou wu?
He shou wu is not stimulating and can be taken at any time, morning, noon or night.
Is Cycling He shou wu necessary?
This is not necessary. No. We only suggest you cycle anything that affects the endocrine system. He shou wu does not need to be cycled. Please consult with an herbalist for more information on how to take He shou wu. “}” data-sheets-userformat=”{“2″:771,”3”:{“1″:0},”4″:[null,2,14281427],”11″:4,”12″:0}”>. We only suggest you cycle anything that affects the endocrine system. He shou wu does not need to be cycled. Please consult with an herbalist for more information on how to take He shou wu.
Should I take he shou wu with food or on an empty stomach?
Either way is fine.

Effects:

What is he shou wu used for?
Primarily for it’s Jing effects which include anti-aging, hormonal support, immune support, anti-oxidation, as well as helping with hair.
How does he shou wu work?
“How the remedies act to cure disease we do not know and can not know, and it is of far less importance to us than the simple fact that they will cure.” – John Scudder MD in the Eclectic Medical Journal

Of course, he shou wu can’t cure anything. But I share that quote because we do not know the details on how he shou wu works. There are lots of components are really not that much science on it as of yet. Please do see our references and main product page for more details though as some is available in this complex plant.

Does he shou wu really reverse gray hair?
The legend of he shou wu involves a gray-haired man, returning to its natural black color. One study of men taking he shou wu tincture (sorry we don’t have this available at this time) saw that 32 of the 36 subjects had positive results. However, this seems to be the only study.

As with all things it likely works for some people but no others. Why hair loses color is a complex subject and there are only theories as to how he shou wu may chemically help with this. If you’re going for this goal you may want to take larger doses of he shou wu, as well as look at other lifestyle changes.

How do I use He Shou Wu for hair loss?
Similarly to restoring hair color, he shou wu also has a reputation for fighting hair loss. A couple of rat studies have shown this to be the case. As before, it likely works for some but not others, and if you’re going for it you’ll want to do a larger dose, like a tablespoon per day.
Is He Shou Wu warming or cooling?
He shou wu is slightly warming.
Is he shou wu estrogenic or androgenic?
There are hormone-like compounds in he shou wu, which certainly interacts on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. It is believed to have some compounds that are closely structured to estrogen, but that doesn’t mean it is necessarily estrogenic. It does not have estrogen or testosterone itself. Yet it appears to have some dual-direction activity that can support adrenal and sex hormones through indirect means. Again, not all the details are known.

Side Effects and Contraindications:

Is he shou wu safe?
Prepared He Shou Wu is extremely safe. In Lethal Dose 50 tests in rats, there were found to be no deaths even with massive amounts.
Are there any side effects?
A few people find mild gastrointestinal disturbances with he shou wu. Try lowering the dose and/or eating along with food to help with this.
Is he shou wu safe during pregnancy or when breastfeeding?
He shou wu is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Is he shou wu safe for kids?
Probably, but generally kids shouldn’t need help with the things that he shou wu provides. There are better herbs to use for children.
Does he shou wu cause liver issues?
There have been a very few cases that link he shou wu to liver damage. This seems to be despite the fact that he shou wu is also hepato- or liver-protective. As with all things nothing works with everyone.

  7. Marcia George (verified owner) –

    I thought I’d give this a try to see what it might do with my falling hair. I was losing a significant amount every day. I’m a 68 year old woman and thought it would not be possible to fix this. My thinning hair was so obvious and I could easily see my scalp.
    I’ve been taking this herb now for around a month. I’m a bit tardy about remembering to take it twice a day, but I take a full teaspoon at least once daily.
    Happy to report that I am no longer shedding any hair. This is huge for me as I’ve been losing hair for several years now.
    I’m now waiting to see if my hair will regrow so I can grow it long again and be proud of my appearance.

  10. jlargemarge –

    He Shou Wu is simply the best of a dozen herbs I’ve purchased with Empire Herbs. My hair texture has returned , my beard is much thicker , and overall my hair has grown everywhere like crazy. Intially I could see my white hair turning the strands black in various spots which has given me back that salt \ pepper look again. I’ve been taking the tincture and will need to try the powder until tincture is available again. My skin looks great and I’ve just ordered the pearl powder for an added boost. I also take the Nettle root semi regularly and have seen the benefits with my kidney as I’ve had one kidney removed. A much stronger urine flow .

  13. Matthew Miracle (verified owner) –

    This must be my 4th or 5th time around with He Shou Wu over the past several years . An amazing product and I’m going to just make it a regular item now. Why? The legend and claims about minimizing gray hair are legit. Each time I’ve taken this, when I’ve finished the bag I can tell that I have less gray hair. I put it in coffee once or twice a day if I remember. I don’t understand all the bio mechanics of this, only that it must be very good on the kidneys and stress overall. If you have some gray hair you may want to try this. Who doesn’t want to defy age a little bit?. I read that there are some n-o enhancement qualities too so that’s another plus. Many good results from He Shou Wu.

    Another of the herbs from LE that I started using in late 2016. I bought it to help combat my gray hair, and it took it out like a Viking Bezerker! I really appreciate that effect, even though now I liken that effect to how much it’s helping support my liver. Apparently, it’s doing a fantastic job. Every time I have stopped using this herb, my hair has started graying and my widow’s peaks have returned, so I haven’t stopped using it for a while. I admit it’s nice to be one of those whom it helps for their hair.

    These products do make a difference as I take them on a rotating basis, one day one next day another. I do notice that when I wake up at night I do wake up more often with wood. Not full erections but not bad. I’m almost 80 so that may have something to do with it. I am in good health and take no drugs.

    This is the one product of the many I take form LEH that I will not let run out. I originally started to take this to see if would help with the grey/white hair color. Have to say i haven’t seen much on that front, however, my skin feels stronger. Before taking HSW my face would get really raw and red just from shaving and in less than 30 days after taking HSW that all stopped and my skin felt great and soft and no red patches. This alone is worth maintaining regular usage.

  21. Jasmin (verified owner) –

    Not the effects I’m looking for…

    Once or multiple times it gave me a boner after about 1 hour after taking it, awesome!

    I think that my facial hair grew faster and thicker and it made me a little bit hornier almost every time after I took it.

    It increased my energy, but it also relaxed me and calmed me down, a little bit, but really just a little tiny bit.

    I think that it increased my ejaculation amount.

    I think, that it even made my hair a little bit darker.

    I bought this for my sleep problems and for my anxiety, for my nervousness, for my anger and for my aggressiveness but unfortunately it did NOT improve my sleep, but it slightly improved the other things, but really just slightly.

    Working very well for me

  48. Patrick O’dell (verified owner) –

    Works really well, just wish I could figure out a good way to take it, it won’t mix in with hot coffee, it just globs up. So I take a teaspoon full in my mouth and drink fluids until I choke it down. Has to be a better way. A tincture maybe?

  49. Kurt P (verified owner) –

    Use it regularly. I’m pickier than most about quality and price.

    Some sources say the Foo Ti can not be taken long term because it affects the kidney and can be toxic. Do you know of any of this to be true?

  61. Michael Addison (verified owner) –

    Can’t pronounce it but I like it.

  62. Phil Lawson (verified owner) –

    This herb is remarkable! The sense of well being after the first day was unbelievable. Would highly recommend.

  63. KB (verified owner) –

    Product appears to have the effect and usage as advertised

  64. Kenneth Middleton Jr. (verified owner) –

    He Shou Wu is one of their best herbs. It takes the edge off of a potent herb like Tongkat Ali; for this reason, I like to consume a half a teaspoon when finished working out. Reason being is because I am quite enervated from having taken Tongkat Ali before working out. Between that and adrenalin, I am sometimes left feeling quite tingly.
    He Shou Wu also increases my libido I find.
    I like missing it with my coffee.

  65. Lewis Lentz (verified owner) –

    I highly recommend this product. Combined with the other herbs I use it is very powerful. I can definitely tell the difference if I don’t take it.

  66. Lewis Lentz (verified owner) –

    Excellent product. The quality of everything I have purchased from Lost Empire is top notch.

    I’ve been using He Shou Wu for about a year. The most prominent difference I notice is that my hair is much less grey. I also look a lot younger…less wrinkles. At 52 I’m not taking any prescription medications for any conditions. I believe He Shou Wu has contributed significantly to my overall good health from a physically youthful perspective.

  71. James Lunsford (verified owner) –

    I’ve been taking He shou Wei for about 6 months now and it only gets better over time! My widows peaks (high peaks run on both sides in my family) have receded and my gray hair is a thing of the past. Oh yeah, I’m just a couple of months shy of 58. I bought it because I was looking for more Jing as I had some aches in my kidney and knee areas. Gone! This herb does everything you promise. As usual.

    First of all – This website and these herbs have changed my life! I started taking He Shou wu about 2 weeks ago, I definitely feel the calmness of it, and I do think my beard hairs have lessened on the grey a bit. I currently taken Pine Pollen tincture, Ash tincture, Tongkat Ali powder, and really love the Shisandra berry! I was taking Androgel before this for low – T and couldnt bring myself to use chemicals every day. This also began after taking Cymbalta for 2 years, my sex drive went to flat line from that stuff. It’s been a slow ride but with these herbs and patience, sex drive has come back slowly and the He Shou wu feels like it even helps the anxiety disorder. I always read these reviews and am impressed by the replies and info given by Zane Christopher. If I could ask, is there any issue with taking all of these together that I mentioned? And does the He Shou wu need to be cycled at all? My only issue is I sometimes feel confused on the cycling…thank you in advance and thank you for all the healing from this website and products!

    Shialijit amd He Shou Wu powder
    First day taking these herbs I noticed a big difference. The Shialigit powder had me doing Yoga positions I have not been able to do for over a decade. and had so much energy I need to find somewhere to put it.
    I am retired age 66 and when I took the He Shou Wu powder I did it for the other things not the sexual aid; I did not expect it to work but wow it did. Time will only tell if my hair regrows.
    This now day two.

  74. esveeedp (verified owner) –

    He Shou Wu rocks. After 5 weeks of use, I am experiencing a much higher energy level, improved libido, and better sleep. People, this is the real deal.

  75. Anonymous –

    Looking to pickup some Ho Shu Wu from you guys. I have tried it in the past and has helped me with my low neurotransmitter levels thus raising my libido from nothing to hide your woman levels.

  76. Brandy (verified owner) –

    I feel great using this stuff…lots of physical energy and mental calmness! Also wonderful customer service when I have had very specific questions. I have recently been having knee problems and my recovery (through exercises per instruction of my chiropractor) was much faster than he (my chiro) anticipated. I don’t know if it is directly correlated to this, but having used it almost a month now, it seems quite a coincidence! Very happy. I will keep buying this from here as I trust the quality of products. Thank you!!

    • Zane Christopher –

      That is really nice to hear. Thank you, Brandy!

    Hi just started taking Phoenix today I hope this is just a light side effect Just a little lightheaded but I noticed the soreness in my back hasn’t been there today. Will keep taking the Phoenix to see you but result I have

  78. stephen (verified owner) –

    Just ordered this today! I am going to be taking it with Nettle Root extract in hopes to grow some more hair back. Ive tried a lot of stuff, always natural, so I figured i could try out some of these different herbs. Ill write another review if I see any benefits, not just hair growth. I am 27 years old and have also been dealing with some mild back pain for the last year or so. I have been seeing a chiropractor for about 7 months now and not much help. So we will see if these can help with that as well. I’m excited!

    • Zane Christopher –

      Let us know if it helps Stephen!

    I purchased the He Shou Wu because one of the claims was that it would restore your hair color. When I received the product, I used the suggested amount, applied it to my gray hair, and waited about half an hour before rinsing. Well, the gray hair was still there, with only a slight darkening that washed out the next time I showered. I tried again, this time doubling the dose and leaving the concoction in my hair for almost an hour. After rinsing, some of the gray was a bit darker, but this too washed out when I had a shower. My girlfriend suggested I try Just For Men, and so far it’s working a little better, but the taste is absolutely rancid.

    • Zane Christopher –

      Haha, not sure how I should respond to this one! Just For Men is always gonna taste worse then He Shou Wu but work better then the herb when applied to the head. Good combination though. The He Shou Wu has helped some but like with anything it doesn’t work for everyone. I would like to find a better source of it (higher quality) but there is always the issue of it becoming too expensive for most people to afford, a problem we are starting to encounter with other herbs we have upgraded to a better, more expensive source.

  80. TJ Aus (verified owner) –

    Early days but it feels like this is increasing strength in some way. Adding to my overall sense of wellbeing.

  81. jairo.r.rodriguez –

    This is absolutely the best quality I have seen of safe and processed He Shou Wu. This is such an amazing and powerful herb. Personally I have taken it twice, the first time, I was trying to become healthier and raise my immune. This second time I am taking it while I have become extroardinary with the use of other herbs. Interesting thing is that if you lift weights like I do, you will find that if you take it after your work out day in the evening when you are about to lie down, you will notice 45 mins later that your body goes into repair in a stronger and interesting manner. I could feel my muscles going into micro spasms. I also used to take Nettle root for a hormonal imbalance and I notice it because without it I used to break out from boosting my testosterone with other herbs but if I take the He Shou Wu, I get the same results and more. This is an amazing herb. My immune system is indestructible now. Everyone at my office has been sick and all I would get is a little tiredness and that’s it. Good Job on this extract. Absolutely amazing. .. I wonder how long is going to take for my hair to turn black and I plan to find out.

    • Zane Christopher –

      Thank you for such a strong review! I have not heard He Shou Wu helping in that way yet. Makes me want to get back on it. 😉

  82. Andy –

    I’ve just started using this and have really noticed the sedative effects within 5- 10 minutes of taking it. As other reviewers have said it makes me very calm but apart from that I’ve not felt anything else but its still early days.

  83. Christian –

    Powerful great stuff that is making my body feel better!

  84. Ryan –

    I’m a 38 year old male and been taking He Shou Wu twice a day for about a month. Here are a few things i’ve noticed: i stay very calm during the day at a stressful job. I have definitely noticed better more restful sleep. I dont own a scale but I feel like I have lost 5lbs. Oh, and there the other benefit of feeling ready to go at any moment if you get my drift. I was so convinced after a month that i ordered another 2 months supply. You cant go wrong with Lost Empire Herbs!

  85. Carlos –

    I love this He Shou Wu. Very little joint pain. Im actually able to get more of a full night’s sleep. I don’t feel sluggish like before. Im also taking Thor’s hammer along with lion’s Maine. It’s been 1 week already and I ordered some more. Theres hope for a productive enjoyable life.

  86. Carlos –

    I just recently stayed taking the He Shou Wu along with Lion’s Maine and Thor’s Hammer. I did notice within the first 24 hrs my lower back, joint pain had significantly reduced. I’m thankful for that. Its my 5th day of using the herbs. Im slowly just using 1/2 the dosage to get my system used to taking these herbs. My moods seem to be more peacful, not easily adjetated. I realize that it takes some time for the herbs to take its full efect, and everyone is different so I’m going to order some more to give myself and the herbs a chance. I’m doing a cleansing to help detoxify.

  87. Carlos –

    Forgot to mention in my previous review that I have what i eould describe as a night heat rash with hive like inflamations. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest pain, I must say the the itching at night has gone down to a 2. That is a pleasant welcomed surprise. Ive had this nighyly heat rash for well over a year.

  88. Cheryl Crawford –

    I have been taking this for around a month twice a day and feel amazing.
    I get amazing rest and wake up feeling refreshed. I have no stiffness when I wake up. A friend stopped by and told me it looks like I have lost 10 years off my age. That I am glowing and my eyes are so bright. Just feeling great! I haven’t noticed changes in my greying roots as of yet. I recently ordered 3 packs of He Shou Wu. Thank You!

  89. Spinna Dinna –

    It’s probably too early to tell for hair help to aid a bald spot in the upper top upper rear part of my head, however, I think what is noticeable , is that through each shower that I have taken, I have shed less hair progressively. It’s been about 2 -3 weeks of supplementing @ around 1.3-1.5 grams twice to thrice per day.

    My hair has been growing longer than ever in my life over the past year , however, the bald spot started to develop about 1.5-2 years ago . I began to get worried, or at least try to start addressing the situation. So, new hair or not, fact is that the drain has been having at least 1/4 of the hair that is usually left in the drain after the shower in my time b4 starting the herb. To be over detailed abs true, I wonder also if the facts of my testimony are slightly tainted, as in: if I am in fact shedding or letting loose less hair each shower, then does that also mean that some other hair may actually have a chance to go down the drain holes because the whole net loss shedding is lessening?

    Even if so , the drain has been the same, and at the end of a shower, I collect about 1/4 on the side compared what would be 4/4 on a normal shower. I have high hopes for the future. And really want to try to add other things to boost it’s effectiveness, such as possibly some MSM and horsetail grass, and to consume more raw vegetables throughout the day , even if in small amounts like my days of old.

    I took accidentally about 2-3 month long cycles of pro hormones “by accident” about 3 years ago , and even in that small amount and even if by accident, I wonder if hair loss was a side effect of those chemicals? If you guys know of any other simple things to boost the He Shou, then please advise, however, I am already strongly assuming that He Shou is the top anecdote for hair help, or the He Shou is backbone of what can help the hair either through re growth at best, stabilization better, and prevention of worsening conditions as good depending on ones chemistry and karma with overall herb and ur situation and needs versus wants.

    Also, all hair talk aside, I find it does offer a subtle empowering energy, even though subtle empowering is a bit oxymoronic, this stuff will offer aid to a sore body and sore spine. All in all, even if it doesn’t make my hair grow back totally immediately in that small bald spot, then I am currently thankful the He Shou is strengthening other hairs most likely , as I have definitely compared hair collected post shower b4 and after for these 3 weeks.

    Still trying still waiting for any noticeable results

  94. [email protected] –

    These products do make a difference as I take them on a rotating basis, one day one next day another. I do notice that when I wake up at night I do wake up more often with wood. Not full erections but not bad. I’m almost 80 so that may have something to do with it. I am in good health and take no drugs.

  95. [email protected] –

    Best He Shou Wu on the market.

  96. [email protected] –

    Great product!

    Another of the herbs from LE that I started using in late 2016. I bought it to help combat my gray hair, and it took it out like a Viking Bezerker! I really appreciate that effect, even though now I liken that effect to how much it’s helping support my liver. Apparently, it’s doing a fantastic job. Every time I have stopped using this herb, my hair has started graying and my widow’s peaks have returned, so I haven’t stopped using it for a while. I admit it’s nice to be one of those whom it helps for their hair.
