Fo-Ti has been a trusted herbal remedy for thousands of years. Since arriving in the West, researchers have been eagerly exploring its healing power.
Add one serving (1 scoop) to your favorite dish or drink for a nutritious boost.
Fo-Ti is legendary for fighting conditions of premature aging and is popular among natural healers for treating insomnia.
Fo-Ti, officially listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, is revered in Chinese Traditional Medicine. It has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions and shows promise as a kidney supporter, an anti-inflammatory, lipid reducer and sleep inducer. The Chinese have long considered Fo-Ti an anti-aging agent, motivating modern scientists to investigate its potential role in human longevity.
Fo-Ti is legendary in Asia as a tonic for hair restoration and regrowth. A 2011 study lends credibility to the folklore by reporting that topical application “promotes hair growth by inducing anagen (active growth) phase in resting hair follicles.”
Anti-inflammatories are our best allies in nature’s pharmacy. In the lab, clinicians have reported that, “Various natural products from Fo-Ti have been shown to safely suppress pro-inflammatory pathways and control inflammation-associated disease.”
In modern-day Taiwan, Fo-Ti is the most commonly prescribed single Chinese herb for insomnia. Prescription meds are so problematic and often ineffective, specialists are scouring the herbal horizon for alternatives. They’re not sleeping on Fo-Ti.
In Traditional Medicine, Fo Ti is a respected remedy. In lab tests, it has been shown to be bio-active. In vitro, it reveals anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antibacterial effects and is being studied for blood-building and neurological support.

This product did not come with a scoop. As it lists the serving size as a scoop, I have no idea how much to use.

Yo! I had to write a review… So I’ve been using this brand of fo ti for a couple weeks now. Everyday all day in my coffee I put it and it’s thick and concentrated and u know it’s the real deal! So, 2 days ago I was having trouble opening the lid (the powder was stuck in the crevices) and I ended up making a super big mess, one of the kind that u have to stop and let go, or be upset. I contacted the Company about it because I was a little hot about it, lol, but I i was just going to order another canister. Maaaaan I just had Amazon leave me another canister without me even ordering it! Wow! U guys did something to me, made me feel special by doing that. Thank u…. The stuff is official, plus the company that produces it has a special customer service thing going on!!!! Kudos!

Only giving this 4 stars as nowhere in the online text do they say product may have been processed in area where shellfish (amongst other common allergic agents) are packaged. My husband is very allergic to shellfish so I was unable to even consider giving this to him although I can still enjoy this product. I only discovered this when carefully reading the label on the container. They need to say this in the description of product on Amazon site.

Not many people are believers of traditional Chinese medicine, KOS did a great job with integrating it into their product. I got the Fo-Ti Root powder for the immune system. Smells great and goes well with their protein products. I highly recommend getting this and their protein and mixing it together. Not only are you getting the protein you need, but at the same time you are raising your immunity!

I purchased this product after reading that He Shou Wu could help restore hair thickness, as I recently started losing quite a bit of hair and it was considerably noticeable that it wasn’t as thick as it was before. I don’t know if my hair loss was due to stress or hormones, but it was enough to stress me out! I added one scoop to my smoothie every morning – it blends well and I cannot taste it in my drink. No adverse reaction on my stomach. After about 8 weeks of consistent use I went in for a haircut – and my hair dresser was concerned at how thin my hair seemed but also noticed NEW hair growth. Do I think it’s the KOS powder? I can’t say 100% but I’m definitely going to keep taking it.

This product has worked miracles for me. I have ms… so for anyone else who knows what this disease is like I am sure you are looking for relief. I strated taking this product a few weeks ago and couldn’t live without it. The amount of energy and focus I get from it are amazing. I add it to my coffee and it blends in easily and has no noticeable flavor over my coffee accouterments. Which by the way I would not have been able to remember how to spell that without this stuff. Yes yes yes.

I love the fact that it really doesn’t add to any flavor when I add it to my morning smoothies. I feel all around great

I mainly got this product to see if would help my facial nerve disorder. I have TN. Trigeminal neuralgia. It is know as the suicide pain and also the worst pain in the world. I was supposed to have surgery to try and help but my insurance wouldn’t cover my brain surgery. I am hoping that this product will help so I can quit taking 15 pills a day . I am very hopeful that it will. I have taken it for just a couple of days and I have had no flair ups.
