Shou Wu extract is the dried or cured root of a
twining vine in the knotweed family, found
throughout China, Japan and Korea.
In traditional oriental medicine practice,
the Shou Wu extract strengthens the blood, invigorates the
liver and kidneys, and supplements vital energy (qi).
Shou Wu extract is one of the most widely used tonics in
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which employs it to
enhance longevity, increase vigor, and promote fertility. It
is also an ingredient in TCM formulas for premature gray
hair, low back pain, low energy, and other conditions.
Shou Wu extract is one of the key ingredients in
Reminex grey hair formula and it
helps to expedite the process of restoring grey hair and
premature white hair to their original hair color.
