\r\n \r\n Hi,
\r\n
\r\nI\'m wondering if anyone has experience with Fo-Ti supplements? I\'ve researched that this vitamin supplement from a root helps with kidney and liver functions, reverses the aging process, is an anti-inflammatory, increases fertility and is also an anti-depressant.
\r\n
\r\nI\'ve also gathered anecdotal information from people that it has helped with their joint pain and primarily it\'s been marketed as a supplement to reverse hair loss.
\r\n
\r\nI\'m primarily taking it for its potential benefits to the kidney and liver. Has anyone had any experiences with this supplement?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Does not reverse hair loss in most people, but it is a great tonic. I have been giving it my dad and he feels a little better and I take it. It has a mild laxative effect and one side effect (in males) is after a week, your libido increases.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Hi,
\r\n
\r\nThanks for your response.
\r\n
\r\nAnyhow, I\'ve been taking Fo-Ti for a week and here is what I\'ve noticed:
\r\n
\r\n1. Instead of a laxative effect, I\'ve experienced the opposite, an odd bloating feeling of constipation.
\r\n
\r\n2. Instead of increasing my libido, it has completely decreased it. In fact, sexual thoughts are extremely repulsive at the moment
\r\n
\r\n3. It makes me sleepy during the day, so I take it before bed
\r\n
\r\nCould it be that Fo-Ti is typically a supplement that has more of a positive effect on men than women? Of course, I\'m taking a low dosage- 1200 mg/night.
\r\n
\r\nI\'ve read very good anecdotal experiences from males, but hardly any females.\r\n

Default Ho Shou Wu (Fo-Ti), the key to immortality?
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with Fo-Ti supplements? I've researched that this vitamin supplement from a root helps with kidney and liver functions, reverses the aging process, is an anti-inflammatory, increases fertility and is also an anti-depressant.

I've also gathered anecdotal information from people that it has helped with their joint pain and primarily it's been marketed as a supplement to reverse hair loss.

I'm primarily taking it for its potential benefits to the kidney and liver. Has anyone had any experiences with this supplement?
