    What does it do?

    In Traditional Chinese Medicine, He Shou Wu, in its processed form, nourishes the liver and kidney which is the source for Blood and Essence, respectively. The Liver Blood nourishes the head, scalp, and hair. The Kidney essence nourishes the bone marrow and bones, replenishes semen, and controls the aging process. He Shou Wu may support hair growth, support hair original color, and support bones and muscles associated with aging.

    In addition to He Shou Wu, Shou Wu Pian (Wan) contains a blend of 12 additional herbs. This formulation is used to further enhance the action of He Shou Wu because He Shou Wu as a single herb often does not produce the optimal results. The same formula has been used by the noble class in China for vitality and longevity.

    Please note that our tablets may appear neutral in finishing and a little brittle. You may observe a tiny bit of fine powder at the bottom of your bottle and occasionally one or a couple of broken tablets after transportation. This is because unlike other manufacturers, our tablets are not coated as part of our effort to minimize the use of excipients and to make them as pure as possible. These tablets can also be easily dissolved in hot water to serve as tea.

    How do I use it?

    Take 6 tablets each time, 2 to 3 times daily. One bottle lasts users 11 to 17 days.

    As the herbal formula is a mild tonic and acts slowly, results may not be noticeable within 3 months, it is suggested to take it for 3 months in full dose as the first regimen. The dose may then be reduced.

    Precaution
    1. Do not use it if you are taking cold medicines.
    2. Consult your herbalist or physician before use if you are taking other medicines.
    3. Avoid taking oily food.
    4. Use with caution if you have any of following symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, stuffness of the abdomen, phlegm, and cough.
    5. If any adverse symptom occurs, discontinue use.
    6. Keep out of reach of children.

    FotiHair™ (Shou Wu Pian) is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 26.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic! My hair started graying when I was in my early twenties. Overtime white hair took over to the point of being almost unable to find brown hairs, which is my natural color. I started taking FotiHair about 2 years ago. In about 2 months I started seeing lots of brown hair and new hair growing on my hairline. The amount of brown hair I got thanks to SHOU WU PIAN is significant and easily visible. Needles to say, I will continue using it. The westernized name FotiHair is a bit misleading, especially considering the MANY health benefits of this herb compound. Advertising strategies, maybe?

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Restored my hair color! I have been using FotiHair for about a year and a half. It slowed down my hair loss. The baby hairs at my temples are growing back in and they are coming in with my natural hair color of light brown instead of gray. My hairdresser says eventually I won't have to color my hair any more.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Nothing positive to say I took this for two months. During that time I did not change anything else in my life: diet, exercise, etc. I wanted everything else to be constant, as it was prior to taking the product. I took it hoping for some hair growth, and at the very least, that my hair would stop falling out. Actually, my hair started falling out more. Not sure if this was due to liver activity from the product or coincidence. I did not notice any improved health benefits whatsoever. It may work for some but it did nothing positive to impact my health.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for low back pain, lower body weakness, itchy skin, and anti-aging Most people will purchase FotiHair for its hair rejuvenating effects. But the main ingredient in FotiHair, HeShouWu, is also good for low back pain, lower body weakness, and itchy skin. In Chinese Medicine greying hair indicates that a person is aging faster than they should. HeShouWu is a Kidney Jing tonic which means that it restores the body's essence and increases longevity. I purchased this for a family member and tried it on a whim. Within a few days I noticed that some low back pain and lower body weakness had disappeared. I also noticed that my hair seemed a lot softer. I'll continue taking it for those reasons alone. Thank you ActiveHerb.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far I'm I'm pressed I ordered this a month ago and since I've started taking it, my hair looks shinier, is stronger, and feels better. My nails also have grown faster too.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Results Came Fast! I've been on Shou Wu Pian for about 2 and a half weeks now and I have seen noticeable difference!! I started loosing my hair after high school and I'm now 22. My hair hasn't been growing at all and started getting patchy. In 3 weeks my sides have started filling in getting thicker, and I know it works because I'm hearing from other people "wow your hair is looking thicke" and it has given me such a boost in confidence. I used rogaine for about 6 months and this foti has given me the results I've been wanting in just weeks.

    What is the dosage for 3-6 years old kids?

    Asked by: Someone
    Hi, Thanks for the question. The application of Shou Wu Pian is not what a kid would be concerned so we do not suggest kids to take it. But if a kid of 3-6 years old needs to take it, the dose would be reduced by weight proportion to adults.

    What is the difference between this FotiHair and HairVive -- how should we select? I have white/grey hair (in my early 60s) and hair is like straw.

    Asked by: moon510
    Thanks for the question. Both are similar in function and popular with our customers. Which one to choose is more a personal preference.

    Glad to know it’s suitable for vegans. I see the ingredients just the herbs though the herbs themselves act as the binders? What is the pill made from and or the ingredients that bind the pill? Thank you!
