Fo-ti Extract / He Shou wu Extract / Feeceflower Root Extract

Specifications

Fo-ti Extract

1. Delaying the aging process:
1).Protecting superoxide dismutase (SOD): the herb can arrest bupleurum or cortisone-induced decrease in SOD in mice's blood, and restore it to the normal level;
2).Affecting monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity: MAO-B, one of two types of MAO, is closely related to the aging process, and researchers have found that among a number of herbs that affect MAO activity, this herb is the greatest inhibitor of MAO activity, with the inhibiting rate reaching as high as 82% when the concentration is at 248mg/ml. 

2. Enhancing immunity:Anti Tumor:
1).Increase the weight of mice's thymus gland and delaying the gland's atrophy process;
2).Enhance the phagocytic function of mice's abdominal macrophage;  
3).Enhance the immunological function of T and B lymphocytes.

3. Enhancing adrenocortical function:

1).increase mice's adrenal gland;
2).increase the hepatic glycogen content in hungry mice whose adrenal gland has been removed.

4. Effects on hematopoietic cells:

He Shou Wu promotes hematopoietic stem cells.

5. Effects on the cardiovascular system:

Injecting this herb to the isolated frog heart decreases the rate of heartbeat, an effect that intensifies with the increase of dosage. This herb also counteracts the heartbeat rate increase induced by isoproterenol, and to some extent it prevents myocardial ischemia.

6. Lowering blood fat:
Taking the herb orally at the dosage of 5g/kg by patients of high cholesterol can lower cholesterol to the normal level - after 7 consecutive days of treatment, the total cholesterol level in the treatment group has been lowered to 88 +- 11mg% (compared to the control group's 188 +- 12mg%; p less than 0.01); the effect of taking this herb at the dosage of 15g/kg (water decoction) is about equivalent to that of taking atromid-S at the dosage of 200mg/kg.

7. Protecting the liver:

In experiments on mice, both the raw and processed versions of this herb lower the hydroprednisone acetate-induced hepatic fat buildup, and lessen the hepatomegaly induced by carbon tetrachloride poisoning. Furthermore, researchers have found that this herb can stabilize liver cells by way of membrane mechanism.

8. Antibacterial effect:

Experiments indicate that both the raw and processed versions of this herb inhibit a number of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, typhoid bacillus, Bacillus paratyphosus, Bacillus diphtheriae, and beta hemolytic streptococcus. The mean inhibitory concentration invariably falls between 0.08 and 0.5g/ml.

9. Other Effects:

Stilbenes isolated from polygonum species have been evaluated on rat peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocyte lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase activity. A mixture including fo-ti has been studied for its effects on glucocorticoid receptor in senile rat thymocyte.

The plant has also been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation in isolated rat heart mitochondria.Fo-ti also exhibits antimicrobial properties against mycobacteria and malaria.

Other uses of the plant include: To increase fertility, to increase blood sugar levels,to treat anemia and to relieve muscle aches.
