How to Take

He Shou Wu may be taken anytime but is best taken around meal and snack time.

Best benefits from He Shou Wu will come from consistent and continuous consumption over a period of time.* Take at least once a day, preferably in the evening around dinner time. He Shou Wu may be taken up to 2-3 times a day for stress adaptogen benefits.*

Benefits with tonics take time; taking enough consistently rewards health †

Take as Desired: Consume on a continuous basis to develop the natural tonic benefits that build over time.* Some benefits are immediate, while some results require consumption over several days and weeks to achieve.*

Shake Gently: Secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the tincture. Do not over-shake, as the vigorous mixing of air with the extract will oxidize and damage many of the necessary constituents for required dosage and potency.

By Mouth: Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds and then swallow the rest of extract. This allows digestion to begin in the mouth and will take advantage of the activated multi-step extract so that many of the constituents bypass digestion and enter the body through the mouth and throat.*

Mix with Water: squirt the drops or entire droppers into 2-4 oz. of water that is under 120*F. Water that is cool to lukewarm temperature is best to preserve the volatile and fragile constituents from being damaged and denatured which will reduce the potency of the extract.* Sip slowly to allow absorption in the mouth and throat.* This method makes it easier to become accustomed to the extract and to take larger doses of several different tinctures at once in a tonic program.*

For Maximum Potency: regularly consume the tincture within a period of 45 days; after 45 days of continuous consumption the extract may begin to gradually lose potency requiring a larger dosage to achieve similar benefit.* A bottle will generally last 10-30 days depending on dosage and concurrent supplementation programming.*
