Ingredients edit
The Chinese ingredient list differs from the two English-language ingredients lists available on the Internet. If anyone can check these, it would be great.
- 何首乌 (he shou wu/Polygonum multiflorum) - verified
- 狗脊 (Cibotium barometz, also called Rhizoma Cibotii?)
- 川芎 (Ligusticum wallichii, also called Ligusticum chuanxiong) - verified
- 地黄 (Rehmannia glutinosa) - verified
- 当归 (danggui/Angelica sinensis) - verified
- 金樱子提取液 (Cherokee rose?, "hand picked juice"?)
- 菟丝子 (Cuscuta chinensis?)

Place of production edit
Can anyone determine where Shou Wu Chih is produced? Badagnani 01:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Done. Badagnani 20:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
More to the point, what is the meaning of the sentence "It gently increases the energy level and it tonifies, warms, and invigorates the Blood"?
Wikipedia is supposed to be a factual and informative website, not somewhere for quacks to advertise their wares.

Chinese name edit
Is this the same product: 金樱首乌汁? Badagnani 01:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- If "金樱" is the brand, then probably yes. Sjschen 04:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't see the "金樱" on the bottle or on many websites about it. Anyway, maybe the company name doesn't necessarily have to be on it, like we don't always say "Glaxo Smith-Kline's Xanax" or "M & M Mars' Snickers Bar" or whatever. Some of the websites using the terminology 金樱首乌汁 depict something else in the photo, not the familiar bottle but some box of tea bags or something that doesn't resemble it.

Characters edit
Need characters for "Yang Cheng." Badagnani 20:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Removing uncited and probably false claim edit
"Based on the herb Polygonum Multiflorum (Chinese: He shou wu or fo-ti), it is suitable for long-term use." 50.250.236.45 (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
