Place of production[edit]

Can anyone determine where Shou Wu Chih is produced? Badagnani 01:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Badagnani 20:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

If "金樱" is the brand, then probably yes. Sjschen 04:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
