There are no controlled studies on the effectiveness or safety of Fo-Ti in humans. Preliminary studies with animals have found that Fo-Ti may attenuate diet-induced increases in plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and plasma triglycerides. In animal studies, there is some evidence that Fo-Ti may enhance learning and memory and prevent the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in the brain

CONTRA-INDICATIONS AND CAUTIONS:

Pregnancy

Rarely, people develop an allergic skin rash after taking Fo-Ti. Other side effects include loose stools. Taking more than 15 grams of the processed root can cause numbness in the arms and legs.

One study tested 32 plants used for menopause in traditional Chinese medicine. They found that Fo-Ti had the greatest estrogenic activity. People with estrogen-related cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, and prostate should take extra caution because the effect of Fo-Ti in humans is not known.
