Barlowe also bottles his products in glass as he believes chemical vapors can vent from plastic containers and contaminate the contents and that glass is better for the environment.

Fo-Ti has a long history of use in Chinese Traditional Medicine as a longevity tonic, to treat erectile dysfunction, to decrease discomfort of the liver and the kidney, and to keep the balance of a healthy human body. In China, Fo-Ti is called "He shou wu", which means "black-haired Mr. He". This name refers to a legend, written around 813 A.D. by LiAo, about an old villager named Mr. He who took Fo-Ti and restored his black hair, youthful appearance and vitality.

As it was thought by ancient Chinese that "the luster of hair is dependent on the function of the kidney", Fo-Ti has been widely used in remedies both taken orally and externally to polish and blacken the hair.

Fo Ti enhances immunity and acts as an anti-aging herb. Liu Zheng Cai, The Mystery of Longevity, 1990 Foreign Language Press, Beijing. It is widely used to nourish the blood, reproductive essence ('jing') and lubricative moisture ('yin') of the body. This 'moistening' approach is vital in many restorative or 'anti-aging' herbal combinations. In T.C.M., the brain, reproductive essence and bone marrow are all functions of the 'water element'.

Fo-Ti has also been investigated to treat the premature graying of hair. Premature greying may arise from numerous causes. According to the English-Chinese Encyclopedia of Practical Traditional Chinese Medicine, premature greying is "mostly caused by deficiency of liver and kidney with subsequent failure of [blood to go up and nourish] the hair." Clinical tests have shown the effectiveness of Fo-Ti in treating premature greying.
