Yan Hu SUO - Tubérculo de Corydalis Yanhusuo, 100 g (E-Fong)

What is Corydalis Yanhusuo?

Corydalis Yanhusuo, also known as Yan Hu Suo, is a perennial plant of the Papaveraceae family. The tubers of this plant have been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine for various applications. The name "Yan Hu Suo" literally means "cloud extensions" and refers to its shape. The plant grows in mountainous regions of China, especially in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui.

In traditional herbalism, it is considered an important remedy. However, it is crucial to understand that these uses have not been evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) or other Western regulatory agencies. This supplement is offered as a food supplement based on traditional knowledge, not as a medicine.

The extract is obtained from the dried tubers, which are harvested in spring and processed to obtain the concentrated granules. E-Fong guarantees the purity of the product, although the extraction ratio is not specified.

Ingredients and presentation

The product contains 100 grams of Corydalis Yanhusuo (tuber) extract granules. It contains no other ingredients, additives, preservatives, or excipients. This makes it an ideal choice for those who prefer single-component supplements, without unnecessary mixtures.

The granules are light brown and have a characteristic slightly bitter taste. They dissolve easily in hot or cold water, although some people prefer to take them directly with a spoonful of honey or yogurt to improve the taste. The 100-gram package is sufficient for prolonged use, depending on the dose.
