Frequently Asked Questions about Yuan Zhi Extract
What is Polygala Root (Yuan Zhi) extract?
Polygala root extract is a dietary supplement made from the dried root of Polygala tenuifolia, a plant of the milkwort family (Polygalaceae). In English it is known as polygala or thinleaf milkwort, and in traditional Chinese herbalism as Yuan Zhi; in pharmacy references it appears as Radix Polygalae. Our extract is made from the root and is offered in two forms: an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture, each prepared from ethically sourced raw material. This is a whole-root liquid extract that carries the plant's natural spectrum of constituents - it is not an isolated or standardized single-compound product such as tenuigenin. We label the product by its botanical name and plant part so it is clear this is Polygala tenuifolia, distinct from other plants in the same genus.
What is the difference between the alcohol-free and tincture versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Polygala tenuifolia root; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and crystal-clear water, giving it a naturally sweet taste that suits those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses a traditional blend of vegetable glycerine, alcohol and water. Choose the alcohol-free glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture if you prefer a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.
Is Yuan Zhi the same as Senega snakeroot or garden milkwort?
No, though they are related. Yuan Zhi is the root of Polygala tenuifolia, the Chinese species used in traditional Chinese herbalism. It belongs to the genus Polygala, which also includes Senega snakeroot (Polygala senega), a North American species that HawaiiPharm offers as a separate product, and a number of ornamental garden milkworts. All are milkworts, but they are distinct species with different traditional uses. Our product is specifically Polygala tenuifolia. It is also different from isolated compounds such as tenuigenin, which are single substances studied on their own; our extract preserves the root's own spectrum of constituents. We label the product clearly by its botanical name and plant part so there is no confusion between Yuan Zhi, Senega snakeroot, and the garden milkworts.
How do I use Polygala Root liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Adults take 20-30 drops (approximately 1 ml, one full squeeze of the dropper bulb) in 2 oz of water, tea, or juice, up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.
Is Polygala Root extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.
Polygala root naturally contains saponins, which in large amounts can irritate the stomach and cause nausea, so it is important not to exceed the suggested serving size. It is best avoided if you have a stomach condition such as gastritis or an ulcer, and it should not be used during pregnancy or nursing. If you take any prescription medication or are managing a health condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. This alcohol-free glycerite is best refrigerated after opening. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
