Product Notes:

One of the principal traditional uses of dong quai has always been to promote blood circulation, which has implications not only for women with irregular menstrual cycles or anemia, but also potentially anyone helpful with blood pressure issues or headaches due to poor circulation.

Scientific analyses have indicated it does indeed contain active constituents which interact with the blood system, including coumarins, phytosterols, polysaccharides, ferulate, and flavonoids, and it is rich in Vitamin B12, which our bodies use to make red blood cells. Studies also indicate its trans-ferulic content can have anti-inflammatory effects and decrease blood clotting.

Dong Quai is also sometimes known as Danggui.

Related: Dong quai is also available in tincture formulas and as a tea. Also see NOW Foods Black Cohosh Capsules with Dong Quai.
