A naturally grew fruit out of the Tibetan plant, which is used in the traditional Chinese Medicine. Constituents are polysaccharides, beta-sytosterol, rutin and estrogenic flavonoids.

Disorders of the coagulation have occurred when exaggerated dosing was used.

Take minimal amounts without over passing the recommended dose.

Precaution is recommended before taking herbal products:
1. Ensure a reliable source: poisoning occurred by confusion with another plant that resulted to be toxic, poisoning from heavy metals and food poisoning by contamination with bacteria or fungi.
2. Avoid excessive consumption. The "natural" products are not good in any amount: plants contain active substances from which come out much of our traditional pharmacopoeia and can cause poisoning if eaten in exaggerated quantity or prolonged time.
