Yi Zhi Ren-Fructus Alpiniae Oxyphyllae

Yi Zhi Ren 益智仁- is the dried ripe fruit of Alpinia oxyphylla, a warming and kidney-tonifying herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike Rou Cong Rong (Cistanche), which strongly tonifies kidney Yang, Yi Zhi Ren specializes in consolidating essence, reducing urinary frequency, and improving cognitive function, making it ideal for age-related decline and urinary disorders.
