What does it do?

Poria extract is derived from the fungus known as Poria, used in traditional herbal medicine, and is primarily utilized in pharmaceuticals for body fluid regulation and diuretic effects. It is included in traditional prescriptions related to the digestive, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, contributing to the improvement of edema or fluid retention.

Poria extract promotes urine excretion from the kidneys, reducing excess fluid in the body, which alleviates edema. Additionally, it assists in regulating the body's fluid balance, improving the overall fluid state.
