Roots in East Asian tradition
Fohow Xueqinfu is part of a millennia-old tradition of East Asian medicine, in which soy and grapes were viewed not merely as foods, but as powerful remedies for internal balance, longevity and blood health. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) places cardiovascular health at the center of overall vitality — blood (Xue, 血) is considered the vehicle of Qi (vital energy) throughout the entire body, and its maintenance is essential for every organ and tissue.
Traditional Chinese medicine and East Asian medicine perspective
The very name of the product Xueqingfu contains a precious clue: "xue" and "qing" (血清) can be associated with the concept of purifying and clarifying the blood — a fundamental principle in TCM, where dense, stagnant or "dirty" blood is the source of many chronic diseases. Soy (大豆 — Dàdòu) is a fundamental food-medicine in Chinese, Japanese and Korean culture for over 3,000 years, consumed in many forms, especially fermented, and is considered a tonic of the Spleen, Stomach and Kidneys — the organs responsible for the production and purification of blood according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.
Free movement of blood (Xue)
TCM associates circulatory blockages with the stagnation of Qi and blood. The ingredients in Xueqingfu support circulatory fluidity, alleviating stagnation.
Tonifying the Spleen and Stomach
Soy is classified in TCM as a tonic of the Spleen — the organ responsible for transforming nutrients into Qi and blood. A strong Spleen produces quality blood, according to traditional Chinese medicine.
Protecting the Liver
The antioxidants from grape seeds protect the Liver — the "commander of blood" in TCM — from oxidative stress.
Longevity and anti-premature aging
The long-lived Japanese culture (Okinawa) and Korean culture associate regular consumption of fermented soy and grape products with a long and healthy life — observations now confirmed by modern science.
Yin balance
Soy isoflavones are considered in TCM to be Yin substances — nourishing, calming, cooling — essential for hormonal balance and long-term tissue protection.
What is nattokinase?
In the context of the East Asian tradition based on soy, one cannot speak about cardiovascular health without mentioning nattokinase — one of the most remarkable discoveries in modern phytotherapy, directly linked to the heritage of soy culture.
Nattokinase is a proteolytic enzyme discovered in 1980 by Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, isolated from natto — a traditional Japanese method of processing soy.
It acts directly in the circulatory system, where it reproduces and potentiates the action of the body's natural fibrinolytic enzymes — those responsible for dissolving blood clots and maintaining optimal blood fluidity — and reduces the tendency of blood to form platelet aggregates.
A study conducted on 1,000+ people demonstrated that certain amounts of nattokinase consumed can reduce atherosclerotic deposits on vascular walls — one of the main causes of ischemic vascular or cerebral accidents.
Health benefits
The active ingredients in Fohow Xueqingfu have benefits validated both by millennia-old East Asian tradition and by modern phytotherapeutic and pharmacological research.
Cardiovascular and Circulatory Health
Support for venous circulation
Grape seed extract supports venous circulation and maintains the integrity of the venous system. OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) from grape seeds strengthen vessel walls and reduce excessive capillary permeability.
Integrity of blood vessels
Grape seeds maintain the integrity and health of blood vessels by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin in vascular walls, preserving their elasticity and resistance in the long term.
Healthy lipid profile
Soy isoflavones contribute to maintaining a balanced lipid profile, reducing LDL cholesterol and supporting HDL cholesterol levels.
Blood pressure support
Bioactive peptides from soy contribute to vascular relaxation and improvement of blood pressure values.
Optimal blood fluidity
The polyphenolic compounds in grape seed extract reduce the tendency of blood platelets to aggregate, supporting a fluid blood flow.
Myocardial protection
Resveratrol and OPCs from grape seeds protect cardiac muscle cells against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Antioxidant and Cellular Protection
Natural defense against free radicals
Grape seeds represent a well-known source of antioxidants and provide natural defense against free radicals. OPCs are considered in some contexts to be more powerful antioxidants than vitamins E and C.
Protection of the cell membrane
Grape seed extract supports the cell membrane against the destructive action of free radicals, protecting the lipid integrity of membranes and reducing cellular oxidation — the basis of many chronic diseases.
Optimal cell functioning
The bioactive compounds in soy and grape extract, consumed regularly, can support the normal functioning of cells by neutralizing oxidative stress, one of the main factors of cellular dysfunction.
Supported cellular regeneration
Soy isoflavones stimulate the natural mechanisms of cellular repair, supporting the replacement of damaged cells and maintaining healthy vascular and muscle tissue.
Metabolism and Hormonal Balance
Natural hormonal balance (women)
Soy isoflavones (natural phytoestrogens) bind to estrogenic receptors with selective affinity, contributing to the alleviation of menopausal symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, dryness, etc.
Supporting bone density
Phytoestrogens from soy contribute to maintaining bone density, especially in perimenopausal and menopausal women, a period during which the decrease in estrogen accelerates the loss of bone mass.
Supporting hormonal metabolism
These may modulate the activity of certain enzymes involved in the production of steroid hormones, potentially reducing androgen levels in conditions such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
Support for glucose metabolism
Soy isoflavones improve insulin sensitivity and modulate glucose metabolism, contributing to the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels, making them potentially beneficial for the management of metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance.
Nervous system, skin and anti-premature aging
Skin health and anti-premature aging
OPCs from grape seeds stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, helping to preserve elasticity. Antioxidants can protect the skin against photo-aging and environmental pollutants.
Eye health
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract support retinal microcirculation and protect photoreceptor cells against oxidative stress, contributing to the maintenance of visual acuity over time.
Neurological protection
Resveratrol from grape seeds crosses the blood-brain barrier, protecting neurons against oxidative stress and inflammation. It is being intensively studied for its potential in neurodegenerative conditions.
Cellular longevity
Resveratrol activates sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) — an enzyme associated with cellular longevity. This action makes grape seed extract an important ingredient in early anti-aging nutrition.
Inflammation, Immunity and Detoxification
Anti-inflammatory properties
The ingredients of the Fohow Xueqingfu product contain compounds with documented anti-inflammatory action, reducing systemic inflammatory markers such as CRP or IL-6, risk factors for various chronic cardiovascular conditions.
Immune support
Soy isoflavones and saponins modulate the immune response, potentially contributing to balancing the immune system and reducing autoimmune inflammation. Polyphenols from grapes support the activity of NK cells.
Hepatic detoxification
Antioxidants from grape seed extract protect the liver from oxidative stress induced by toxins and alcohol, supporting its natural detoxification functions — essential for overall metabolic health.
Intestinal health
Fibers and prebiotics from soy nourish the beneficial intestinal microbiome, contributing to balanced digestion, better nutrient absorption and a healthy intestinal barrier — the foundation of a strong immune system.
Grape Seeds (Vitis vinifera): Support venous circulation · Maintain the integrity and health of blood vessels · Maintain the integrity of the venous system · Well-known source of antioxidants · Natural defense against free radicals · Maintain the health and normal functioning of cells · Support the cell membrane against the destructive action of free radicals.
Active ingredients
Soy Powder — Glycine max
Soy is one of the most studied functional foods in the world, cultivated and consumed in Asia for thousands of years. Soy powder contains isoflavones (genistein, daidzein, glycitein), complete proteins with all essential amino acids, saponins, soluble fibers, phospholipids (soy lecithin), B-group vitamins, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. Isoflavones are natural phytoestrogens with a structure similar to human estrogen, acting as selective modulators of estrogenic receptors (natural SERMs) — with cardiovascular, bone, hormonal and antioxidant benefits.
In East Asian tradition: Tonic of the Spleen, Stomach and Kidneys. Associated with the production of quality blood, tissue nutrition and longevity.
Grape Seed Extract — Vitis vinifera
Grape seed extract is one of the most concentrated natural sources of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), resveratrol, quercetin, catechins and phenolic acids. OPCs from grape seeds are considered in some contexts to be more powerful antioxidants than vitamins E and C. Grape seeds contain considerably more polyphenols than the pulp or skin. They are intensively studied for their cardiovascular, anti-aging, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects — with dozens of clinical studies confirming their efficacy.
The French paradox: The high consumption of polyphenols from grapes in the wine-growing regions of France and the Mediterranean has been associated with surprisingly low rates of cardiovascular disease, despite a diet rich in fats — a phenomenon studied by researchers from around the world.

Frequently asked questions
What are OPCs from grape seeds and why are they special?
OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) are polyphenolic compounds concentrated in grape seeds. They strengthen blood vessel walls, protect vascular collagen, reduce inflammation and protect cells against oxidative stress. They are orally bioavailable and cross the blood-brain barrier, providing protection at the neurological level as well.
Can a woman in menopause use this product?
Soy is one of the most studied natural sources of phytoestrogens (isoflavones), with documented effects in alleviating menopausal symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, etc. Soy isoflavones act as selective modulators of estrogenic receptors, providing estrogenic benefits where they are needed (bones, cardiovascular system, skin). We recommend consulting a doctor, especially for women with sensitive hormonal history.
Can it help with varicose veins or poor peripheral circulation?
Yes — grape seed extract is one of the best documented natural ingredients for vein health. OPCs strengthen vein walls, reduce capillary permeability (responsible for edema and the sensation of heavy legs) and improve vascular tone. The effects are cumulative — they appear after a period of constant and regular consumption.
Is it safe for individuals with coagulation problems or those taking anticoagulants?
Both soy and grape seed extract can influence blood coagulation through their antiplatelet effects. Individuals taking anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, etc.) or those with coagulation disorders must consult a doctor before use. Additionally, consumption must be discontinued 3 weeks before any surgical procedure.
How long should it be consumed to observe results?
The effects of natural supplements are cumulative. The first benefits (energy, sensation of lighter legs, mental clarity) may appear after 2–4 weeks. Deep effects may set in after 2–3 months of regular administration. We recommend courses of 3 months, repeated 2–3 times per year.
How many capsules does a box contain and how long does a course last?
Each package contains 120 capsules. At a dose of 4 capsules/day (2 × 2), one package covers 30 days. At a dose of 6 capsules/day (2 × 3), it covers 20 days. For a period of 3 months at the average dose, you will need 3–4 boxes, depending on the chosen dose.
Are there any known side effects?
Soy and grape seed extract are generally well tolerated at the recommended doses. Sensitive individuals may initially experience mild digestive discomfort — which usually disappears within a few days. Individuals with soy allergy must not consume the product. Soy contains phytoestrogens — individuals with a history of hormone-dependent cancer must consult a doctor before use.
