What Are Concentrated Granules?

Our herbal supplements (herbal formulas) are made with concentrated granules - pure water extracts of Chinese herbs that have been concentrated at a 5:1 ratio and made into dry kernels (granules) that dissolve well in hot water. This is the safest, most potent, most convenient format for our premade herbal formulas.

Optimal Dosing of Our Herbal Supplements

DISCLAIMER: The following optimal daily therapeutic doses for our supplements are the doses we suggest to our patients in our clinic. If you are NOT an established patient in our clinic, these doses are presented here for educational purposes only. They are based on the patient being robust of health and not taking any pharmaceuticals (that may interfere with absorption rate of the herbs or otherwise have a negative interation with these natural substances). If you are unsure how much herbal supplement you should be taking, consult your licensed healthcare provider for proper individual guidance. We are not responsible for the effects of off-label use of our herbal supplements.

If your formula of choice has both an ACTIVE version and a STABILIZE version, the ACTIVE version should be taken until the skin is clear. Once skin is clear, you can switch to the STABLIZE version of your formula. This stabilization phase is critical to ensuring your skin will remain clear for as long as possible once you discontinue the supplement. Don’t cheat yourself by stopping supplementation too early. Learn more in this 4-minute video about Active vs Stabilize versions of our herbal supplements.

Optimal dose for healthy ADULTS over age 18:

ACTIVE formulas: 10 to 12g TWICE per day until skin clears

STABILIZE formulas: 8 to 10g TWICE per day for 1 to 2 additional months
