We carry three lines of herbal extracts:
Evergreen Collection formulas are a compilation of herbal formulas recovered following years of study and meticulous research in China, as well as successful formulas from various experienced practitioners who have shared their time-tested herbal prescriptions with us for various conditions.
Yes, we carry over 200 Classic formulas and over 450 Classic single herbs.
Our Classic formulas are available in granules (100 g) and capsules (100 caps, 50 g).
Our Classic single herbs are available only in granules (100 g).
Our herbs come in both Granules and Capsules for the formulas, and only in Granules for the single herbs.
Our Granule herbs are 100 gram per bottle. Our Capsule herbs are 100 capsules (50 gram) per bottle.
Our capsules are size 0 capsules and they are 0.5 gram each.
The capsules used in our formulas are gelatin capsules made from bovine/cow and porcine/pig.
We also carry empty vegetable capsules (1000 capsules/bag) that you can purchase and use to encapsulate the granular formulas.
The standard adult dosage for our herbs is 6 grams or 12 capsules a day divided into two or more doses throughout the day. Age, weight, constitution, and condition of patients should also be taken into consideration when determining the dosage.
This would depend on the dosage prescribed to your patient. If given the standard adult dosage (6 grams or 12 caps per day), the granule bottle should last about 2 weeks and the capsule bottle about 1 week.
The herbal granules are taken like tea. Just mix the herbs with warm water and drink it like tea.
A leveled spoon is about 1 gram.
Pediatric patients are able to take most herbs / formulas at a lower dosage than adults.
Gluten is found in wheat and wheat-related products. Some herbs in the herbal pharmacopeia are wheat-based, thus these herbs and formulas with these herbs will contain gluten.
On average, our herbs must pass 15 tests before making it onto our shelf and reaching you. We perform tests to ensure the identity, quality, and safety on each and every lot of our herbs. Identity tests include organoleptic visual check and microscopic cellular identity check. Quality tests include TLC active ingredient check and HPLC potency level test. Safety tests include total and individual heavy metal tests, total yeast and mold test, and total bacterial count test.
Evergreen herbs are natural products, and like everything natural, there will be variations. For example, the same species of apples (i.e., Granny Smith) you find in the store will look, smell, and taste different from one apple to another. They will not be exactly the same. Like apples, herbs are the same; there will be variations in look, smell, and taste from lot to lot.
Our granule herb bottles contain 100 grams of herbs. Herbs have different density (ex., minerals are heavier and leaves are lighter), so the volume of each herb varies, resulting in some bottles being full to the top while others are only half full. Nonetheless, the herbs measure 100 grams.
