About Nature’s Sunshine Kidney Activator TCM Concentrate

Your body’s ability to maintain proper fluid balance and support healthy kidney function plays a crucial role in your overall wellness. Nature’s Sunshine Kidney Activator TCM Concentrate brings together centuries of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom in a modern, convenient capsule format. This concentrated herbal formula follows the ancient principles that have guided Chinese herbalists for more than 2,000 years.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this formula is known as “qu shi,” which can be translated as “to get rid of dampness.” This concept refers to the body’s natural ability to manage fluid balance and eliminate excess water retention. The herbs in this formula have been carefully selected based on their traditional uses and their synergistic effects when combined together.

The Power of Ancient Wisdom

Each 425mg VegCap contains a proprietary blend of concentrated herbal extracts, including Poria sclerotium, astragalus root, and white mulberry root bark. These herbs work together according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to support the body’s natural processes. Poria, also known as Poria cocos, has been valued for centuries in Chinese medicine for its ability to support fluid balance and has been traditionally described as helping to “drain dampness.”

Astragalus root, known in Chinese as “huang qi” or “yellow leader,” has been used for over 2,000 years and is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This adaptogenic herb is traditionally believed to help support the body’s natural energy and may help with fluid balance according to Chinese concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'qu shi' mean and how does this formula work according to Traditional Chinese Medicine?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, “qu shi” translates to “get rid of dampness.” This refers to the concept that the body can sometimes accumulate excess moisture or fluids, which may affect overall wellness. The herbs in this formula are traditionally used to support the body’s natural processes for maintaining proper fluid balance.

How is this concentrate different from regular Kidney Activator?

Kidney Activator TCM Concentrate contains the same 16 herbs found in the regular Kidney Activator formula but in a highly concentrated blend. This means you get the benefits of the traditional formula in just one capsule daily instead of multiple capsules, making it more convenient while providing concentrated herbal nutrition.

What makes Poria special in this formula and why is it sometimes called hoelen?

Poria, also known as Poria cocos, is considered one of the premier herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting fluid balance. It’s sometimes called hoelen (an older name) and has been used historically by Chinese herbalists to “drain dampness.” This unique fungus grows on pine tree roots and has been treasured for over 2,000 years for its gentle yet effective properties.

Can I take this with other supplements or medications?

While this is a traditional herbal formula, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before combining any supplement with medications or other supplements, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking diuretics or other medications that affect fluid balance.

How long should I take this formula to experience traditional benefits?

Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas are typically used consistently over time. Individual experiences may vary, and the length of use often depends on individual needs and goals. For best results, use as directed and consult with a qualified healthcare professional or Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for personalized guidance.
