About Nature’s Sunshine HY-C TCM Concentrate
Traditional Chinese Medicine has recognized the delicate balance between fire and water elements in the body for over two millennia. When these elements become imbalanced, it can affect your glandular system and metabolic processes. Nature’s Sunshine HY-C TCM Concentrate offers a concentrated solution rooted in ancient wisdom, delivering the power of 16 traditional Chinese herbs in one convenient daily capsule.
This remarkable formula represents the concentrated version of Nature’s Sunshine’s trusted HY-C Chinese blend, providing the same therapeutic benefits in a more potent, convenient form. While the regular HY-C requires taking 2 capsules three times daily, the TCM Concentrate delivers equivalent benefits with just one capsule daily, making it perfect for busy lifestyles without compromising traditional effectiveness.
The Science Behind “Bu Yin” Formula
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, HY-C TCM Concentrate is classified as a “bu yin” formula, which translates to “supplement yin” or “nourish yin.” In TCM theory, yin represents the cooling, moistening, and nourishing aspects of the body. When yin becomes deficient, it can manifest as various imbalances affecting your metabolic and glandular systems.
This carefully crafted blend works to “strengthen water and reduce fire” – a fundamental concept in Chinese medicine that refers to supporting the body’s natural cooling and moistening processes while calming excessive heat or inflammation. The water element in TCM is associated with the kidneys and related glandular functions, while the fire element relates to metabolic activity and circulation.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Philosophy
Eastern philosophy teaches that life energy must be awakened, nurtured, and balanced for optimal health. TCM identifies five distinct energies that flow through the body: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. HY-C TCM Concentrate specifically targets the water element while reducing excess fire, creating harmony between these vital forces.
The herbs in this concentrated formula have been used for centuries to support the body’s natural ability to maintain metabolic balance. Each ingredient was carefully selected based on traditional TCM principles, working synergistically to create a comprehensive support system for your glandular health and overall wellness.
Recommended Usage
Take 1 capsule with a meal daily. NOTE: Pregnant or lactating women should consult their health care provider prior to taking this supplement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both formulas contain the same traditional Chinese herbs, but HY-C TCM Concentrate is a highly concentrated extract that requires only 1 capsule daily compared to the regular HY-C which requires 2 capsules three times daily (6 total). The concentrated version offers the same benefits in a more convenient, potent format.
‘Bu yin’ translates to ‘supplement yin’ or ‘nourish yin.’ In TCM philosophy, yin represents the cooling, moistening, and nourishing aspects of the body. This formula helps strengthen these qualities while reducing excess fire element, supporting overall metabolic balance.
According to TCM principles, the herbs in this formula, particularly rehmannia root, work to support the body’s natural processes for maintaining blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range. The ‘water strengthening’ action helps support metabolic balance.
While this is a traditional herbal formula, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before combining it with other supplements or medications, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications for blood sugar management.
Traditional Chinese Medicine works gradually to support the body’s natural balance. Individual results may vary, but consistent daily use for several weeks to months is typically recommended. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare practitioner familiar with TCM for personalized guidance.
