About Nature’s Sunshine Kidney Activator (Chinese)
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has recognized the vital importance of maintaining proper water balance within the body. Nature’s Sunshine Kidney Activator (Chinese) brings together 15 carefully selected herbs in a time-tested formula that supports the body’s natural ability to maintain healthy fluid balance and urinary system function.
This traditional formula, known as “qu shi” in Chinese medicine, translates to “eliminate moisture” or “get rid of dampness.” According to Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, the water element governs the kidneys, adrenal system, and overall fluid balance in the body. When this element is in harmony, energy flows freely and vitality is maintained.
The Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Each herb in this comprehensive formula has been chosen based on centuries of traditional use and understanding. Hoelen sclerotium, historically used by the Chinese to “drain dampness,” works alongside astragalus root, which according to Chinese concepts may help clear retained water from the body. Alisma rhizome has been traditionally employed to promote healthy fluid flow and support the bladder and urinary tract.
The formula also includes warming herbs like ginger rhizome and cinnamon twig, which help support circulation and energy flow. White mulberry root bark (morus) is thought to help eliminate excess moisture, while magnolia bark and other supporting herbs create a synergistic blend that addresses multiple aspects of water element balance.

The Difference Between Kidney Activator Formulas
Nature’s Sunshine offers three distinct Kidney Activator formulas to meet different wellness needs. The regular Kidney Activator contains five Western herbs including juniper berries, parsley, uva ursi, dandelion root, and chamomile flowers. This formula takes a more direct approach to supporting urinary system health with herbs commonly used in Western herbalism.
Kidney Activator (Chinese) represents a complete Traditional Chinese Medicine formula with 15 herbs working synergistically to address the water element according to ancient Chinese principles. This formula takes a more holistic approach, considering not just urinary function but overall energy balance and the interconnected nature of body systems as understood in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
For those seeking maximum potency, Kidney Activator TCM Concentrate offers the same 15 traditional herbs found in the Chinese formula but in a highly concentrated extract form. The concentrate version provides enhanced bioavailability in a smaller serving size, requiring only one capsule daily compared to the regular Chinese formula, making it ideal for those who prefer concentrated herbal nutrition.
Recommended Usage
Take 1 VegCap with a meal daily. Pregnant or lactating women should consult their health care provider prior to taking this supplement.
