Sun Ten Bai Hu Jia Ren Shen Tang | Ginseng & Gypsum Combination Capsules | 白虎加人參湯 / Default Title

Gypsum is a rock. Ginseng is a root. Sun Ten put them both in a capsule so you don't have to explain to anyone at the office why you're eating a mineral.

Bai Hu Jia Ren Shen Tang, or "White Tiger Plus Ginseng Decoction" if you're translating it for a friend who doesn't read Chinese medical texts for fun, is a traditional herbal formula that's been brewed as a tea for a very long time. Sun Ten took that whole process, the boiling, the straining, the standing over a pot wondering if you did it right, and put it into a capsule instead. You just swallow it. That's the entire ritual now. Progress.

What's Actually In Here

The formula pairs Ren Shen (ginseng) with Shi Gao (gypsum), along with the other traditional supporting herbs that make up the classic combination. Ginseng shows up in a lot of formulas because it's one of those ingredients that supports healthy energy levels without asking a lot of questions. Gypsum is the less famous half of the duo, but it's been part of this particular formula for centuries, which is a longer track record than most things in your kitchen cabinet.

• Supports the body's natural response to warmth and comfort during hot conditions
• Supports healthy fluid balance and a comfortable feeling of hydration
• Supports healthy energy levels through the ginseng component
• Supports digestive comfort as part of the overall formula
• Promotes general wellness as part of a traditional herbal routine

Why Capsules Instead Of The Traditional Decoction

If you've ever made an actual decoction, you know it involves a pot, a timer, and a level of commitment most of us reserve for renewing our passports. Sun Ten extracts and concentrates the formula, then puts it into a capsule, so the whole tradition fits in a bottle instead of a simmering pot on your stove. The formula didn't change. The amount of dishes you have to wash did.

This is a traditional Chinese herbal formula, and Sun Ten has been manufacturing these extracts for decades using standardized extraction methods, which is their way of saying the ginseng in bottle one is the same as the ginseng in bottle four hundred. Take it as part of your regular wellness routine, alongside actual food and actual water, because no capsule, however well-formulated, is replacing either of those.
