What are the proper dosages for adults (...and for children)?

Adults and children 15 years and over:

  • Minimum dosage: 1 level spoon* (2 capsules) x 2 per day
  • Regular dosage: 1 level spoon* (2 capsules) x 4 per day
  • Maximum dosage: 4 level spoons* (8 capsules) x 4 per day

Begin by taking the regular dosage immediately after meals and before bedtime. If you don't notice a reduction in symptoms within 3 days, increase the dosage by 1 level spoon (2 capsules). If there is still no improvement, continue raising the dosage up to a maximum of 4 level spoons (8 capsules).

For children from 8 to 14 years of age:

  • Minimum dosage: ½ spoon* (1 capsule) x 2 per day
  • Regular dosage: ½ spoon* (1 capsule) x 4 per day
  • Maximum dosage: 3 level spoons* (6 capsules) x 4 per day

Begin by taking the regular dosage immediately after meals and before bedtime. If you don't notice a reduction in symptoms within 3 days, increase the dosage by ½ spoon (1 capsule). If there is still no improvement, continue raising the dosage up to a maximum of 3 level spoons (6 capsules).

For children younger than 8, we recommend contacting us to order a custom-mixed remedy specifically tailored to them. Custom prices will vary slightly depending on the herbs used.

Note: Allow at least 1 hour between herbal remedy dosages, and space dosages out a few hours from any pharmaceutical medications.

*Measuring spoon is included



How long do I need to take the remedy?

Everyone has different levels of tolerance to the herbs. Some will notice immediate improvement with the minimum dosage, while others will need to increase the dosage.

In most cases, the herbs should be taken for 2 to 3 months for lasting curative results. However, this can vary greatly depending on the severity and chronicity of the particular condition. Most people feel a significant reduction of symptoms within 2 to 3 days.

Tip: If you miss a dose, you can try to fit it in later, as long as it is separated by a minimum of 1-2 hours from the other doses.



What is the difference between herbal extracts and regular herbs?

Regular herbs are available either in a crude dried form that must be boiled to make a tea, or in a pulverized form to be taken as a powder or pill.

The herbs in our formulas have undergone a high-tech extraction process, during which the crude herbs are vaporized, condensed, and dehydrated. This creates a highly concentrated powder of herbal granules, which is 5 times more powerful than crude herbs.



How soon should I expect to see benefits?

Because these formulas are composed of 5-to-1 concentrated herbal extracts, they are highly effective and usually produce noticeable reduction of symptoms within 2 to 3 days.



How many bottles do I need to order?

Supply (at the regular dosage):

  • 1 order of powder lasts for 25 days (100 grams)
  • 1 order of capsules lasts for 50 days (200 grams)

In most cases, the herbs should be taken for 2-3 months to produce lasting curative results. However, this can vary greatly depending on the severity and chronicity of the particular condition, with most people feeling a significant reduction of symptoms within 2 to 3 days.



What is the best way to take the herbs?

Powder:

  • The herbs can be mixed with 1-2 ounces of cold water, or with warm water and taken like a tea, or mixed with juice or other beverages.
  • The herbs can be mixed and eaten with cooked food, soups, etc.
  • Some people prefer to take the herbs directly. Using the included spoon, simply place the dosage directly on your tongue and wash it down with water.

 

Capsules:

  • Capsules can be swallowed with water, juice, or any other beverage.



What is the shelf life of a bottle of herbs?

Our herbal remedies retain their full power for 3 years from the time of purchase. After that time period, a new bottle should be purchased to ensure full effectiveness.



Are your herbal formulas safe?

Yes, our herbal remedies are 100% safe, and have been specially formulated to greatly reduce any the chance of side effects. All herbs are certified to adhere to cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) and are guaranteed to match or exceed pharmaceutical-grade quality.



Do any of the herbs cause drowsiness or impact driving/motor skills?

No, there are no herbs in our remedies that are attributed to poor coordination, impeded motor skills, or drowsiness.



Will these herbs interfere with any employment drug testing?

No, there are no prohibited substances in the formulas.



What does the powder form taste like?

Each formula will have a different taste due to varying herbal ingredients. No bitter herbs are used in any of the formulas, so they are all easy to take as a tea, or simply mixed with a small amount of water. Many people become accustomed to the taste and take the herbs directly on their tongue using the included spoon and following with some water.



Are there any drugs or chemicals in the formulas?

No, there are no western drugs or artificial chemical additives in any of our products.



Where do your herbs come from?

Our herbs are imported from China and manufactured by Sun Ten Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in California, USA under the strictest quality control standards to ensure pure, toxin-free substances. In addition, our herbs are compliant with The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (California Proposition 65), which prohibits the use of harmful heavy metals and other dangerous toxins in consumer products.



Are the herbal extracts free of pesticides and other toxins?

Yes, all herbs are subject to rigorous quality control standards. Each herb is tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological contamination to ensure purity and safety.

In addition, our herbs are compliant with The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (California Proposition 65), which prohibits the use of harmful heavy metals and other dangerous toxins in consumer products.



Is it possible to accidentally overdose on the herbs?

Although the herbs are completely non-toxic, you should not exceed the maximum dosage indicated on each product page.



How are your herbs different from other online herbal remedies?

Based on the integration of thousands of years of wisdom from traditional Chinese medicine, we continually research and field-test our remedies to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety. Every ingredient is proven effective by scientific research and clinical trials in the United States, Japan, and China.

We also take measures to ensure long-term effectiveness. Over time, your body can build up a tolerance to any herb (the same is true for pharmaceutical drugs), which can eventually decrease their power. To prevent this, we rotate each of our formula's ingredients at least once every 3 months. For this reason, our manufacturing facility custom mixes each herbal formula to ensure maximum potency.



Will the herbs interfere with my prescription medicine or other supplements?

The herbs should always be taken at least 1 hour apart from any prescription medications. This drastically minimizes the chance of any herb/drug interaction.

For specific questions about particular pharmaceuticals and herbal formulas, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and one of our practitioners will promptly get back to you.



Are there any dangers of taking these herbs?

Because the herbs are free of toxins and impurities, they are not harmful if taken at the indicated dosage.



Are your formulas safe for children?

Yes, the formulas are absolutely safe for children. Dosage instructions are listed here.

For children younger than 8, we recommend contacting us to order a custom-mixed remedy specifically tailored to them. Custom prices will vary slightly depending on the herbs used.



How do I give the herbs to my children?

Children too young to swallow capsules should take the powder mixed with juice or their favorite drink. Dosage instructions are listed here.



What's the difference between capsules and powder?

The powder and capsules contain exactly the same ingredients. One benefit of the powder form is that it's easier to give to children who are too young to swallow capsules.

Here's how the powder form compares to capsules:

Powder:

  • 100 grams (100 spoons*)
  • Lasts 25 days

*Measuring spoon is included with each order.

Capsules:

  • 200 grams (400 capsules)
  • Lasts 50 days



What kind of herbs are these?

ProvenRemedies.com offers pharmaceutical-grade, concentrated Chinese herbal extracts. These remedies have been tested over thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and validated by modern laboratory research. They also adhere to the same standards of cleanliness and quality as Western pharmaceutical companies.

Each herb is extracted at a specific temperature, utilizing a sophisticated vapor extraction process to maximize purity and potency and preserve the active herbal ingredients. Unlike other herbal products that utilize pulverized herbs, our formulas use 5-to-1 concentrated herbal extracts, which are 5 times more potent. Our herbal extract formulas are composed only of ingredients that have been scientifically proven to alleviate symptoms of the specific condition for which it's prescribed.

Unlike many other herbal supplements, including other Chinese herbal formulas, there are no fillers, additives, unproven, or unnecessary herbs in any of the Proven Remedies formulas. The potent and immediate therapeutic effect can be experienced within 24 to 48 hours of starting a new remedy.



Is it okay to take the herbs with my vitamins/supplements?

Yes, it is perfectly safe to take the herbs with your supplements.



Are your herbal formulas safe for seniors?

Yes, our herbal formulas are perfectly safe for seniors of all ages.



Do the herbs need to be refrigerated?

No, they do not need to be refrigerated. For best results, the herbs should be stored in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.



Why do the capsules last 50 days but powder lasts only 25 days?

Although the powder and capsules contain exactly the same herbs, they are packaged differently:

  • An order of capsules lasts for 50 days and is packaged in batches of 4 bottles (50 grams per bottle)
  • Powder lasts 25 days and is packaged in a single bottle (100 grams)



Why are capsules packaged in multiple bottles?

Over time, your body can build up a tolerance to herbs (which is also true for pharmaceutical drugs), which decreases their effectiveness. To prevent this, we rotate each of our formula's ingredients at least once every 3 months.

To guarantee maximum potency and effectiveness of our remedies, we custom mix every herbal formula. The capsuling process produces capsules in increments of 4 bottles per order, which is why the capsules are sold in minimum batches of 4 bottles, or a 50-day supply.

Because we prepare each remedy upon receipt of the order, we are able to constantly research and field-test all formulas and make any necessary improvements, resulting in the most evolved, effective formulas available.



What size is the spoon that comes with the powder form?

The spoon measures 1 gram exactly, which is a little under ½ a teaspoon. At the regular dose, you would take 4 level spoons per day mixed with a ¼ cup or so of water, juice, or other liquid.
