Been getting some enquiries about this formula in veterinary applications. There is some concern about this formula and a Canadian product that contained Ma Huang (Hb. Ephedra).
My product does not contain any Ma Huang (Hb. Ephedra). I am unable to include that ingredient for online sales. It isn’t a poison, but it was misused by those seeking weight-loss or energy. Some people died, but the dosages that they were taking of ma huang were CRAZY high. Much higher than ever used in Chinese medicine. But like I say, there is no ma huang in the online version of this yi yi ren tang.
Dosage for veterinary applications is: 1/2 teaspoon per 50 pounds of weight. This actually applies to people too. If your dog weights 100 pounds, use 1 teaspoon. If your husband weight 200 pounds, use 2 teaspoons, if you have a Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yeti, or abominable Snow Monster in your backyard that you estimate weighs 300 pounds, you can use 3 teaspoons for said monster’s kvetches.
In either case, 2 to 3x daily is suggested.
My vet suggested yi yi ren tang for my dog, who is 18 lbs. According to your calcs above, I should give him between 1/8 and 1/4 tsp. How important is accuracy at this dosage? Also, is that amount per day or is that amount 2-3 times per day?
I don’t think that the dosage is very specific. This dosage suggestion is at best, “ballpark”. I can give my human patients twice that dosage without much concern. People’s responses vary widely and so must the dosage.
Yes, this dosage would be repeated 2 or 3 times daily.
For the record, this is a 5:1 extraction ratio powder. Perhaps your vet can infer something from that information regarding dosage too.
