Note: news reports on the benefits of this formula caution consumers that “many herbal products claiming to be Huang Qin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) may contain harmful or ineffective substitutes and should be avoided.”
Eagle Herbs agrees with this caution, but we also remind consumers that there are legitimate herbal formulas available as well. All of the ingredients in this formula come from the Tianjiang Pharmaceutical Company. This company supplies about 75% of hospitals in China with their herb extract powders. The products that come from this company are far less likely to be adulterated with drugs or contaminated with heavy metals. Tianjiang is about as legitimate a pharmaceutical concern as you’ll find in China.
The problem of adulterants and heavy metal contaminants are more often found in the proprietary formulas made by companies that directly target consumers with the Chinese herbal equivalent of over-the-counter medicines. The extracts used at Eagle Herbs from Tianjiang are not sold directly to consumers like those that have been found to be tainted.
Just made up a batch, wanted to check out its taste. Not bad, very doable if you want to avoid the added cost of encapsulation.
Kind of a sweet toasted flavor with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The bitterness doesn’t last in the mouth, though. Not a bad taste by Chinese medicine standards.
Hello, I am abt. to recommend this to a person who will be administered a 5 times the normal chemo dose soon. So far, Astragalus has worked well. I wonder how this (PHY906) will counteract the chemo side effects, and whether this is safe. Patient has T-cell lymphoma (Non-H), almost in remission, abt. to get an autologous transplant. Also do not know if we shd tell the doc about this. Thanks.
Hi Vigay, this formula is being used for the gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapy.
Those who have purchased this formula from this site have a very high incidence of reorders, which tells me that people like the effects of this formula. This is a very safe formula, time tested over the past 1800 years. However as far as the quality of the Eagle Herbs in particular, you can read more about what we have here at EagleHerbs by reading “About Herb-Safety”
Always share with your doctors all the dietary supplements you are taking, though it may be wise to refer to it as PHY906 so they can better research it. I’m sure they’ll be okay with it.
