In today's fast-paced world, chronic stress, irregular sleep patterns, sedentary lifestyles and high workloads push countless people into sub-health. Common complaints include persistent fatigue, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, poor sleep quality, sluggish digestion, low energy, and weakened immune defence.

Many wellness supplements on the market claim to boost energy or support vitality, yet most carry clear downsides: narrow functional benefits, bloated ingredient lists with weak synergistic effects, hidden synthetic additives for fast results, unpleasant flavour profiles, or harsh high-temperature manufacturing that destroys heat-sensitive active nutrients. For men looking for gentle, natural support for reproductive vitality and general wellness, safe, side-effect-free herbal solutions remain hard to find.

That is why our in-house herbal R&D team developed this carefully calibrated food-homologous compound, with Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong) as one of our core star ingredients. Formulated with 42 naturally sourced food-grade herbal ingredients, this proprietary blend is crafted into a press candy with a low-temperature, nutrient-preserving production workflow. It delivers layered, all-round conditioning: kidney and lumbar support, spleen reinforcement and qi tonification, calm sleep support, bone and joint care, blood nourishment, gut regulation and antioxidant defence. It helps ease multiple sub-health discomforts, strengthens immune resilience, maintains bone mineral density, and naturally supports male vitality - with zero harsh synthetic stimulants and minimal risk of side effects for long-term daily use.

Core note on Cistanche: As our signature ingredient sourced from our own Cistanche production base, Cistanche is celebrated in traditional herbal wellness for supporting kidney essence, easing lumbar and knee weakness, and boosting male vitality. In this blend, it works synergistically with Eucommia male flower, Cornus officinalis, Polygonatum and black mulberry, rather than acting in isolation - delivering gradual, sustainable nourishment instead of temporary stimulation.

What This Herbal Blend Supports: Layered, Holistic Conditioning

We designed this formula to work step by step. Instead of chasing a single quick effect, it rebuilds foundational wellness from the inside out:

Reinforce kidney foundation & support male vitality (core focus) Eucommia male flower, Cistanche, Cornus officinalis, prepared Polygonatum, black goji berry and mulberry work together to tonify essence, strengthen the lower back, ease soreness and fatigue in waist and knees, lift stamina and physical endurance. For men seeking natural vitality support, this combination nourishes the root gently, without the jitters or side effects common with synthetic alternatives.

Strengthen the spleen, drain dampness and boost qi absorption Astragalus, Chinese yam, Poria cocos, fried coix seed, tangerine peel and fried malt support healthy digestion, reduce bloating and heavy sluggishness, and help your body actually absorb nutrition from food and herbs. Nourishment cannot work well if digestion is weak.

Calm the mind & improve sleep recovery Spine date seed, lily bulb, lotus seed, Poria cocos and polygonatum odoratum soothe restlessness, ease difficulty falling asleep, reduce frequent nighttime waking and anxious thinking. Quality sleep is where your body repairs hormone balance and replenishes vitality.

Support tendons, bones and joint comfort Fried cucumber seed, fried lettuce seed, kudzu root, dried papaya and walnut kernel are classic bone-support herbal ingredients. They are selected to support bone density, relieve stiffness caused by long sedentary hours and protect lumbar and joint health.

Nourish blood, brighten complexion & boost antioxidant defence Red dates, red goji berry, seabuckthorn, blueberry, black sesame and black soybean replenish blood nutrition and fight oxidative stress. This helps with dull skin, dry eyes and low immune resistance.

Gentle gut support & balanced metabolism Hemp seed, konjac powder, black fungus and mulberry leaf promote gentle intestinal transit. This prevents heat buildup and constipation, a common issue with many heavy tonic formulas - making this blend nourishing without causing internal heat.

Soothe liver stagnation, lift mood & harmonise circulation Double red rose, Buddha's hand, chrysanthemum and small yellow ginger help ease emotional tension, chest tightness and low mood from chronic stress, harmonising qi flow across the body.

Fight fatigue & raise overall resilience Haematococcus pluvialis (natural astaxanthin), mulberry leaf, polygonatum, black goji berry bring powerful natural antioxidants, helping you recover faster after physical or mental exhaustion and lift long-term sub-health status.

Our Low-Temperature Differentiated Manufacturing: Protect Active Compounds in Cistanche & All Herbs

Many herbal supplements use high-heat processing that breaks down precious active ingredients in Cistanche, polygonatum and berries. Our factory uses segmented pretreatment matched to each herb's unique properties, followed by low-temperature drying to lock in nutrients:

Step 1: Targeted raw material pretreatment

Light stir-fried ingredients (low heat, until lightly golden and fragrant): Black sesame, black soybean, black rice, brown rice, millet, oat, coix seed, malt, walnut kernel, cucumber seed, lettuce seed. Stir-frying removes inherent cold nature for gentler absorption.

Steamed + low-temperature dried ingredients: Polygonatum, Cistanche and Cornus officinalis go through the traditional nine-time steaming and sun-curing process before low-temperature drying; gorgon fruit, lotus seed and pitted red dates are steamed for 20–40 minutes then dried. Steaming transforms harsh raw herbal properties, making them nourishing yet non-irritating.

Cleaned and low-temperature dried ingredients (no stir-fry / no steaming): Chinese yam, poria, astragalus, spine date seed, goji berries, mulberry, lily bulb, kudzu, black fungus, tangerine peel, Buddha's hand, dried papaya, hemp seed, rose, chrysanthemum, mulberry leaf, licorice and yellow ginger.

Direct-add powder ingredients: Seabuckthorn powder, blueberry powder, konjac powder, haematococcus pluvialis powder, eucommia male flower powder.

Step 2 – Step 5: Granulation, low-temp drying, tableting & sterilisation

Combine all pre-treated herbs and mill into fine herbal powder

Mix herbal powder evenly with sorbitol filler, add magnesium stearate, prepare wet granules

Dry wet granules at a controlled temperature of 50–60°C only to avoid thermal degradation of Cistanche's phenylethanoid glycosides and other bioactive compounds

Compress dry granules into uniform press candy tablets

Final irradiation sterilisation for food safety, then packaging

The whole workflow avoids extreme heat, designed specifically to preserve the signature active compounds inside Cistanche and other premium botanicals.
