Ku Gua Huang Qi Tang , Momordica & Astragalus Decoction

This formula is a modification of Fang Ji Huang Qi Tang (Stephania & Astragalus Decoction) first found in Zhang Zhong-jings late Han dynasty Jin Gui Yao Lue (Essentials from the Golden Cabinet). The main modifications are by Wang Qi and Li Ying-shuai from the Beijing Chinese Medical University. The formula is based on their long clinical experience in treating metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance. These modifications consist of eliminating Sheng Jiang (uncooked Rhizoma Zingiberis), Da Zao (Fructus Jujubae), and Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) and adding Cang Zhu, He Ye. Pu Huang, Ji Nei Jin, Ju Hong, Shan Zha, and Da Huang. Bob Flaws has then substituted Ku Gua for Fang Ji (Radix Stephania Tetrandrae) due to that ingredients possible substitution by some aristolochic acid containing species and in order to make this formulas hypoglycemic effect even more pronounced. Our version is a 10: 1 extract in 500mg capsules.
