-
Dried Yam (Henan): Diosgenin repairs gut mucosa (Nutrients. 2023)
Triple-Action Benefits
-
Drain Dampness & Strengthen Spleen
✅ Dampness accumulation: Loose stool/swollen tongue → Poria drains + Gorgon fruit astringes
✅ Spleen deficiency: Indigestion/fatigue → Yam tonifies + Lotus seeds nourish
Clinical data: 28%↑ D-xylose absorption after 4 weeks (J Tradit Chin Med. 2021) -
Anti-Aging & Kidney Support
✅ Kidney instability: Frequent urination/sore back → Gorgon fruit stabilizes essence
Mechanism: 34%↑ serum SOD activity (Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2022) -
Subhealth Recovery
✅ Balances all organ systems → Relieves chronic fatigue
Evidence: Normalized CD4+/CD8+ ratio (Front Immunol. 2023)
