'Full Component' Formula Granules: Transferring all components from traditional decoctions to herbal formula granules
Beijing Kangren Tang employs advanced full-component extraction and dry granulation technology, achieving 'consistency between single and combined decoction'. Whether single herbs are extracted independently or multiple herbs are decocted together, the final granule component spectrum and efficacy remain consistent, fully restoring the synergistic effects among herbal materials in traditional decoctions. This technology ensures that formula granules have equivalent efficacy to traditional decoctions on a scientific level, achieving standardization and controllability in TCM clinical medication.
| Item | Dry Granulation (Kangren Tang) | Wet Granulation (Most Manufacturers) |
|---|---|---|
| Granulation Method | Directly compress extracted dry powder into granules under pressure without adding binders or excipients | Requires adding binders like starch, dextrin, sucrose to form 'wet soft mass', then dried into granules |
| Excipient Use | 98% of varieties contain no excipients (minimal excipients added only for hard-to-form items like prunes, goji berries), no added sugar, starch or other substances | Contains excipients, typically 5-20% sugar or starch |
| Active Ingredient Retention | Active ingredients completely retained, no loss from high-temperature drying or excipient reactions | High-temperature drying easily damages some heat-sensitive components, excipients may affect dissolution rate |
| Granule Stability | High purity, low moisture absorption, fast dissolution | Sugar and starch easily absorb moisture, easily clump, slower dissolution |
| Taste and Color | Taste close to traditional decoction, naturally darker color | Sweet taste, lighter color |
| Suitable Population | Safe for diabetics and low-sugar dieters | Not suitable for diabetics or those requiring sugar control |
Beyond national standards, introduce infrared fingerprint technology as a distinctive feature of 'Full Component®' formula granules, achieving quality control higher than national standards.
