Product Information
Shan Gen Zhu Wan is a Traditional Chinese Medicine formula traditionally used to support the body in situations related to elevated blood sugar, such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes patterns.
This formula works by supporting metabolic balance from within. Its herbs help nourish Yin, replenish body fluids, and support the Spleen and Pancreas in their role of processing nutrients and maintaining stable energy levels. By restoring moisture and cooling internal heat, Shan Gen Zhu Wan helps relieve persistent thirst, dryness of the mouth and throat, frequent urination, and excessive hunger—common signs associated with blood sugar imbalance.
Rather than acting through stimulation, the formula supports the body’s natural regulatory capacity, helping reduce metabolic strain over time. Its action is gradual and restorative, focusing on rebuilding internal balance and supporting long-term stability.
Shan Gen Zhu Wan is traditionally considered when symptoms such as intense thirst, increased appetite, fatigue, and signs of internal dryness suggest an underlying metabolic imbalance linked to glucose regulation.
Shan Gen Zhu Wan brings together a carefully structured group of herbs traditionally used to support blood sugar balance, nourish internal fluids, and restore metabolic harmony.
Support nourishment of Yin and body fluids, helping relieve thirst, dryness, and internal depletion:
- Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix)
- Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix)
- Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix)
- Yu Zhu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma)
- Huang Jing (Polygonati Rhizoma)

- Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma)

Together, these herbs form a comprehensive formula that supports hydration, metabolic balance, and sustained energy, especially in patterns related to diabetes, excessive thirst, internal heat, and fluid depletion.
Shan Gen Zhu Wan is rooted in the classical principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine related to Xiao Ke, a category historically used to describe patterns of excessive thirst, increased appetite, frequent urination, and internal dryness, concepts that closely resemble what is known today as diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions.
The therapeutic approach behind this formula draws from centuries of clinical observation, particularly from traditions developed after the Han Dynasty, when physicians began to emphasize the role of Yin and fluid depletion combined with internal heat as a central mechanism behind metabolic imbalance.
Although Shan Gen Zhu Wan does not appear as a single named formula in early canonical texts such as the Shang Han Lun, its composition reflects well-established classical strategies: nourishing Yin, generating body fluids, clearing internal heat, and supporting the Spleen’s role in metabolism and transformation.
Over time, these principles were refined and organized into more comprehensive formulas like Shan Gen Zhu Wan, which bring together tonic and clearing herbs to address both the root imbalance and its manifestations.
Today, Shan Gen Zhu Wan represents the continuity of classical Chinese medical thought applied to modern metabolic challenges, preserving traditional wisdom in a practical and balanced formulation.
Shan Gen Zhu Wan offers benefits designed to support people experiencing high blood sugar patterns, such as pre-diabetes and type II diabetes. Its herbal combination works gently and continuously, helping the body restore balance while addressing common discomforts related to elevated glucose levels.
