HDP9 is more than an herbal formula. It also contains powerful, all-natural, unrefined sources of food-based nutrition. We meticulously craft HDP9 from the essences of 81 sprouted seeds, vegetables, medicinal mushrooms, Ayurvedic and Chinese Herbs. Traditional Chinese Medicine respects the integrity of whole food substances. Most of HDP9’s ingredients aren’t even concentrated, so it won’t overload your system in an effort to process it.

The qualities that I describe for each of these herbs come from both standard pharmacopoeia descriptions and traditional functions that have been passed down to me through oral transmission and tradition. I place these descriptions here for your judicious appraisal.

Each of these qualities relates to the herb’s function within HDP9's patent-pending proprietary formula. It is critical to take Chinese Herbs in very specific combinations for them to be safe and effective. Please do not experiment with them on an individual basis, or go through this section like a shopping list, picking out what you like, disregarding what you don’t like and mixing up a formula on your own. It doesn’t work that way. Nor is it wise to only study these herbs one by one and come to conclusions based on that information alone. The synergies involved in the structure of HDP9 are supremely complex. HDP9 is a complete and integrated formula. For the sake of your own health and wellbeing, please respect it.
