KPC's history dates back five generations when Tsai Liang Hai sailed from the Fujan province to a small village in Taiwan in 1892. He brought with him more than 20 years experience of choosing and mastering the art of herbal remedies. In the village he treated the people and shared his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
KPC was established in 1969 and throughout the years has become a trusted manufacturer of high quality traditional Chinese herbs with outstanding awards and certifications.
How are Granules Manufactured?
A decoction is an herbal preparation created by boiling herbs in liquid, usually water, to extract their beneficial properties. In our manufacturing facility, decoctions are created in a rotary extractor. The extractor spins the raw herb materials to mix them together while the temperature is increased to cook the herbs. The resulting decoction liquid can then move on to the next phase of the manufacturing process.
Our manufacturing methodology for herbal formulas mirrors the traditional way of decocting raw herbs together, rather than blending finished single herb granules into a formula after they are made. Decocting all the herbs in a formula together enhances the supplement’s benefits by capturing the synergetic effects of the herbs.
We also ensure the potency of our products by utilizing a patented essential oil restoration and collection process. The volatile oils are collected and reintroduced when the herbs are in the granulation phase.
Once we have a liquid extract, we send it through a state-of-the-art concentration system to create a concentrated paste. The paste travels to a flow coater, where it is sprayed onto minute particles of a base material as the moisture slowly evaporates. When the moisture is gone, we are left with a fine, free-flowing extract granule that can be packaged or further processed into a different format.
How Long Do Granules Last?
Our granules are available in 100g bottles and 200g bottles. The 100g bottle contains approximately a two- to three- week supply, depending on the dosage your practitioner recommends. A 200g bottle contains a four- to six-week supply, again depending on the recommended dose. Once the product is opened, please try to consume it within three months. Our in-house herbalists have decades of experience and are available to answer any questions about prescribing, dosing and taking our granule formulas.
