In #17. IMMUNE SUPPORT PROTOCOLS the last suggestion is :
"NON-SECRETORS
Codonopsis (Codonopsis lanceolata): 400 mg, 1 capsule, twice daily "
Can anyone tell me about this chinese herb and who sells it. (not one of DR D's products)
I don't think it's the same as radex codonopsis & codonopsis pilosula that I keep finding when I search. |

The most commonly used variety is Codonopsis Pilosula (dangshen), which is used as a milder alternative to ginseng with similar benefits. I went to several sites, which said that Pilosula is commonly used in Chinese Medicine and the related Lanceolata is preferred by the Koreans. I don't know why Dr. D chose one variety over the other.
You can do a search with something like Dang shen benefits and you should come up with a lot of information on the functions of the root. |

Thank you Victoria. Have you used any of the Codonopsis? It would be nice to know why Dr D chose this specific variety. It must be available somewhere. I think i saw recipes for Korean food that use it.  Smart people. |

Yes I take Codonopsis - the Chinese variety (dang shen). I have been using Chinese tonic herbs for 20 years or so. At first I bought the herbs in bulk and made my own brewed tonics. It's easier now to just purchase prepared formulas from companies that I trust - my 'go to' company is Dragonherbs because their quality is very high. Their website has a wealth of information on the individual herbs, as well as the formulas that contain specific ones. I use a few formulas at a time, switching around as I have different needs. Their master herbalists are very helpful by phone. Check out their online catalog of information at dragonherbs.com. |
