Treasure of the East Dioscorea Rhizome - Shan Yao (5:1 Concentrated Herbal Extract Granules, 100g)

What Makes Treasure of the East’s 5:1 Concentrated Extract Special?

Discover Dioscorea Rhizome Shan — This product is a 5:1 concentrated herbal extract, meaning five pounds of raw herb are used to produce one pound of extract, resulting in a potent and convenient form that retains the full spectrum of active compounds. Unlike many extracts that rely on harsh chemical solvents like alcohol, hexane, or acetone, Treasure of the East uses only purified water. Each batch undergoes rigorous laboratory testing for purity and identity in a facility certified to ISO/IEC17025 standards by ILAC-MRA/CNAS, guaranteeing a clean and authentic product.

Moreover, over 95% of their raw herbs are sourced from their regions of traditional origin—a practice known as geo-authentic sourcing. The only exceptions occur when traditional sources cannot meet strict sustainability and quality guidelines. All herbs are free from sulphur preservatives, preserving their natural integrity. With 30 patents protecting their extraction technology, Treasure of the East blends centuries of tradition with modern science to optimise the herb’s benefits.

Why Traditional Sourcing Matters

The quality of an herbal supplement begins with its source. Herbs grown in their native environments often develop higher levels of beneficial compounds. Treasure of the East prioritises geo-authentic sourcing—over 95% of raw materials come from traditional growing regions. For example, Dioscorea Rhizome is traditionally harvested from specific provinces in China known for optimal growing conditions. This attention to origin, combined with water-based extraction, ensures you receive a product that stays true to its heritage.

Shan Yao is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a health care professional before starting a new regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition.

How should I store the granules?

Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture and heat, as granules can clump. Properly stored, they maintain potency for the duration of the expiration date printed on the package.

Can I take this with other medications?

If you are taking prescription medications, it is best to consult your doctor before combining with any herbal supplement. Herbs can interact with certain drugs, so professional advice is essential.
