Clear Vessel

This formula is a modification of a research formula for the treatment of high cholesterol and coronary artery disease created by Su Hui and originally published in issue #12, 1992 of Zhong Guo Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Za Zhi (Chinese Nantional Journal of Integrated Chinese-Western Medicine). In issue #6, 1993 of Zhong Yi Yao Yan Jiu (Chinese Medicine & Medicinal Research), Liu Qing-lian et al. demonstrated that the base formula on which Clear Vessel is founded is able to lower total cholesterol and triglycerides while raising high density lipids (HDL). In choosing this base formula and its modifications, Bob Flaws surveyed over 100 research formulas published in Chinese medical journals from the late 1980s to the present (late 2003). Our version is a 12:1 extract.

A current journal had the following citation which supports the rationale for the formula Clear Vessel. Pan Shan-yu, Zhe Jiang Zhong Yi Za Zhi (Zhejiang J. CM), 12, 09, p. 898 on blood lipid metabolism disorders: The disease mechanisms of blood lipid dyscarsias are the liver losing its coursing & discharge [&] the spleen losing its movement & transformation. [Thus] there is inability to divide the clear from turbid. Hence there is unctuous fat, phlegm turbidity, & blood stasis within the blood.
