Herbal granules are better or tonics

Self-decocting good tonics is better than Chinese medicine granules. Formulated granules can not replace self-decocted tonics, granules are mostly compared with the weight of the extract and the weight of the herbs before extraction, there is dissipation of herbs in the extraction process, due to inconsistencies in the production process, some Chinese medicine formulated granules are serious loss of active ingredients, and specifications of the same species are not uniform.

The inconsistency between the traditional preparation of decoctions and the industrialized extraction methods, and the differences in chemical composition and efficacy between single decoctions and combined decoctions have also resulted in the absence of statutory quality control standards for TCM formulated granules.

The decoction process of traditional Chinese medicine is a dynamic reaction process, and the interactions generated during the decoction process also have a great influence on the efficacy of the medicine, while the production of formulated granules to a certain extent ignores the compatibility of Chinese medicine.
