What is the difference between a Neo•Concept® formula and other combination formulas?
Among the innumerable differences, there are two crucial distinctions that distinguishes Neo•Concept® herbal remedies.
First, most combination products on the market formulate herbs based on their popularity, rather than on their combined efficacy. At Neo•Concept®, we adhere to the strict formulary guidlines of Chinese herbal medicine, based on the 5,000 years of safe and effective clinical use. This ensures efficacy in every Neo•Concept® product.
Second, most combination products process herbs individually and combine the herbs prior to encapsulation. This method of manufacturing varies the consistency of herbs in each capsule. Unlike most products, Neo•Concept® formulas are manufactured in a modern decoction extract process, which ensures 100% synergized herbal consistency in each capsule.
Do Neo•Concept® herbal remedies contain any additives?
No. Neo•Concept® herbal remedies are 100% herbal extract encapsulated in gelatin. All remedies are FREE of additives, artificial color, preservatives, sugar, wheat, eggs, dairy, gluten, and soy.
Some Neo•Concept® formula contain Licorice. Can the Licorice in the formulas effect blood pressure?
Neo•Concept® formulas are safe to use without increasing blood pressure. Research indicates, high doses of single extract Licorice may increase blood pressure. Since Neo•Concept® formulas contain low quantities of Chinese licorice and are used in combination, they are generally safe for use.
