What Is Kidney Support Yin Supplement?
Kidney Support Yin Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support Kidney Yin, healthy aging, urinary health, hormonal balance, healthy fluid metabolism, menopausal wellness, and overall vitality.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Kidney Yin represents the body's cooling, moistening, nourishing, and restorative foundation. Kidney Yin helps support healthy aging, cognitive function, bone health, reproductive wellness, fluid balance, and the body's ability to maintain internal harmony. The Kidneys are also considered the root of Yin energy and play a vital role in nourishing the Brain, Bones, Marrow, Ears, and lower back.
When Kidney Yin becomes depleted, the body may experience signs of internal heat and dryness. Individuals may experience night sweats, hot flashes, dry mouth, dry throat, dizziness, tinnitus, lower back weakness, weakness of the knees or legs, frequent nighttime urination, restless sleep, irritability, or a feeling of being overheated, particularly in the evening.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, long-term stress, aging, overwork, chronic illness, inadequate rest, and constitutional weakness may gradually deplete Kidney Yin. This can affect the body's ability to maintain proper nourishment, cooling, hydration, and overall balance.
Kidney Support Yin Supplement is based on classical Chinese herbal principles and contains carefully selected herbs traditionally used to nourish Kidney Yin, support Liver and Kidney function, promote healthy fluid balance, support urinary health, and maintain overall vitality and wellness. This empirical herbal blend is commonly chosen by individuals seeking support for healthy aging, menopausal comfort, nighttime urinary frequency, dryness, heat-related imbalance, lower body weakness, and long-term Kidney Yin replenishment.*

Unlike other herbal supplement companies that use starch, magnesium, and other chemical substances as binders for their supplements, we only use 100% honey. We also avoid using vegetable capsules because they require chemical components to form the capsule shape.
Peak Harvest Herbs
The herbs in our herbal pill blends are harvested at the height of their potency and they are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre-or post-season, but in our view, there is no substitute for premium quality.

Emphasizing prevention over cure is paramount for maintaining this balance. Without health, life can become incredibly challenging. It affects our ability to pursue our goals, enjoy our relationships, and experience daily life to the fullest. Good health forms the foundation for everything else we want to achieve and experience.” - Ann Tam

Ann's Story
Here's my story.
If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.
I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.
When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.
I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.
My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.
I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.
Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?
One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.
We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.
The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.
I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”
“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.
My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”
“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.
Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.
My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.
After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.
Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.
I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.
When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.
After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.

In TCM, the balance between Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang can be likened to the harmony between hot weather and cool weather.
Kidney Yin: Picture Kidney Yin as the cool weather. It represents the nourishing, calming, and moistening aspects of the body's energy. Just as cool weather brings relief and refreshment, Kidney Yin nourishes and moisturizes the body's tissues, regulates fluids, and maintains a balanced internal environment. When Kidney Yin is in balance, it keeps the body's systems functioning smoothly, akin to enjoying the comfort of a cool breeze on a warm day.
Kidney Yang: Conversely, Kidney Yang can be compared to hot weather. It embodies the warming, invigorating, and activating qualities within the body. Similar to how hot weather brings warmth and energy, Kidney Yang fuels metabolism, promotes circulation, and provides the necessary vitality for bodily functions. When Kidney Yang is balanced, it fosters warmth, activity, and vigor throughout the body, much like the energy and vibrancy of a sunny day.
In TCM, maintaining the balance between Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang is essential for overall health and well-being. Just as a harmonious blend of hot and cool weather creates a comfortable environment, a harmonious interplay between Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang ensures optimal physiological functioning.
When there's an imbalance between these two energies, it can lead to various health issues. For example, if Kidney Yin is deficient, it's like experiencing excessive heat without relief, leading to dryness, irritability, and depletion of bodily fluids. Conversely, if Kidney Yang is deficient, it's akin to lacking the warmth and energy needed for proper functioning, resulting in coldness, sluggishness, and weakened metabolic processes.
TCM treatments aim to restore balance between Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang by addressing the root causes of imbalance. This may involve acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, or lifestyle modifications tailored to nourish and support both Yin and Yang energies. By fostering harmony between these vital forces, TCM promotes overall health, vitality, and resilience, much like finding the perfect balance between hot and cool weather for optimal well-being.
