Hou Gu Mi Xi

An orally bioavailable dietary supplement and a formulation derived from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Shen Ling Bai Zhu San, that can potentially be used to ameliorate spleen deficiency and improve symptoms of digestive disorders. Shen Ling Bai Zhu San is composed of ginseng, tuckahoe, atractylodes, baked licorice, coixenolide, Chinese yam, lotus seed, shrinkage fructus amomi, platycodon grandiflorum, white hyacinth bean, and dried orange peel.
