TCM Perspectives and VerdantGuard's Care Plan
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, "the kidney is the congenital foundation, governing essence storage, water metabolism, bone growth, and marrow production." The kidney is like the body's "energy reserve warehouse," in charge of the basic substances of life activities and water metabolism, and is also closely related to bone strength and energy levels. For people with a high-salt, high-protein diet, who stay up late for a long time, and lack exercise, the signs of kidney dysfunction are often more prominent and require extra attention.
Typical Signs of Poor Kidney Function, Hiding TCM "Kidney Function Signals"
Soreness and Weakness in the Waist and Knees, and Fatigue: Manifestations of Insufficient Kidney Essence and Malnourished Marrow
Many people, due to long-term sitting at work, lack of exercise, and frequent staying up late, often feel soreness and weakness in the waist and knees — bending down to tie shoelaces makes the waist ache, and the knees feel weak when climbing stairs, as shown in the following picture depicting soreness and weakness in the waist and knees:

From the perspective of TCM, this is a typical manifestation of "kidney essence deficiency." The kidney governs bone growth and marrow production. Insufficient kidney essence leads to inadequate nourishment of the marrow, causing the bones, waist, and knees to lose support, resulting in general fatigue and a constant feeling of low energy, which is difficult to recover even after 8 hours of sleep.
Frequent Urination, Urgency, and Edema: Reactions of Insufficient Kidney Yang and Disordered Water Metabolism
People prefer a high-salt diet, such as hamburgers, bacon, and pickled products, and often drink carbonated drinks, which can easily increase the burden of water metabolism on the kidneys, leading to frequent urination and urgency — frequent trips to the toilet during the day, and getting up 2-3 times at night, affecting sleep; at the same time, there is lower limb edema, with puffy eyelids when waking up in the morning, and thicker ankles in the evening, with the indentation remaining for a long time after pressing, as shown in the following picture depicting edema:

TCM believes that this is the result of "kidney yang deficiency" and "internal retention of water-dampness." Kidney yang is like the "motivator of water metabolism." Insufficient yang cannot properly vaporize and transform water, leading to water-dampness retention in the body and causing these discomforts.
Premature Graying and Hair Loss: Manifestations of Kidney Essence and Blood Insufficiency, as Hair Reflects Kidney Status
Many young people have premature graying hair, receding hairlines, and sparse hair on the top of the head, as shown in the following picture depicting premature graying and hair loss:

TCM emphasizes that "hair reflects the status of the kidney." The moisture and density of hair depend on the nourishment of kidney essence. Deficiency of kidney essence leads to insufficient essence and blood to nourish the hair, resulting in premature graying and fragile, easy-to-fall hair, which is also a "warning signal" sent by the kidneys to the body.
Increased Night Urination and Decreased Sexual Function: Warnings of Kidney Failure to Consolidate and Decline of Vital Gate Fire
In the population, increased night urination is relatively common. Some people get up more than 3 times a night, seriously affecting sleep quality; men may experience decreased sexual function, while women may show energy decline and low mood. From the perspective of TCM, this is mostly caused by "kidney failure to consolidate" and "decline of vital gate fire." The kidney is responsible for consolidation. If it fails to consolidate, urination becomes uncontrolled. Insufficient vital gate fire affects sexual function and energy, as shown in the following picture depicting increased night urination affecting sleep:

Following TCM "Tonifying Kidney and Consolidating Essence" Concept, VerdantGuard Empowers Kidney Health
Facing these problems caused by kidney dysfunction, TCM emphasizes the conditioning principles of "tonifying kidney and replenishing essence, warming yang and promoting diuresis, and consolidating kidney qi," aiming to restore the kidney's function as the "congenital foundation" from the root. VerdantGuard dietary supplement oral liquid is precisely formulated based on this concept, with natural herbal essences.
The food-medicine homologous ingredients contained in the product are all classic choices in line with TCM kidney-tonifying theory, regarded as good products for nourishing the kidneys in TCM classics. These ingredients can work synergistically to care for the kidneys from three dimensions: "replenishing," "promoting diuresis," and "consolidating": replenishing kidney essence to improve soreness and weakness in the waist and knees and hair problems; warming yang and promoting diuresis to reduce edema and frequent urination; consolidating kidney qi to relieve increased night urination and energy decline.
It is like a "TCM conditioner" suitable for people's constitutions, conforming to the physiological characteristics of the kidneys, helping them restore the normal function of "storing essence and governing water," thereby improving various problems caused by poor kidney function.
