Choose Your Form Factor
Our products are available in highly concentrated liquid extracts, tablets, and capsules. While liquid extracts are the most bioavailable form of delivery available, we understand the convenience of tablets as a method of dosage. After all, the majority of Kan Traditionals formulas have been administered in pill or powder form for centuries. Water decoctions have become popular only in the past hundred years.
Whichever form you prefer, we offer multiple size options to fit your clients’ needs.
Testing for Safety
Once the herbs we use in our products have passed our initial Quality Control requirements, we test them for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbiological contaminants.
To demonstrate the safety, purity, consistent composition, and quality of all of our finished products, Certificates of Analysis are available online for every Kan product. To assure that the potency and purity you expect is in every bottle, we follow stringent manufacturing controls that meet or exceed recognized current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) set forth by the USFDA.
Ensuring Quality
We are deeply and relentlessly committed to quality. We test our ingredients in independent US laboratories and assemble, manufacture, and test our final products at our facility in Santa Cruz, CA. Certificates of Analysis showing the results of our rigorous quality testing are available online for every single product we have produced.
Traditional & Modern
We are a modern US company that honors tradition while advancing innovation. Founded in 1987 to ensure that safe herbal products manufactured in the US were available to practitioners across the country, our TCM practitioner founders wanted to be certain that the quality and potency of the products they recommended met their high standards.
Today, we uphold their legacy by manufacturing traditional and modern formulas steeped in wisdom handed down for centuries. Get started with the Kan Traditionals line of products.
In Service to Practitioners
We are committed to being a partner you can count on — beyond what goes into the bottle. Product information, clinical recommendations, dosage data, contraindications, and drug-herb interactions are all part of our expert consultation services.
All of our consultants are licensed in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology, and are practitioners who are experts in the science that supports our products and the practical aspects of their use. They stand ready to assist you with all of your Chinese herb-related questions.
