DAN SHEN LIQUID FAQSCommon Questions About Dan Shen Liquid Extract
What is MediHerb Dan Shen 1:2 Liquid Extract?

It is a concentrated single-herb liquid extract prepared from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza. The 500 mL format is intended primarily for practitioner dispensing, individual prescribing and professional herbal compounding.

What is Dan Shen traditionally used for?

Dan Shen is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support healthy circulation and cardiovascular function. It should remain practitioner-guided because suitability depends on blood pressure, bleeding risk, medicines and wider health history.

Is Dan Shen a finished cardiovascular formula?

No. It is a single-herb liquid extract rather than a complete multi-herb cardiovascular formula. A practitioner may prescribe it alone or combine it with other compatible liquid extracts.

What does the 1:2 extract ratio mean?

The 1:2 ratio describes the concentration used when preparing the extract. It means one part of starting herbal material is used to produce two parts of finished liquid extract.

How much Dan Shen Liquid Extract should be taken?

The listed adult dosage is 25–50 mL per week, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner. This is a weekly amount and must not be mistaken for a daily dosage.

Does Dan Shen Liquid Extract contain alcohol?

Yes. It contains 45% ethanol, which is used during extraction and preservation. Speak with your practitioner before use if an alcohol-containing preparation is unsuitable for you.

Can Dan Shen be taken with warfarin or blood-thinning medicines?

Dan Shen should not be combined with warfarin unless specifically managed by the prescribing doctor. Interactions involving increased INR, excessive anticoagulation and bleeding have been reported. Professional review is also important with aspirin, heparin, clopidogrel and other products that affect bleeding.

Can Dan Shen be taken with blood pressure or heart medication?

Professional review is essential. Dan Shen may interact with blood pressure medicines, beta-blockers, digoxin and other cardiac medicines and could contribute to low blood pressure, altered heart rate or changes in medicine effects.

Can Dan Shen be used during pregnancy or with heavy periods?

Dan Shen is contraindicated during pregnancy. It should also be used cautiously or avoided where heavy menstrual bleeding or another bleeding tendency is present. Breastfeeding use requires specific professional review.
