Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Max's Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal formula that softens hardness and clears masses in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on the classical Nei Xiao Luo Li San (Medical Innovations, Li Gao, 1115 to 1234), this eight-herb formula combines principal hardness-softening herbs (Mu Li, Xia Ku Cao, Xuan Shen, Zhe Bei Mu) with Heat-clearing and Blood-cooling agents (Da Huang, Tian Hua Fen), a Phlegm-transforming and channel-opening herb (Jie Geng), and a swelling-reducing envoy (Bai Zhi) to address Phlegm-Heat accumulation and hardness patterns contributing to nodule formation and physical stagnation. Available in concentrated powder (90g), concentrated capsules (0.2g or 0.5g), standard powder (200g), or teapills (200 count). May be used as needed for up to 3 months. May also be used with Wei Qi Booster under veterinary guidance. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

Max's Formula is an eight-herb formula organized in four functional layers: a principal hardness-softening and nodule-dispersing group (Mu Li, Xia Ku Cao, Xuan Shen, Zhe Bei Mu), Heat-clearing and Blood-cooling deputies (Da Huang, Tian Hua Fen), a Phlegm-transforming and channel-opening herb (Jie Geng), and a swelling-reducing envoy (Bai Zhi):
Max's Formula contains potent Heat-clearing and Blood-invigorating herbs, including Da Huang (Chinese rhubarb root) and Xia Ku Cao (self-heal spike), which may affect hepatic drug metabolism, platelet function, coagulation, and immune function. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses remains limited.
Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs, chemotherapy agents, NSAIDs, cardiac medications, thyroid medications, and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Stop administration immediately if the patient develops diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs, and resume only after consulting your veterinarian. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Max's Formula is indicated in TCVM for Phlegm-Heat accumulation and hardness patterns contributing to nodule formation and physical stagnation. Holistic veterinarians commonly recommend it for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of subcutaneous nodules, lymph node enlargement, or other physical accumulations associated with Phlegm-Heat and Liver Fire, particularly when accompanied by a red or purple tongue with a greasy coat and a wiry, slippery pulse. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate TCVM pattern diagnosis before recommending this formula.
Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the small scoop holds approximately 0.3g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; the large scoop holds approximately 1.2g. For 0.5g concentrated capsules, the guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; for small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Mix the concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Capsules can be given directly or hidden in food. Teapills can be hidden in food or a soft treat. Stop administration immediately if diarrhea, vomiting, or other unusual signs develop, and resume only after consulting your veterinarian.
Yes, Max's Formula may be used in combination with Wei Qi Booster under veterinary guidance. Wei Qi Booster supports the body's defensive Qi and immune function, while Max's Formula addresses the Phlegm-Heat accumulation and hardness patterns underlying nodule formation. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine whether this combination is appropriate for your pet's specific TCVM pattern and will guide dosing and monitoring for both formulas.
Nodule and hardness patterns are typically chronic and slow to resolve, and results vary depending on the severity and duration of the underlying Phlegm-Heat accumulation. Many pet owners begin to notice changes within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. This formula is recommended for up to 3 months, or as directed by your veterinarian; your veterinarian will guide reassessment intervals based on your pet's response and clinical findings.
