APR Nourishing Formula is built on Rehmannia Six (Liu Wei Di Huang Wan) - three Yin tonics balanced by three draining herbs - with Phellodendron bark and Anemarrhena rhizome added as a pair to significantly increase the formula's cooling and Heat-clearing effects for more severe Empty Fire patterns.
APR Nourishing Formula contains several potent Chinese herbs, including strongly Yin-nourishing and Heat-clearing herbs (notably Phellodendron bark and Anemarrhena rhizome) with known endocrine, renal, and metabolic activity. Because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited, pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision.
Extra caution may be appropriate for pets receiving thyroid medications, diabetes medications, urinary medications, immunosuppressive drugs, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether APR Nourishing Formula is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, APR Nourishing Formula (Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan) is traditionally used to nourish Kidney and Liver Yin and clear deficiency Heat. It is an augmented version of Rehmannia Six (Liu Wei Di Huang Wan) with enhanced cooling effects, indicated for patterns of Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency with more severe deficiency Heat, commonly used to support thyroid health, healthy blood sugar, urinary health, and overall vitality in dogs and cats.
APR Nourishing Formula is available in liquid extract (1 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz) or 500mg tablets (60, 120, or 300 count). Liquid can be mixed into food or administered directly; tablets can be given directly or hidden in food. Dosing varies by species and body weight - your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.
Results vary by individual and the severity of the pattern. Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency patterns often require consistent use over several weeks to months before you see significant improvement. Some animals may show earlier improvement in restlessness and heat sensitivity. Your authorizing veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
Always consult your veterinarian before combining APR Nourishing Formula with other medications or supplements. Your authorizing veterinarian will monitor for potential interactions through routine lab work and diagnostic testing. Key interactions to discuss include thyroid, diabetes, and urinary medications. See the Potential Drug Interactions section above for details.
