It is commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of excessive thirst (polydipsia), increased urination (polyuria), weight loss despite normal or increased appetite, dry mouth, or endocrine imbalance associated with Yin deficiency and Heat, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue and a thin, rapid pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Ophiopogon Formula be used alongside conventional diabetes treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOphiopogon Formula is commonly used as part of an integrative approach to diabetes mellitus management in dogs, cats, and horses under veterinary supervision. Because herbs in this formula, including Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena) and Ge Gen (Kudzu Root), may affect blood glucose levels, close monitoring is essential when combining this formula with insulin or other hypoglycemic medications. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate protocol, monitor blood glucose, and adjust conventional medications as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this formula administered to dogs, cats, and horses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix the concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Standard powder (200g or 600g) is administered using the included plastic scoop; one large level scoop holds approximately 7g and one small level scoop holds approximately 2g. Capsules can be given whole or opened and sprinkled over food. For horses, the standard powder is administered as a top dressing on feed at 10 to 20g twice daily. Dosing is based on species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the correct dose and schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Ophiopogon Formula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults vary depending on the severity and chronicity of the Yin deficiency pattern. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in thirst, urination frequency, and energy within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. For chronic Yin deficiency and endocrine conditions, longer-term use is typically recommended; this formula may be used for up to 6 months, and your veterinarian will guide reassessment intervals based on your pet's response, clinical findings, and laboratory results.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-07-24T13:27:47-05:00","created_at":"2026-07-24T13:27:45-05:00","vendor":"Jing Tang","type":"Pet Vitamins \u0026 Supplements","tags":["Els PW 7628","Health_Need_Endocrine","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Capsule","Herb_Type_Concentrated_Powder","Herb_Type_Powder","Jing Tang Ophiopogon","Product_Type_Herb","Species_Cat","Species_Dog","Species_Horse","Vendor_Jing_Tang"],"price":8690,"price_min":8690,"price_max":18980,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":45930454155334,"title":"90g Concentrated Powder","option1":"90g Concentrated Powder","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A3510C-90s","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":5975499341873,"product_id":8486933758022,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-05-14T12:12:19-05:00","updated_at":"2021-09-16T12:30:32-05:00","alt":"Jing Tang Ophiopogon Formula Concentrated 90g Powder -

It is commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses showing signs of excessive thirst (polydipsia), increased urination (polyuria), weight loss despite normal or increased appetite, dry mouth, or endocrine imbalance associated with Yin deficiency and Heat, particularly when accompanied by a red, dry tongue and a thin, rapid pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Ophiopogon Formula be used alongside conventional diabetes treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOphiopogon Formula is commonly used as part of an integrative approach to diabetes mellitus management in dogs, cats, and horses under veterinary supervision. Because herbs in this formula, including Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena) and Ge Gen (Kudzu Root), may affect blood glucose levels, close monitoring is essential when combining this formula with insulin or other hypoglycemic medications. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate protocol, monitor blood glucose, and adjust conventional medications as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this formula administered to dogs, cats, and horses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix the concentrated powder directly into wet or dry food at each meal. Standard powder (200g or 600g) is administered using the included plastic scoop; one large level scoop holds approximately 7g and one small level scoop holds approximately 2g. Capsules can be given whole or opened and sprinkled over food. For horses, the standard powder is administered as a top dressing on feed at 10 to 20g twice daily. Dosing is based on species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the correct dose and schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Ophiopogon Formula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults vary depending on the severity and chronicity of the Yin deficiency pattern. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in thirst, urination frequency, and energy within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use. For chronic Yin deficiency and endocrine conditions, longer-term use is typically recommended; this formula may be used for up to 6 months, and your veterinarian will guide reassessment intervals based on your pet's response, clinical findings, and laboratory results.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
