Jing Tang Tendon Ligament Formula Teapills #200  - TCVM Pet Supply

Jing Tang Tendon Ligament Formula Chinese Herbal Formula for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Jing Tang Tendon Ligament Formula is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formula that nourishes Liver Yin and Blood to support the health and resilience of tendons and ligaments in dogs, cats, and horses. Based on a modification of the classical Bu Gan Qiang Jin San (Zhuang Jin Jian Fang), this twelve-herb formula addresses the root of connective tissue weakness by replenishing the Liver Blood and Yin that nourish and maintain the tendons, while also warming and invigorating circulation to support structural integrity and mobility. Available in concentrated powder, concentrated capsules, standard powder, and teapills. Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation.

What It Supports

  • Tendon and ligament health: Nourishes the Liver Blood and Yin that govern tendon and ligament health in TCVM, supporting structural integrity, flexibility, and resilience in active pets and horses.
  • Liver Yin nourishment: Replenishes Liver Yin deficiency that underlies tendon dryness, stiffness, and reduced elasticity in connective tissues.
  • Liver Blood nourishment: Replenishes Liver Blood to ensure tendons and ligaments are adequately nourished and supported at rest and during activity.
  • Musculoskeletal comfort: Supports pets experiencing stiffness, reduced range of motion, or discomfort associated with Blood and Yin deficiency affecting the tendons.
  • Circulation support: Invigorates Blood and warms the channels to promote healthy circulation to connective tissues and support recovery.

TCVM Principles

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Tendon Ligament Formula combines a Liver Blood and Yin-nourishing base with warming, circulation-invigorating, and tendon-strengthening herbs to address both the root deficiency and the functional support of connective tissues:

  • Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia glutinosa), Prepared rehmannia root: Strongly nourishes Blood and replenishes Yin, providing the foundational substance for Liver Blood and tendon nourishment.
  • Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Dong quai root: Nourishes and invigorates Blood, promotes circulation, and moistens dryness associated with Liver Blood deficiency.
  • Bai Shao Yao (Paeonia lactiflora), White peony root: Nourishes Blood, softens the Liver, and supports smooth Blood flow to the tendons and connective tissues.
  • Gou Qi Zi (Lycium chinensis fructus), Goji berry: Nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin and Blood, brightens the eyes, and supports the Liver's ability to nourish the tendons.
  • Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus officinalis), Asiatic cornelian cherry fruit: Tonifies Liver and Kidney Yin, consolidates Essence, and supports the structural integrity of tendons and ligaments.
  • Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Sichuan lovage rhizome: Invigorates Blood, moves Qi, and ensures the nourishing herbs circulate effectively to the tendons and connective tissues.
  • Chuan Niu Xi (Cyathula officinalis), Cyathula root: Invigorates Blood, expels Wind-Damp, and guides the formula's actions downward to the hind limbs and lower body tendons.
  • Gui Zhi (Cinnamomum cassia), Cinnamon twig: Warms the channels, unblocks Yang, and promotes circulation of Qi and Blood through the tendons and joints.
  • Sang Zhi (Morus alba), Mulberry twig: Expels Wind-Damp, unblocks the channels, and supports tendon and joint flexibility, particularly in the limbs.

  • Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea corylifolia), Psoralea fruit: Tonifies Kidney Yang, strengthens tendons and bones, and supports the Kidney's role in governing structural integrity.

Potential Drug Interactions

Tendon Ligament Formula contains Blood-nourishing and Blood-moving herbs (Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong, Chuan Niu Xi) alongside Yang-warming herbs (Gui Zhi, Bu Gu Zhi, Yin Yang Huo) that may interact with certain medications. Pets on prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision, as herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats remains limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, hormone-modulating drugs, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs or corticosteroids), and pets managing multiple concurrent prescriptions. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your pet's condition, current medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions is Tendon Ligament Formula used for in TCVM?

Tendon Ligament Formula is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with TCVM patterns of Liver Blood and Yin deficiency affecting the tendons and ligaments. Holistic veterinarians frequently prescribe it for pets experiencing tendon or ligament weakness, stiffness, reduced flexibility, or slow recovery from connective tissue injuries rooted in Liver Blood deficiency failing to nourish the tendons. It is also used for active or athletic animals as ongoing support for connective tissue health and resilience. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.

How is Tendon Ligament Formula administered, and what are the recommended doses?

Dosing varies by species, body weight, and health condition; your authorizing veterinarian will determine the appropriate dose following a TCVM evaluation. For dogs and cats using 0.5g concentrated capsules, the general guideline is one capsule per 20 to 40 lbs of body weight twice daily. For small dogs and cats under 10 lbs, one 0.2g capsule once daily is typical. For the 90g concentrated powder, the dose for dogs and cats is 0.1g to 0.25g per 10 to 20 lbs twice daily, with the included small scoop holding approximately 0.25g. For horses, the standard dose is 3g (approximately 2.5 large scoops) twice daily.

How long does it take to see results with Tendon Ligament Formula?

Response time varies depending on the individual pet, the severity of the Liver Blood and Yin deficiency pattern, and the format used. Many pet owners begin to notice improvements in flexibility, comfort, and mobility within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. The manufacturer recommends use as needed for up to 6 months. For chronic or long-standing connective tissue conditions, your veterinarian may recommend a longer course of treatment before evaluating results. Regular follow-up with your holistic veterinarian is recommended to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.

Can Tendon Ligament Formula be combined with other TCVM formulas or medications?

Tendon Ligament Formula is sometimes used alongside other TCVM formulas as part of a comprehensive musculoskeletal support protocol, but combination use should always be guided by your authorizing veterinarian. If your pet is on prescription medications, particularly anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants, or hormone-modulating drugs, your veterinarian will evaluate whether Tendon Ligament Formula is appropriate given your pet's full health picture and current treatment plan. The manufacturer lists no contraindications or warnings for this formula.

Still walking two miles a day.

My almost 15 year old dog is still walking 2 miles a day with me. I know she wouldn’t be able to do this without Concentrated Tendon Ligament and Body Sore.

Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review. This spreads awareness about Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and we appreciate it! I'm so glad to hear your senior dog is comfortable and happy and can walk so far. Thank you for trying our herbs and we appreciate your business. Sincerely, Samantha

Product that works

My vet recommended and supplied this and I was amazed at the results. Our dogs is a young dog with a pretty bad injury. It works great as long as you follow your vet's instructions as far as walks / playtime etc.
Wish it wasn't so pricey though.
