Each herb in Six Gentlemen serves a specific role within the TCVM framework. The formula combines the Four Gentlemen Qi-tonifying base with two additional herbs to resolve phlegm and dry Damp.
Six Gentlemen contains Qi-tonifying and Damp-drying herbs (Dang Shen, Bai Zhu, Ban Xia, Chen Pi) with known gastrointestinal and immune-modulating 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 immunosuppressive medications, corticosteroids, gastrointestinal medications, or multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether Six Gentlemen is appropriate based on your pet's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Six Gentlemen (Liu Jun Zi Tang) is used to tonify Qi, strengthen the Spleen, transform phlegm, and dry Damp. It is most commonly recommended for dogs, cats, and horses with Spleen Qi deficiency complicated by phlegm and Damp accumulation, including pets experiencing digestive sluggishness, loose stools, reduced appetite, nausea, fatigue, or phlegm-related respiratory symptoms.
Six Gentlemen is available as a concentrated powder (90g) that can be mixed directly into food, as concentrated capsules (0.5g, 100 ct) that can be given whole or opened and mixed into food, or as teapills (200 ct) that can be hidden in food or a soft treat. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific dosing guidance for your pet.
Results vary by individual and condition. Many pets begin to notice improvements in appetite, digestion, energy, and stool consistency within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. For chronic or long-standing Spleen Qi deficiency conditions, you may need several weeks to months of consistent use before evaluating results. Your veterinarian can help set appropriate expectations based on your pet's TCVM diagnosis.
Always consult your veterinarian before combining Six Gentlemen with other medications or supplements. Six Gentlemen is often used as a foundational Qi-tonifying formula in TCVM and is sometimes combined with other formulas to address more complex patterns, but your authorizing veterinarian should always guide combination use. Key interactions to discuss include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and gastrointestinal medications. See the Potential Drug Interactions section above for details.
