- Kamwo offers more than 500 raw herbs, more than 1000 granule extracts, and an extensive selection of patent and topical herbal products.
- We fill custom herb herb orders in raw, vacuum packed, loose granule, or capsule form. Premium bulk raw herbs and granules are available, including Pao Zhi selections.
- Kamwo also employs independent US testing facility Eurofins Central Analytical Laboratories, to test our herbs for microbial contaminants, heavy metals (such as Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium), and sulfur, as well as for over 60 pesticide residues, including DDT and BHC.
- Kamwo employs fulltime NCCAOM certified Diplomates in Chinese Herbology, as well as a Western pharmacist supervising prescription services. Every raw herb prescription goes through a six point documented safety and quality check before it is dispensed.
- Kamwo fills granule formulas using our innovative Granule Accuracy Check (GAC) system. This system, including computer software, barcode technology and integrated electronic scale, was specifically designed to address the potential for human error. Each granule formula filled at Kamwo is GAC-ensured to be exact to specification, safe and effective.
- Our raw herbs are carefully selected and verified for correct species and geo-authenticity. Upon receipt, each herb must pass inspection for proper identification, maturity, and high quality. Innovative techniques in preservation and packaging ensure a product free from sulfur dioxide fumigation and other preservatives. Every batch is tested for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbial contamination.
- Our Meridian Pro granule herbs are 5:1 concentration, meaning 1 gram of granules is equal to 5 grams of raw herb. All of our granules use a base of gluten free, maltodextrin which is derived from corn. All formulas are cooked together, not singly, to enhance their synergistic functions. During manufacture, volatile oils of the herbs constituents are reintroduced in the final step to create a potent and effective product. Each bottle includes manufacture date and batch number so that all final products can be traced back to their original sources.
- Teapills are valued for their ease of use and patient compliance, enhancing treatment outcomes. Kamwo offers 175 classic formulas in teapill form. Every batch is tested by our GMP-c manufacturer for heavy metals, microbes, and pesticides.
- Every formula is free from sulfur and preservatives. All results are verified by US independent laboratory testing. All of our Meridian line products exceed GMP standards by including allergen alert information on the label.
