Dr. Shen's was founded in 1994 by Joel Harvey Schreck, L.Ac., Betty Albert Schreck, and Noah Schreck in Berkeley California to provide an alternative to imported Chinese herbal medicines which have been used for generations. Unfortunately these imports were also known to contain impurities, be improperly labeled, and made with lesser-grade herbs.

Our purpose was to make a better, safer product using the highest grade herbs, informative labels, modern tableting methods, and containing minimal excipients, with no hidden drugs or additives.

We are dedicated to making the highest quality Chinese medicines that we possibly can using Chinese herbs that we could confidently give to our own kids, family and friends. 

Dr. Shen's are the authentic remedies, only without any drugs, dyes, animal products, or endangered species. We import only whole herbs instead of extracts or powders. By doing so, we can inspect the appearance and quality of our herbs, and insure the correct herb is used.

Fully insured contractors in the U.S.A do all milling, mixing, slurring, baking, tableting, packaging, and testing. This insures accountability as well as a quality product from start to finish. Standardized extracts are rarely used. Each batch is tested for dissolvabililty, mold, harmful bacteria, and heavy metals. Tablets are bound with a proprietary mixture of simple vegetable gums then shaped and coated for easy swallowing.

No sugar coatings, no starches, dyes, drugs, unlisted ingredients, or chemical solvents are used. Endangered species are never used (plant or animal). Dr. Shen's tablets contain no animal products.

All batches meet or exceed World Health Organization standards. 

Dr. Shen's is the safest and most potent Chinese medicine you can buy.
