KB-C
How it Works
Nature’s Sunshine’s Chinese herbal combinations are based on 5000 years of Chinese herbal tradition. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which includes the use of herbal medicine, continues to provide primary healthcare throughout Asia even in these modern times. KB-C is considered a water formula. The water element in TCM philosophy is related to the kidneys and bladder. Water people are calm, patient and peaceful. The Chinese call this formula jian gu, which can be translated to mean “strengthen the bones.” In TCM water is believed to carry nourishment for the bones and regulate metabolism through the urinary system.
