Dr. Mao belongs to the 38th generations of Chinese medicine doctors in the Ni family, with a legacy dating back 1300 years. His life’s work has been centered around preserving and sharing his family’s expertise in the healing arts with the modern world. The adaptogenic herbal formulations that he created for ACTUAL BEING™ are based on proprietary herbal formulas passed down in his family through many generations and which both modern research and experienced Chinese medicine practitioners have confirmed to be effective.

These herbs are raised on multi-generational family farms that practice sustainable growing and harvesting. The farms are far from industrialized cities — some sitting 9,000 ft. above sea level — providing our herbs with an ideal climate in which to naturally thrive. These herbs are wild grown and harvested at their ideal age, thus maximizing their adaptogenic properties.

Advanced extraction techniques are used to process the raw herbs into clean and potent liquids and powders with high efficacy and concentration. Extensive quality assurance tests are conducted on the soil, water, seed and nutrients to ensure that these products are free from heavy metals, contaminants and pesticides – consistently producing the highest quality and purity.
