Jiang Zhi Jian Fei Wan - Keep Fit

Jiang Zhi Jian Fei Wan, sold as Keep Fit, is a ten herb Chinese supplement in 500 mg capsules. It is formulated to support overall health and fitness, alongside a sensible diet and regular exercise, by promoting healthy circulation and balanced metabolic function. Think of it as a little Traditional Chinese Medicine help for people already working to get in shape.

Not on its own, and we would rather be straight with you. Keep Fit is traditionally used to support digestion, healthy metabolism, and energy levels alongside diet and exercise. The people who get the most from it are already exercising regularly and watching what they eat, and want extra support with energy and circulation.

The ten ingredients are Chinese hawthorn berry, pine pollen, San Qi ginseng root, astragalus root, fo-ti root, alisma rhizome, capillary artemisia herb, codonopsis root, radish seed, and rhubarb root and rhizome. Several of these are classic Qi tonics, while others are traditionally used to clear heat and dampness and keep digestion moving.

Hawthorn berry goes to the Heart in Chinese medicine. Physically it supports circulation and healthy blood flow, and energetically it is said to soothe the Heart and calm the Shen, or spirit. Most of the other herbs either boost Qi or help clear heat from the body and blood, which is traditionally understood as more energy and less fatigue.

As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules 2 times a day. Many people find it easiest to take them with water at regular times, such as morning and early afternoon, so they fit into an active routine. Stay well hydrated, especially if you are training hard.

Each box holds 20 capsules, so at 2 capsules twice a day one box lasts 5 days. Chinese herbs are usually taken for weeks rather than days before people judge how a formula suits them, so if you plan to use Keep Fit through a training block, it makes sense to order several boxes.

Avoid Keep Fit during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It contains rhubarb root, which can loosen the bowels, and San Qi, which is traditionally used to move blood. If you take blood thinners or any other prescription medicines, check with your doctor first. Stop taking it if you notice loose stools or stomach upset.

No. None of the ten listed herbs is a caffeine source, and it is not a stimulant in the usual sense. The energy support comes from Qi tonics such as astragalus and codonopsis, which in Chinese medicine are said to build stamina gradually rather than giving a quick jolt followed by a crash.
