Kai Kit Wan Classic Prostate Gland Pills | by Yu Lam

Kai Kit Wan is a classic Chinese patent pill made by Yu Lam, also known as Jie Jie Wan, Qian Lie Xian Wan, or Relieve Knotty-Swelling Pill. It has been used for several hundred years and is formulated to support a healthy prostate and urogenital system in men, along with the lower abdomen and lower back. Each bottle contains 180 small pills.

In Chinese medicine Kai Kit Wan is traditionally used to tonify Qi, drain dampness, invigorate the blood, and clear toxins. It is formulated to support normal prostate and urinary function in men, including comfortable, regular urination. TCM links these concerns to a deficiency of Kidney Qi and Spleen Qi combined with dampness and sluggish circulation in the lower body.

Kai Kit Wan contains Phellodendron bark (Huang Bai), red peony root (Chi Shao), Dong Quai root, Chinese smilax (Tu Fu Ling), Sparganium (San Leng), Alisma (Ze Xie), purslane (Ma Chi Xian), European vervain (Ma Bian Cao), creeping saxifrage (Hu Er Cao), Bupleurum (Chai Hu), Cyathula root (Chuan Niu Xi), and Chinese licorice (Gan Cao). The inactive ingredients are water and non-GMO cornstarch.

The suggested usage is 6 pills three times a day with lukewarm water. Chinese patent pills are generally taken consistently over weeks rather than days, so steady daily use matters more than taking extra at once. Spreading the three servings through the day, for example with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, makes it easy to remember.

Each bottle contains 180 pills. At the suggested 6 pills three times daily, that is 18 pills a day, so one bottle lasts about 10 days. Since Chinese formulas are usually taken for several weeks or longer, plan on more than one bottle if you intend to take it as a course.

Both are Yu Lam's Kai Kit prostate gland pills, built on the same traditional approach of supporting Kidney and Spleen Qi and keeping the lower body free of dampness. The premium formula has slight differences in ingredients compared with this classic version. If you are unsure which suits you, compare the ingredient lists or ask a Chinese medicine practitioner.

Kai Kit Wan is intended for adult men and is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It contains blood-moving herbs such as red peony (Chi Shao), Sparganium (San Leng), Dong Quai, and Cyathula, so check with your doctor before taking it if you use blood thinners or other prescription medicines. Urinary changes can have many causes, so have new or worsening symptoms checked by a doctor.

In Chinese medicine the Kidneys govern the lower body and the water passages, and the Spleen transforms fluids and supports energy. When the Qi of these organs weakens, often with age, fluids are thought to collect as dampness in the lower abdomen. Kai Kit Wan pairs herbs that drain dampness and clear heat with herbs that move blood, supporting smooth flow through the lower body.
