Our Story
The Yingredient Story: Bridging Worlds
At Yingredient, our journey began as more than just a venture to bridge cultures; it was a personal quest for authenticity and quality in the realm of herbal products. Born from the unique perspectives of two immigrants, our mission was deeply rooted in a shared commitment to holistic well-being.
Growing up immersed in the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and herbal superfoods in China, where prevention is emphasized over treatment, one encounters a striking contrast with the Western model, which often addresses illnesses only after they arise. This distinction—that TCM and superfoods places a strong emphasis on preventive care and wellness — served as a spark of inspiration for Yingredient.
"For us, it wasn't just about introducing a product; it was about addressing a personal void we felt in the US – a lack of genuine, high-quality herbal products that authentically reflected the potency and integrity of their origins."
A Vision Realized
Born from a desire for superior herbal solutions. Our vision was clear—to transcend the ordinary, marrying the potent qualities of Traditional Chinese Medicine with our commitment to refined well-being and sustainability, guided by the hands of experts.
Our Daily Reishi Formula is the result of collaboration with esteemed Chinese Medicine experts such as Chris Freeman (MAcOM, Dipl. OM, LAc), Dr. Ann Wang (CMD, LAc), and Maya Merchant (MS/LAc).
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
At the heart of Yingredient is the time-honored medical tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – a thousands-year-old holistic approach to well-being that is still an integral part of hospitals in China and around the world today.
While TCM is a complex and rich practice, the foundation rests on the dynamic interplay of Yin and Yang, two complementary forces that keep our bodies in a harmonious rhythm. Where Yin is cool and nourishing, Yang is warm and stimulating.
When these two forces are balanced and in sync, we thrive.
