Product Notes: Over the years we have had many requests to carry all of the unique formulas of the Min Shan line in the Plum Flower Classic line as well. Many patients find the Plum Flower packaging and labeling more accessible and easier to use, offering greater patient compliance. Still, others may prefer the cost effectiveness and traditional packaging of Min Shan brand. Ming Mu Di Huang Wan and other Min Shan products are currently undergoing repackaging to make the box more user-friendly. The Min Shan version of this product will become available again in the near future. We recommend the Plum Flower Classic version as a substitute in the interim and apologize for any inconvenience.
