“…Fu‐Zhu‐Jiang‐Tang (FZJT) tablet, which consists of six well‐known traditional Chinese medicines – Pueraria lobata (PL), Morus alba (MA), Panax notoginseng (PN), Astragalus membranaceus (AM), Momordica charantia (MC) and Cortex lycii (CL) – has been proven to show beneficial effects on patients with type II diabetes.
