2. Can I drink milk while taking Chinese medicine?

It is generally recommended that Chinese medicine should not be taken with milk. This method is unscientific and may reduce important medicinal effects and have adverse effects on physical health. Therefore, it is hoped that everyone who is taking Chinese medicine should pay attention to these principles.

It is not advisable to take tonic Chinese medicine with milk. Many people take tonic medicine, especially some Chinese herbal supplements made into capsules, and take them with milk at breakfast to save trouble. In fact, this way of taking medicine is unscientific.

Generally speaking, the active ingredients in tonic Chinese medicines include sugars, polysaccharides and their derivatives, proteins, peptides and amino acids, trace elements, some organic ingredients such as ginsenosides and various vitamins, volatile oils, organic acids, glycosides, etc. Milk is rich in protein, amino acids, fat, various vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. If taken together, it will react chemically with some organic matter in traditional Chinese medicine to produce some stable and insoluble compounds; and at the same time, the nutrients and effective ingredients in milk and traditional Chinese medicine supplements will be destroyed, making it difficult for the human body to absorb them. What's more, some reaction products may even irritate the human body and cause adverse reactions. Therefore, when taking tonic Chinese medicine in the future, you should be careful not to take it with milk, otherwise it will not only be a waste but may also cause harm to the human body.
