Master Hoang Khanh Toan, head of the Department of Traditional Medicine at Hospital 108, stated that Hai Loc Tan is the name of an ancient remedy recorded in the “Tian Jia Miao Fang” from China, consisting of 100g of seahorse, 100g of deer antler velvet, 100g of red ginseng, and 30g of cinnamon. The ingredients are dried, ground into powder, and stored in a sealed container, with a daily dosage of 16-20g.
In this remedy, seahorse serves to nourish the kidneys, invigorate yang energy, and promote blood circulation, commonly used to treat nocturnal emissions and diminished sexual capacity. Deer antler velvet supports bone marrow, enriches the blood, and aids in sperm production, often used to treat body weakness, erectile dysfunction, and seminal fluid issues. Red ginseng significantly boosts vital energy, replenishes blood, generates body fluids, and is beneficial for mental clarity. Cinnamon serves to warm the kidney yang and enhance male vitality. Together, these ingredients provide a tonic effect for the kidneys, strengthen essence retention, and support yang energy.
Dr. Lương Tấn Thông, a specialist in traditional medicine and president of the Traditional Medicine Association of Bình Dương Province, mentioned that the sexual enhancement effects of these ingredients have also been confirmed through modern research. For instance, studies from China indicate that seahorse can stimulate the sexual center of the pituitary gland. This ingredient is rich in DHA, which is fundamental for sperm production. Seahorse also enhances overall health and combats fatigue by stimulating red blood cell regeneration and counteracting aging.
Research in Europe has shown that the substance creatine in deer antler velvet extends the duration of intercourse, enhances endurance in physical activities, and aids recovery after stress and exhaustion. This ingredient is also rich in Rantarin, which alleviates anxiety and nervous tension, and contains aphrodisiac properties that boost sexual desire. Deer antler velvet can effectively improve libido issues caused by decreased testosterone levels, commonly seen in men over 40.
Modern studies have also validated that ginseng enhances stamina and prolongs intercourse duration. It helps restore the transmission of nerve impulses, thus treating erectile dysfunction caused by nerve damage in conditions such as diabetes and alcoholism. Furthermore, ginseng acts as a sex hormone stimulant, increasing sexual desire.
According to Dr. Thông, these herbal ingredients not only enhance sexual function but also improve overall health, effectively making men feel “stronger.”
Dr. Thông further noted that the Hai Loc Tan remedy is now available on the market in capsule form containing extracts of the aforementioned four ingredients. This product, Fitôgra-f, from Fitô Pharma, does not provide the temporary erection effects like modern erectile dysfunction medications (such as Viagra or Cialis); instead, it gradually helps men become “stronger” by strengthening the foundational aspects of sexual ability, which is kidney yang (according to Traditional Medicine).
The remedy should not be used by individuals with high blood pressure or minors. Master Hoang Khanh Toan also advises against using Hai Loc Tan for those with yin deficiency syndrome, characterized by symptoms such as thinness, warm skin, hot palms and feet, occasional fever in the evening, dry mouth and thirst, constipation, and dark, concentrated urine.
