Shenqi Chongcao

Shenqi Chongcao (参七虫草胶囊) is a traditional Chinese medicine capsule formulation that includes ingredients such as fermented Cordyceps fungus powder and Panax notoginseng (Sanqi). It is used primarily for its effects in invigorating qi, nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation, and potentially modulating immune and inflammatory responses. Clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate its efficacy in treating interstitial lung disease (ILD), focusing on inflammation modulation and gene expression related to cell death pathways. The formulation aims at improving symptoms related to lung and kidney deficiencies, fatigue relief, and enhancing physical strength. Its mechanism of action involves multi-target effects typical of herbal combinations but specific molecular targets are not well defined in the literature available.
