The Dragon and Tiger Rendan, or medicinal pill, has as long a history as its brand, as Huang Chujiu started manufacturing Rendan in 1911 with his own Traditional Chinese Medicine prescription. The pearl-shaped medicine is widely used for refreshing the mind, cooling the heat, stopping nausea, etc.
"One of our employees started to take Rendan twice a day at 15, when he entered our company. And he lived for more than 100 years," Ding said.
Although there is no medical proof of a direct relationship between the Rendan and the employee's longevity, it certainly couldn't have hurt, added Ding.
