Yang Yanhui, Chairperson of newbeloved Agriculture, formally became a disciple of Professor Hu Weiqin, the 91yearrenowned TCM master. Committed to inheriting the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, he opened a new chapter for TCM heritage.

Professor Hu Weiqin, recipient of the Special Government Allowance from the State Council, once served as a senior healthcare physician for centralleadership figures including Zhu De, Hua Guofeng and Li Xiannian. He is a towering figure in integrated traditionalwesternmedicine treatment for chronic conditions such as diabetes, and a firm advocate of the TCM philosophy of preventive treatment before disease onset. His original diagnostictherapeutic approaches seamlessly combine classical TCM theories with modern medical technologies, yielding outstanding outcomes in diabetes prevention and management. Countless patients have regained quality of life through his innovative “Threestep Tiered Therapy”.

At the apprenticeship ceremony, Professor Hu spoke highly of the Momordica charantiabased products developed by Yang Yanhui and newbeloved Agriculture. As a medicinalandedible homology herb rich in charantin, polypeptides, alkaloids and other bioactive compounds, Momordica charantia shows great potential in modulating insulin secretion and improving glucose metabolism. Research indicates its insulinlike activity supports glycemic management. Nevertheless, scientific purification and proper formulation are critical to unlocking its full benefits.

The newbeloved team ingeniously merges timehonoured TCM wisdom with modern biotechnologies. It preserves natural bioactive constituents of Momordica charantia while greatly boosting its practical application value via innovative processing techniques. This perfectly embodies the TCM development ethos of “valuing both inheritance and innovation”, earning high recognition from Professor Hu.
