Yunnan-Baiyao and Racehorse doping laws

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

QUESTION: Is there anything in Yunnan Baiyao that would be classed as

a banned substance in human athletic competition or in horse / dog

racing?

 

I would appreciate a rapid response as a client needs this info ASAP.

 

Whether used orally or topically, Yunnan Baiyao is said to be one of

the best formulas available against trauma**, to Stop Bleeding**,

Disperse Blood Stagnation, Clear Toxin, Lessen Swelling, Vulnerary /

Heal Wounds, Engender Tissue & Ease Pain.

 

It is difficult to get exact details of the ingredients in Yunnan

Baiyao. Also, different companies use different ingredients in their

version of the formula.

 

Below are the ingredients and ratios in one version of Yunnan Baiyao:

 

77.0 Sanqi / Tianqishen-Rx Notoginseng

6.6 Sanyucao-Clarke´s Hb

5.0 Shanyao / Shanyao (Huai)-Rz Dioscoreae Oppositae

3.9 Chuanshanlong / Bixie-Rz Dioscoreae Nipponicae / Hypoglaucae

2.7 Laoguancao / Laohecao-Hb Erodii Stephaniani / Hb Geranii

2.3 Gaoliangjiang / Kuliangjiang-Rz Alphiniae Officiari

1.9 Niudan (Bai)-Fel Bovis

0.6 Bingpian / Shexiang-Borneolum / Moschus

 

Sanqi-Rx Notoginseng is the main ingredient (77% of formula weight in

the example above).

 

Note that Bingpian / Shexiang are aromatics; could these show on a

dope test?

 

Note also that the formula has circa 8.9% of Yam powder. Yam is known

to have steroid precursors and progesterone- / oestrogen- & anabolic-

type effects. Would these show on a dope test?

 

One trial compared the effects of Sanqi versus Yunnan Baiyao on

clotting time after experimental venesection in lab animals, BOTH

treatments markedly shortened clotting time but there was no

significant difference between Sanqi and the complete formula. This

suggests that Sanqi may be as effective as the complete formula to

stop bleeding.

 

If the Yams and Aromatics in Yunnan Baiyao pose a problem re dope

tests, do you see any reason why Sanqi alone might not be used to

prevent bleeding?

 

Many thanks,

 

 

PS: I do not know what ingredients are in the little red pill

(usually reserved for severe trauma with shock). Do you know?
