What we do
Fat Turtle is a full service Chinese Herbal Pharmacy based in Los Angeles, serving TCM practitioners throughout the US and beyond. We offer custom fulfillment of herbal prescriptions in any format. We also stock a variety of patents, topicals and an evergrowing range of products.
Our state of the art system allows you to create custom formulas or choose from tried and true classic formulas all made to order from the most premium herbs available. We offer worldwide shipping and can send formulas to your office or directly to your patients.
Custom Granule Extract Formulas
We carry 332 single herbs and 120 traditional and classic formulas from Sun Ten and other high quality suppliers, allowing you to create bespoke formulas for your patients.
Custom Raw/Bulk Herb Formulas
We carry 332 raw herbs from Spring Wind Herbs, batch tested for over 300 pesticides, fungicides and heavy metals, so that you can be sure that your patients only get the best medicinal effects and no unwanted side effects from contaminants.
Patents and Products
Need to add a common patent or a topical creme to add to your bespoke formula? We have you covered. Just add it to your drop ship order to have it delivered directly to your patient.
After years of searching for quality herbs and ordering from a multitude of suppliers we knew there was a better way to get what we needed for our patients. We were finished with prescribing patent tea pills and formulas pre-made for the masses. Health is achieved through more than that. So a mission was born to create an herbal pharmacy that uses only premium grade herbs, compounded to order in any format, for practitioners of Traditional Herbal Medicine.
"We are here to help you compose safe and powerful formulas, as unique as your patients.”
