Frequently Asked Questions

1. I heard that there is a risk of exposure to the Hepatitis A virus from eating clams. Will I risk virus exposure by taking Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam?
No. One can only be infected by the Hepatitis A virus by eating contaminated clams. If the clams are fresh and come from an uncontaminated source, they are actually one of the best foods you can take for your liver. Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam is made of possibly the world’s best Golden Corbicula Clams from the HuaLien province in Taiwan, a pristine, clean and unpolluted land.

2. Seafood is known for its high cholesterol content. Will this product raise my blood cholesterol level?
The cholesterol content of Corbicula Clam is low. In fact, studies show that long term consumption of Corbicula Clam may help lower LDL (bad cholesterol and triglycerides) and raise HDL (good cholesterol). This is because only 20% of cholesterol in our bodies comes from diet. The liver manufactures 80% of it. As Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam promotes healthy liver function, it actually supports the liver in regulating LDL and HDL in optimum ratios.

3. Can I take Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam if I’m allergic to seafood?
Although many people with seafood allergies have no problems taking Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam, you should always exercise caution and check with a medical doctor before taking this product if you have an allergy to shelled seafood.

4. Can children take this product?
Yes. Apart from helping to protect their livers from the chemical additives found in our daily diet, it also provides nutrients necessary for growth and keeps them energetic all day long for better concentration in school. Rich in Taurine, it is great for kids with poor appetite.

5. If clams possess so many health-enhancing benefits, can’t I just cook and consume clams from the market instead of taking this clam supplement?
Yes, but you will need to ensure that the clams from the market are fresh, good quality and obtained from an unpolluted source or risk exposure to the Hepatitis A virus. Furthermore, you would need to consume about 300 - 600 clams a day in order to enjoy their benefits. Plus, the heat from cooking tends to destroy some of the clams’ nutrients. Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam takes away all of the hassle and guesswork. Each tablet contains the goodness of 100 fresh Corbicula Golden Clams. The Corbicula Clams from HuaLien are set apart from the Corbicula Clams from other countries by its golden colour and its superior nutritional value which offers more profound liver-enhancing benefits.

6. I am already taking a Milk Thistle Supplement for liver detox; do I still need to take Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam?
Yes, you are advised to take both Milk Thistle and Corbicula Clams as they complement each other’s function to protect the liver and promote its health. Apart from enhancing liver health, Corbicula Clams also help to increase energy levels, promote male sexual performance, beautify skin, etc.

7. Can I take Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam along with medication?
Yes. You can take it with medication since it is considered a food supplement, and there is no known interaction with medication. However, if you have a serious medical condition or if you have any doubts, please seek a physician’s advice before consuming Oriyen Essence of Golden Clam.
