Description
Rongchen Liu, Jiahui Liu and Linrong Li compare commercial Chinese herbal mixtures for loss of appetite in young children, in a 2026 network meta-analysis. Their search found 141 randomised trials with 16,963 patients and 49 products, drawn from Chinese and international databases up to April 2024.
Different products led on different outcomes, covering overall response, weight gain and haemoglobin levels. Huaji Oral Solution ranked high for overall effect, Erpixing Granules for weight, and Jianbaoling Granules for haemoglobin, in the authors' comparisons against control care. Reported side effects were mostly mild across products. The authors still ask for larger and stronger multi-centre trials before firm advice can rest on these rankings.
