HERB GUARD — herbal recovery for shrimp hepatopancreas in 5 – 6 days

Concentrated plant Sorbitol (min 230,000 mg/L) — drives bile secretion, rebuilds liver lipid membranes, especially powerful in parasite-affected ponds.

While HEPA PRO focuses on liver detoxification, HERB GUARD is a concentrated herbal liquid centered on rebuilding the structure and color of the hepatopancreas. Before-and-after images at day 2 and day 5-6 of HERB GUARD have become a classic reference in Vietnamese shrimp farming: from atrophied dark liver to a full, sharp-bordered, glossy organ.

1. Why HERB GUARD shines on parasite-damaged livers

When parasites (gregarine, microsporidian) attach to the hepatopancreas, they tear down the lipid bilayer — the shell softens, muscle turns opaque, and shrimp darken. HERB GUARD's concentrated Sorbitol strongly activates bile-secreting enzymes and lipid membrane resynthesis — that's why farmers consistently see the liver “gather back,” with crisp liver-gut borders, after just 5 – 6 days of correct dosing.

2. Dosage — by liver condition

Mix with clean water, blend into feed, coat with ATOMIC, dry 20 min:

  • Strengthen / stabilize liver: 5 – 7 ml/kg feed.
  • Detox support / color recovery: 7 – 10 ml/kg feed.
  • Severely damaged liver: cut feed ≥ 50% + feed 7 – 10 ml/kg + broadcast 1 kg/1,000 m³. Repeat after 1 – 2 days.
  • Parasite combo: 10 – 15 ml HERB GUARD + 10 ml CALPHOS GRO/kg, twice a day.

3. Field observations — before and after

Than Vuong's technical archive shows:

  • Before: dark/greenish-black liver, blurred borders, micro-dots, black spots on shell.
  • Day 2 – 3: liver begins to consolidate, color brightens, shrimp resume feeding.
  • Day 5 – 6: full liver, sharp liver-gut border, shell spots gone, near-complete recovery.

4. When HERB GUARD beats HEPA PRO

The two complement rather than replace each other. Choose HERB GUARD when:

  • Visible structural liver damage (atrophy, darkening, lost borders).
  • Suspected parasite infection — gregarine, microsporidian.
  • Fast recovery needed before the next molting cycle.
  • Soft shell, opaque flesh, poor mineral absorption.

5. Storage & notes

Invert and shake well before use (concentrated formulas settle). Reseal immediately. Store dry, cool, out of sunlight, ≤ 30°C. Pair with high DO and toxic gas treatment so the liver can actually clear toxins.

📋 Official dosage from product label

Verbatim from the HERB GUARD (1 kg (Mã tiếp nhận: 01000539)) label — synced with the product page to avoid drift.

Ingredients: Sorbitol (extracted from plant sources), Preservative (Sodium Benzoate), Solvent (distilled water).
Directions & dosage:

Dilute the product with clean water as needed, mix thoroughly into the feed, coat with ATOMIC product or suitable coating product, and allow to dry for 20 minutes before feeding to shrimp. To strengthen and stabilize hepatopancreatic health: 5 - 7 ml/kg feed. To support toxin elimination and improve hepatopancreatic color: 7 - 10 ml/kg feed. When shrimp show signs of poor hepatopancreatic health, reduce feeding by at least 50%, and administer 10 – 15 ml/kg feed. After 1 – 2 days, repeat the same dosage to optimize hepatopancreatic stability for shrimp. Notes: Invert and shake the product thoroughly before use. Dosage may be adjusted depending on shrimp health status and actual farming conditions. Seal the bottle/container immediately after use if the product is not completely consumed.

Label benefits:
  • Enhance pancreatic and hepatic function to maintain liver health and limit liver problems.
  • Improve the color and condition of the hepatopancreas, stimulate bile secretion and digestive enzymes.
  • Maintain stable liver and pancreas function, enhance shrimp immunity, and promote toxin elimination.
