What is Tiens Beneficial Capsule used for?
Tiens Beneficial Capsule is a herbal food supplement for adults who want daily cardiovascular and antioxidant support. Each 0.3g capsule combines carrot powder, gynostemma (jiaogulan) extract, tea polyphenol and vitamin C. Tiens gives the product’s health care effect as: “Promotes cardiovascular health.” Tiens adds that these claims have not been evaluated by NAFDAC.
That single line is why most people search for this product. It sits in the same part of a wellness routine as a daily antioxidant capsule or a heart-support supplement — something taken consistently rather than occasionally, alongside a balanced diet. Vitamin C carries two authorised EU and UK nutrition claims that speak to that intention: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, and vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Recs-Medix has been an authorised Tiens distributor in Nigeria since 2017. Every bottle is dispatched factory-sealed, NAFDAC registered, with same-day delivery in Lagos and Abuja, Payment on Delivery nationwide and DHL Express worldwide.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

How do the four active ingredients work together?
Each capsule pairs one measured nutrient with three whole-plant materials. Vitamin C carries the authorised nutrition claims; carrot powder, gynostemma extract and tea polyphenol supply the plant compounds the formula was built around. A serving of four capsules delivers 24mg of vitamin C — 30% of the EU and UK Nutrient Reference Value — which is above the 15% threshold a nutrient must reach before a claim may be made for it.
Vitamin C is water-soluble and the body holds no large reserve of it. The usage directions divide the intake into three servings of four capsules, and across the full day that comes to 72mg of vitamin C, which is 90% of the EU and UK NRV and about 80% of the US Daily Value (calculated).
At that level, vitamin C also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
The three plant materials are food ingredients rather than nutrients with reference values, so no nutrition claim is authorised for them. What can be said accurately is what they are: carrot powder is the whole dried vegetable; gynostemma extract is prepared from the aerial parts of the jiaogulan vine; and tea polyphenol is the refined polyphenol fraction of the tea leaf.
What are the key benefits of Tiens Beneficial Capsules?
- Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels — the authorised claim most relevant to a cardiovascular routine.
- Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress — daily antioxidant support for adults.
- Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue — support for people with demanding schedules.
- Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping the body release energy from food.
- Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system as part of a balanced diet.
- Supplies gynostemma (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) extract, the herb known in southern China as jiaogulan.
- Uses dried whole carrot powder as its carotenoid source, at 262.5mg per capsule.
- 150 capsules per bottle — twelve full days at the usage directions (calculated).
What is inside each Tiens Beneficial Capsule?
Carrot powder (Daucus carota) — 262.5mg
Carrot powder is the largest single component of the formula, making up 87.5% of each 0.3g capsule (calculated). It is dried, milled whole carrot — the same vegetable eaten worldwide, reduced to a powder so it can be encapsulated at a consistent weight. Carrots are the food most associated with carotenoids, the orange-yellow plant pigments that include beta-carotene. As a whole-food ingredient, it is declared by weight rather than by carotene content.
Herba Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract — 22.5mg
Gynostemma, known as jiaogulan, is a climbing vine from the same botanical family as cucumber and melon. It grows in the mountainous south of China, where the leaves have been prepared as a daily tea for generations. Its characteristic compounds are gypenosides — saponins structurally related to the ginsenosides found in ginseng, which is why jiaogulan is sometimes described as southern ginseng.
Tea polyphenol — 7.5mg
Tea polyphenol is the refined polyphenol fraction of Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. Polyphenols are the plant compounds that give green tea its distinctive character, and catechins are the best known group among them. At the usage directions this product supplies 90mg of tea polyphenol across the day (calculated from the per-capsule figure).
Vitamin C — 6.0mg
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the one ingredient in the formula with a declared nutrient quantity, and therefore the one that carries authorised nutrition claims. At 24mg per four-capsule serving it reaches 30% of the EU and UK Nutrient Reference Value; across the full day’s usage it reaches 90% (calculated). Vitamin C also increases iron absorption from plant foods eaten at the same time, which matters if you eat mostly rice, beans, greens and other non-meat iron sources.
Magnesium stearate — 1.5mg
Magnesium stearate is a standard capsule processing aid used in small quantities to keep powder flowing evenly during filling, so each capsule receives the same weight of material.
What does a serving of Tiens Beneficial Capsule provide?
The usage directions define one serving as four capsules, taken three times a day. The serving column below is the per-capsule figure multiplied by four; the daily column is the per-capsule figure multiplied by twelve.
| Ingredient | Per capsule (0.3g) | Per serving (4 capsules) | Per day (12 capsules) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrot powder (Daucus carota) | 262.5mg | 1,050mg | 3,150mg |
| Herba Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract | 22.5mg | 90mg | 270mg |
| Tea polyphenol | 7.5mg | 30mg | 90mg |
| Vitamin C | 6.0mg | 24mg (30% NRV) | 72mg (90% NRV) |
| Magnesium stearate | 1.5mg | 6mg | 18mg |
| Total capsule weight | 300mg | 1.2g | 3.6g |
Net weight: 0.3g × 150 capsules. NRV = Nutrient Reference Value used in the EU and UK; the vitamin C NRV is 80mg. Against the US Daily Value of 90mg, a serving provides 27% and a full day provides 80%. Serving and daily columns are calculated from the per-capsule quantities and the usage directions. No reference value is established for carrot powder, gynostemma extract, tea polyphenol or magnesium stearate.
How do you take Tiens Beneficial Capsules?
Take 4 capsules orally, three times daily, with warm water. That is 12 capsules across the day and a serving at three separate points — most people fit this to breakfast, mid-afternoon and evening. Keep the timing consistent from day to day, and do not exceed the usage directions unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
At that usage a 150-capsule bottle covers twelve full days, with six capsules remaining (150 ÷ 12 = 12.5; calculated). DHL charges by parcel rather than by bottle, so customers ordering from outside Nigeria usually add more than one bottle to a single shipment and pay the delivery cost once. Within Nigeria, Payment on Delivery lets you order what you need and pay when the parcel reaches you.
How do you get the best from a daily antioxidant routine?
Consistency does more than dosage size. Take the capsules at the same three points each day, follow the usage directions on the bottle rather than doubling up after a missed serving, and keep them somewhere you will see them.
Pair the routine with the basics that carry most of the load: vegetables and fruit at most meals, oily fish or another omega-3 source, salt kept moderate, movement most days, and sleep protected. Vitamin C increases iron absorption, so taking a serving alongside a plant-based meal helps you get more iron from it.
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
Beneficial Capsule or Antilipemic Tea — which one suits you?
These are the two Tiens products that customers building a heart-focused routine most often weigh against each other. Both contain gynostemma. The difference is the format and how it fits your day.
| Beneficial Capsule | Antilipemic Tea | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Capsule, 0.3g × 150 | Herbal tea, brewed |
| Contains gynostemma | Yes, as a concentrated extract | Yes, as one of five herbs |
| Declared vitamin C | 6.0mg per capsule | None declared |
| How it is taken | Swallowed with warm water, three times a day | Brewed and drunk, commonly in the evening |
| Suits you if | You want no preparation and a measured nutrient level | You prefer a hot drink as part of the routine |
Plenty of customers use both — the capsules through the day and the Tiens Antilipemic Tea in the evening. If you are choosing one to start with, the capsule is the simpler habit to keep.
Who are Tiens Beneficial Capsules suitable for?
- Adults who want daily cardiovascular and antioxidant support as part of a wider routine.
- Adults over 40 building a consistent daily wellness habit.
- People with demanding work schedules looking for support with tiredness and fatigue.
- Adults who already use gynostemma or jiaogulan and prefer it in capsule form rather than as a tea.
- Existing Tiens customers who want the original Tianshi formulation rather than a substitute.
- Customers in Nigeria, the UK, the USA, Canada, the EU and Australia who want an authentic supply route with tracked delivery.
Who should avoid Tiens Beneficial Capsules or check first?
Do not take this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. There is not enough safety information on gynostemma in pregnancy or breastfeeding for it to be used at those times.
Speak to a pharmacist or doctor before starting if any of the following apply to you:
- You take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicine — including warfarin, heparin, clopidogrel or aspirin. Gynostemma may slow blood clotting, so the effect of these medicines may be increased.
- You have a bleeding disorder, or surgery or a dental procedure is scheduled. Stop taking the capsules at least two weeks before a planned procedure and tell the surgical or dental team.
- You take medicine for diabetes. Gynostemma may lower blood glucose, which can add to the effect of your medication.
- You take immunosuppressant medicine, including after an organ transplant. Gynostemma may stimulate immune function and interfere with these medicines.
- You take medicine for blood pressure or any other long-term condition, or you are under treatment for a heart condition.
- You are allergic or intolerant to any ingredient listed above, including carrot and tea-derived ingredients.
The usage directions are written for adults, and Recs-Medix supplies this product to adults only. Keep out of reach of children. Reported side effects of gynostemma are usually mild and include nausea, an increase in bowel movements, diarrhoea and dizziness; stop taking the capsules and speak to a healthcare professional if you experience these or anything unexpected.

- They are not a medicine and cannot replace prescription medication for any condition. Never stop or reduce prescribed treatment in order to take a supplement.
- They are not a stroke, hypertension, cholesterol or diabetes treatment.
- They are not a weight-loss or weight-gain product.
- No supplement is free of side effects. Read the warnings above before you order.
- They are not a substitute for a balanced diet, physical activity or medical care.

Frequently asked questions
What is Tiens Beneficial Capsule used for?
It is a daily herbal food supplement for adults, taken as part of a routine built around cardiovascular and antioxidant support. The vitamin C it contains contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It is not a treatment for any heart or circulatory condition.
Is Tiens Beneficial Capsule NAFDAC registered?
Yes. Tiens Beneficial Capsule carries NAFDAC registration number A7-0313. Registration means the product is approved for sale in Nigeria; it is separate from the manufacturer’s own note that its health care claims have not been evaluated by NAFDAC.
Is Tiens Beneficial Capsule the same as Tianshi Beneficial Capsules?
Yes. Tiens and Tianshi are two spellings of the same brand, and the front of this bottle reads Tianshi Beneficial Capsules. Same manufacturer, same formula, same 0.3g × 150 capsule pack.
How many Tiens Beneficial Capsules should I take a day?
Four capsules three times daily with warm water — 12 capsules across the day. A 150-capsule bottle therefore covers twelve full days, with six capsules remaining. Do not exceed this unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
How many bottles should I order?
One bottle covers twelve full days at the usage directions. DHL charges per parcel rather than per bottle, so international customers commonly order several bottles in one shipment and pay the delivery cost once. In Nigeria you can order on Payment on Delivery and pay when the parcel arrives.
Can I take Tiens Beneficial Capsules every day?
Yes, the usage directions are written for daily use, and consistency matters more than any single serving. Check the warnings section above first, particularly if you take anticoagulant, antiplatelet, diabetes or immunosuppressant medicine, and speak to a pharmacist if any of those apply.
Who should not take Tiens Beneficial Capsules?
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone allergic to carrot or tea-derived ingredients, should not take them. Recs-Medix supplies this product to adults only. Anyone on blood-thinning, diabetes, blood-pressure or immunosuppressant medicine, or with surgery scheduled, should speak to a doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What are the side effects of Tiens Beneficial Capsules?
Reported side effects of gynostemma are usually mild and include nausea, an increase in bowel movements, diarrhoea and dizziness. Stop taking the capsules and speak to a healthcare professional if you experience these or anything unexpected. No supplement is free of side effects.
How long does it take to notice anything?
There is no set timescale, and the usage directions do not give one. Take the capsules consistently as directed alongside a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Results vary between individuals.
Is Tiens Beneficial Capsule the same as Beneficiale capsules?
No. Beneficiale is the name used in some markets for a soya-derived essential phospholipid preparation, in the same family as Essentiale. Tiens Beneficial Capsule is a herbal food supplement made from carrot powder, gynostemma extract, tea polyphenol and vitamin C. Different ingredients, different manufacturer, different purpose — and the names Beneficial Forte and Beneficiale Tablet belong to that phospholipid range, not to Tiens.
How much does Tiens Beneficial Capsule cost in Nigeria?
The current price is shown at the top of this page and you can switch it to naira, dollars, pounds, euros and other currencies using the currency selector. Payment on Delivery is available nationwide across Nigeria.
