Capitalization

[edit]

Does the name of this medicine need to be capitalized, and, if so, why? Badagnani 17:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Vegetarian version

[edit]

Here are additional ingredients for a vegetarian version.. Badagnani (talk) 18:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Lead

[edit]

The lead says "that is made" from turtle shell, but then just a sentence or two later it states that commercially available guilinggao doesn't have turtle in it. So, should the lead be changed from "that is made" to "that was originally made" or something similar? Badagnani (talk) 01:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

They don't make this the way they used to.

[edit]

It's a shame. 66.65.140.116 (talk) 22:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

On the type of turtle currently being used

[edit]

The article mentioned about the conservation status of Cuora trifasciata that was used in the past, and said other types of turtles are being used now, but didn't mention the species.

Since this dessert originated from TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), so the Chinese Pharmacopoeia might provide some insight into the question. The 2025 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia specified Mauremys reevesii (Chinese Pond Turtle) as the source species of turtle shell ("Guijia" and "Mauremydis Carapax et Plastrum" in original text). It also stated that both the carapace and plastron are used. The text can be found on page 194 and 195 of the first volume of the 2025 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

I think this is likely the type of turtle used in mainland China, Macau and Hong Kong. Kynsia (talk) 13:57, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
