Can restore homeostasis to five of the main body systems: cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous and reproductive systems.
Gynostemma (Gynostemma pentaphyllum), also known by its Chinese name Jiaogulan, is a remarkable five-leafed adaptogenic herb. Gynostemma has a unique ability of being able to restore homeostasis (balance and equilibrium) to five of the main body systems the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous and reproductive systems.
This extraordinary herb boasts the widest range of saponins (gypenosides), the key compounds responsible for Gynostemma's powerful adaptogenic properties. It can help overweight individuals to reduce weight and slight people to put on weight. It can help adjust blood sugar levels and reduce blood fat (hyperlipidaemia).
Gynostemma can help maintain healthy bowels acting as a cleanser to rid the body of toxins and waste.
As an antioxidant, gynostemma boosts the immune system by increasing the number and activity level of white blood cells. It strengthens the digestive system by assisting in liver function. It helps relieve stress by soothing and relaxing the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and stimulating when one is depressed. Studies have shown that gynostemma is useful in a number of neurological conditions, including depression, anxiety and stress.
Studies using Gynostemma to treat diabetic patients (type II) showed a prompt improvement of glycaemia and insulin sensitivity thereby providing a basis for an effective and safe approach to treat the illness.
Studies on the anti-cancer properties of Gynostemma have demonstrated a remarkable inhibition rate across a wide range of cancer cells. Intensive studies are being conducted into both its anti cancer activity and its potential as an immune protection / prophylactic agent for HIV infected patients. There is research indicating that gynostemma may prevent cells from becoming cancerous in the first place and may disrupt cell division in existing cancer cell.
