Full Description

Gynostemma (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is also known by its Chinese name Jiaogulan Gynostemma is a 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.

The herb contains the widest range of saponins (gypenosides), the chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristic of Gynostemma. 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 into the anti-cancer activity of gynostemma have shown a significant inhibition rate on a broad cross section 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.

    A long term support which I only purchase from Shokuiku due to her superior quality. This is a wonderful support for my detox pathways and central nervous system.

    I have been drinking this tea daily for the last few weeks and my energy levels have remained stable throughout the day and my sleep has improved. Especially falling asleep at night. I will continue to use Gynostemma for general health and strong immunity.
