Gynostemma (Jiaogulan) is a powerful adaptogenic herb known for restoring balance across multiple body systems, supporting immune health, regulating blood sugar and lipids, and promoting mental calm and resilience.
Gynostemma (Gynostemma pentaphyllum), also known by its Chinese name Jiaogulan, is a remarkable five-leafed adaptogenic herb. Gynostemma has a unique ability 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 slim people to gain 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, providing a basis for an effective and safe approach to treat the illness.
Studies on the anticancer properties of Gynostemma have demonstrated remarkable inhibitory effects across a wide range of cancer cell lines. Intensive studies are being conducted into both its anti-cancer activity and its potential as an immune protection / prophylactic agent for HIV infected patients. Research indicates that gynostemma may prevent cells from becoming cancerous in the first place and disrupt cell division in existing cancer cells.

Restores Homeostasis Across Key Systems
Gynostemma uniquely supports equilibrium in the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, nervous, and reproductive systems, helping the body maintain optimal function under stress or imbalance.
Studies show Gynostemma improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in type II diabetes, while also reducing elevated blood fats (hyperlipidaemia), making it valuable for metabolic health.
Gynostemma’s adaptogenic properties help normalise body weight, assisting overweight individuals in reducing excess fat and underweight individuals in gaining healthy mass.
Rich in saponins (gypenosides), Gynostemma boosts immunity by increasing the number and activity of white blood cells, providing enhanced protection against infections.
By aiding liver function and promoting healthy bowel movements, Gynostemma helps detoxify the body and maintain digestive health.
This herb calms the nervous system, offering a dual effect: it soothes over-excitation while providing stimulation when depressed. It is beneficial for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and general stress.
Emerging research indicates Gynostemma may inhibit cancer cell growth, disrupt cell division, and possibly prevent cells from becoming cancerous. It is also being studied for its immune-protective effects in conditions like HIV.
Infuse gynostemma in hot water for minimum of 3 minutes.
