Jiaogulan Nature’s Greatest Treasure

Nature’s Greatest Treasure™ offers help for modern stressful lifestyles

Jiaogulan (pronounced member of the cucumber family, is a lowlying vine with five-leafed clusters, hence its botanical name Gynostemma pentaphyllum (from the Greek penta = “five” + phyllon = “leaf”).

Jiaogulan has a long history of use as a daily tonic in China, but is just now gaining popularity worldwide because of new scientific research supporting a range of health and longevity

benefits that may very well eclipse that of any plant yet discovered. To date, more than
300 research papers attest to jiaogulan’s diverse benefits.

Many herbalists consider jiaogulan to be the most potent herbal adaptogen. This term refers to special
plants that can increase the body’s resistance to everyday stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue.† Adaptogens accomplish this by a unique two-way balancing action on neuro-endocrine and immune function.†

Chemical analysis has shown that adaptogens work because of active principles called saponins. Ginseng, for example, is renowned as an adaptogen because of its complement of 28 saponins, but jiaogulan contains than 100 different saponins, an astounding number that experts proclaim to be the broadest and most powerful range found in nature. Jiaogulan’s saponins include the major ones found in ginseng, plus unique forms called gypenosides are found in jiaogulan alone. Different gypenosides are found in different parts of the plant, so it is thought to be most beneficial to use the entire plant.

Jiaogulan is also a powerful antioxidant, which is important in today’s world of toxins, chemicals, poor dietary habits, and other sources of free radicals.†Free•radical damage—also known as oxidative stress—is a major contributor to many of today’s common health concerns. Research suggests that jiaogulan can help by promoting the body’s own production of its most important antioxidant enzymes.†
