The Most Powerful Adaptogen - Over 80 Saponins

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, also called Jiaogulan, is a herb mostly found in the southern provinces of China. It grows wild and is commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine. Although it isn't botanically related to ginseng, it does have properties that are closely related, containing some of the same compounds including saponins. These properties have led to it being used in the same way as ginseng. It also contains sterols, flavonoids, and chlorophyll.

Gynostemma may be the most understated of all adaptogens. Adaptogens gain many qualities from saponins, and with an average of 36 saponins, ginseng is traditionally thought to contain the most. However, Japanese researchers found that gynostemma contains over 80 different saponins, making it by far the most potent adaptogen. This broad range of saponins gives it the ability to regulate a multitude of bodily functions, covering everything from energy to immunity, weight, and cholesterol.

Premium Quality Gynostemma Powder

Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (Jiaogulan - "Immortality Herb"): The herb is classified as a gypenoside and is an adaptogen that helps the body adapt to stress and may enhance memory, boost immunity, and improve sports performance. In China, it's known as the "Immortality Herb" because people in regions where it's consumed regularly are known for exceptional longevity and vitality.

The AMPK Activator - Master Metabolic Switch

Gynostemma pentaphyllum has a growing reputation, and studies indicate it helps promote AMPK, a molecule that acts as a "master switch" for metabolism. AMPK senses and responds to low levels of ATP, the energy provider for cells. It turns up processes in cells and mitochondria to enhance the conversion of food into energy. It appears to have an adaptive response to increase ATP capacity not just at the time but also for the future. This action supports healthy aging and cellular function.

Scientifically-Proven Health Benefits

• Adaptogen That Supports Stress Response: As an adaptogen, gynostemma supports the adaptive response of a human being, helping you handle stress more efficiently. It helps normalize cortisol levels, supports adrenal function, enhances resilience to physical and mental stress, promotes emotional balance and well-being, and helps the body maintain homeostasis during challenging times.
• Powerful Antioxidant Protection: Gynostemma is believed to promote antioxidant defenses. Research has associated this antioxidant activity with supporting a healthy liver, contributing towards normal blood sugar levels, protecting cells from free radical damage, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and supporting healthy aging at the cellular level.
• Supports the Immune System: The 80+ saponins in gynostemma work synergistically to boost immunity by enhancing immune cell function, supporting the body's defense against infections, strengthening overall immune resilience, and helping maintain optimal immune response. This comprehensive immune support helps you stay healthy year-round.
• Helps Improve Memory Loss: Gynostemma may enhance memory and cognitive function by supporting brain cell health and function, improving blood flow to the brain, providing neuroprotective antioxidants, reducing brain inflammation, and potentially protecting against age-related cognitive decline and memory loss.
• May Prevent Hair Loss: By supporting overall health, reducing stress (a major cause of hair loss), improving circulation to the scalp, providing antioxidant protection to hair follicles, and supporting hormonal balance, gynostemma may help prevent hair loss and promote healthy hair growth.
• Assists with Overall Stamina & Athletic Performance: Gynostemma improves sports performance and stamina by activating AMPK for enhanced energy production, increasing ATP capacity in cells, improving oxygen utilization, reducing exercise-induced fatigue, and supporting faster recovery. Athletes and active individuals benefit from sustained energy and endurance.
• May Improve Heart Function: The cardiovascular benefits of gynostemma include supporting healthy blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, enhancing circulation, protecting heart cells from oxidative damage, and supporting overall cardiovascular health and function.
• Supports Weight Loss & Fat Reduction: Gynostemma contains an extract known as actiponin. In a study, researchers gave 80 obese patients 450mg actiponin or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The jiaogulan group had increased weight loss and a greater reduction in abdominal fat and general body fat mass. This is achieved through AMPK activation, which enhances fat metabolism, increases energy expenditure, supports healthy body composition, and helps regulate appetite.
• Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels: Research has associated gynostemma's antioxidant activity with contributing towards normal blood sugar levels. It helps improve insulin sensitivity, support glucose metabolism, maintain healthy blood sugar already within normal range, and may help prevent diabetes-related complications.
• Supports Healthy Liver Function: Gynostemma is believed to support a healthy liver through its antioxidant defenses, protecting liver cells from damage, supporting liver detoxification, reducing liver inflammation, and promoting overall hepatic wellness.
• Promotes Healthy Gut Flora: Gynostemma is believed to promote healthy gut flora (beneficial bacteria), supporting digestive health, enhancing immune function (70% of immunity is in the gut), improving nutrient absorption, and promoting overall gut microbiome balance.
