Dr MB’s Jiaogulan Extract

70:1 giving an equivalent of 28 grams of raw herb per capsule.

Jiaogulan, scientifically known as Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, is an herb native to southern China.

It has a rich history dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Modern research reveals its similarity to Ginseng.

This herb offers numerous benefits, including increased life expectancy and improved quality of life.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, scientific interest grew as researchers discovered that a specific province in China had a longer life expectancy.

It was attributed to the consumption of jiaogulan.

Further investigation revealed over 80 different saponins in jiaogulan, surpassing ginseng.

Additionally, it acts as a natural antioxidant and is packed with essential vitamins and minerals.

Jiaogulan is hailed as one of nature’s best adaptogens, which assist the body in adapting to various stresses without causing harm.

It supports all major bodily systems and meets the criteria set by Russian doctors for adaptogens during the 20th century.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF JIAOGULAN

As well as its ability to prolong life, jiaogulan has numerous specific health benefits which we will look at below. If you are interested in what this wonderful herb can do for you, then read on…

1. FOR ENERGY

Traditionally, the Chinese drink jiaogulan tea for energy during labor-intensive days. Whether it’s work or fatigue, jiaogulan provides an energy boost. Chinese studies confirm its ability to enhance energy and endurance, with one study showing improved cardiac output compared to other herbs.

2. FOR IMMUNITY

A robust immune system is vital for overall health, shielding us from illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Jiaogulan enhances the immune system through antioxidants and regulation of Nitric Oxide production. If you’re susceptible to colds, flu, or compromised immunity, jiaogulan can strengthen your system and offer protection.

3. FOR DIGESTION

While scientific evidence is scarce, supporters of jiaogulan rave about its digestive benefits. Personally, I’ve experienced eased stomach discomfort since starting jiaogulan, though other factors may contribute. Experts suggest jiaogulan safeguards the gastrointestinal tract from toxins, defends against ulcers, aids constipation, and promotes gut bacteria balance for improved health.

4. FOR HEART HEALTH

Given the prevalence of coronary heart disease, it’s reassuring to know that natural protection is available for your heart. Numerous animal studies indicate that jiaogulan can lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. Additionally, jiaogulan shows promise in regulating blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and enhancing blood flow. It also prevents harmful arterial plaque buildup, which, if untreated, can result in conditions like atherosclerosis, stroke, and heart attack.

5. FOR MOOD AND STRESS

Similar to other herbs, jiaogulan restores mental balance and alleviates daily anxiety and stress. As an adaptogen, it enhances the body’s resilience to environmental, physical, chemical, and emotional stressors, reducing susceptibility to illnesses. Personally, I find the calming and stress-relieving effects of adaptogens intriguing. Unlike potent pharmaceutical medications with potential side effects, jiaogulan offers a natural alternative. If you experience anxiety or stress, consider giving jiaogulan a try and experience the potential difference.

6. FOR A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP

Traditionally, the Chinese consume jiaogulan tea to unwind after work and promote restful sleep. While scientific studies don’t validate its sleep benefits, its historical usage and positive anecdotes shouldn’t be disregarded. If you struggle with sleep, trying jiaogulan is worthwhile. Take a capsule of our high-potency Jiapgulan Extract about 30 minutes before bedtime to gauge its effectiveness.

7. FOR WEIGHT LOSS

I understand your skepticism, expecting another weight loss herb. However, like other healthy herbs, they can aid long-term weight control. A 2006 study revealed its potential to assist individuals with fatty liver disease and reduce body mass index. While there are no instant weight loss solutions, incorporating jiaogulan into a balanced diet and exercise plan may benefit you over time.

8. FOR THE SKIN

Jiaogulan, rich in natural antioxidants, combats skin damage caused by free radicals. Regular intake may diminish signs of cellular damage and slow down aging. Topical application shields the skin from UV damage, while Chinese research suggests that consuming jiaogulan or taking it in capsule form can prevent UV damage as well.

9. ANTI-AGING

Jiaogulan, known as the immortality herb, gained scientific attention due to population studies showing longer and healthier lives among regular consumers. The presence of vital antioxidants like glutathione and superoxide dismutase contributes to this beneficial effect. In a clinical study, daily intake of jiaogulan for four months reduced aging signs such as fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, diarrhea, and poor balance.

10. RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS

Jiaogulan is a potent natural remedy for respiratory issues like coughs, asthma, and bronchitis. In a clinical study involving 86 subjects with chronic bronchitis, it demonstrated effectiveness in treating over 90% of them. Traditionally used in China as an expectorant, it helps clear mucus from the airways, facilitating easier breathing.

11. FOR DIABETES AND BLOOD SUGAR

Vietnamese researchers tested to see if Jiaogulan had any effects on blood sugar and insulin sensitivity.  The 2013 study was done with type 2 diabetics given 6 grams of Jiaogulan for 1 month.  The researchers concluded that Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Jiaogulan) improved insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. 

12. ANTI-CANCER POTENTIAL

In a late 2016 meta-analysis, Chinese researchers investigated the anti-cancer benefits of Gynostemma pentaphyllum and its components. They discovered that jiaogulan contains numerous gypenosides, which exhibit diverse anti-cancer effects such as preventing cancer spread and directly killing cancer cells. The study concluded that the “GpM formula” (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) holds potential curative effects.

Jiaogulan is believed to combat cancer through multiple mechanisms:

  1. Enhancing the body’s defenses: It boosts the immune system to protect against cancer and tumor formation.
  2. Powerful antioxidant properties: Jiaogulan safeguards against DNA mutations and cellular damage that contribute to cancer.
  3. Anticancer effects of flavonoids, saponins (gypenosides), and polysaccharides present in jiaogulan.
  4. Inhibiting tumor growth, reducing size, and preventing metastasis. Laboratory studies demonstrate jiaogulan’s ability to induce cancer cell death or apoptosis.
  5. Acting as an ally during chemotherapy: Jiaogulan supports the immune system, shields the body from chemotherapy side effects, reduces toxicity, and enhances treatment effectiveness.

Jiaogulan holds promise in both cancer prevention and as a supportive measure during chemotherapy treatment.
