FIRST, SOME FUN HISTORY
Gynostemma is a relatively new kid on the block in comparison to the centuries of history some adaptogens can easily claim.
It wasn’t widely known, even in China, until the early 1970s! At that time Japanese researchers took a closer look at the incredible longevity achieved by residents of a region in Southern China.
What did they find? Gynostemma tea was a traditional drink and has been consumed on a daily basis for centuries.
GYNOSTEMMA IS A RECORD HOLDER!
The dual-directional nature of adaptogens is generally attributed to the intriguing compounds called saponins.
While the most famous Adaptogenic herb in the world, Ginseng, contains on average 36 saponins, it turns out that Gynostemma is boasting about 100 different saponins.
Gynostemma holds the record to this day for the broadest range of saponins of any known plant in the world.
The saponin similarities between Ginseng and Gynostemma earned this superherb nicknames such as “7-Leaf Ginseng,” “Southern Ginseng,” and “Ginseng at a tea price,” reflecting how affordable it was compared to ginseng. However, the people who have been drinking it for hundreds, if not thousands of years still call it “The Magical Grass.”
HOW WILL GYNOSTEMMA HELP YOU?
Gynostemma’s incredible saponin profile gives it the ability to regulate a myriad of bodily functions, covering everything from energy, to natural defenses, to weight and cholesterol.
For example, when someone is tired or overly anxious, Gynostemma will help restore a state of peaceful vigor, without being stimulating or sedative. Both athletes and those wanting to lose weight will equally appreciate that Gynostemma simultaneously increases the body’s ability to burn fat and build lean muscle.
Furthermore, studies in Japan and China have shown Gynostemma having an 94.8% effective rate of lowering “bad” cholesterol while increasing “good” cholesterol. In various countries it has been used to control cholesterol, avoid obesity and fatty liver.
IT IS SO EASY TO DRINK IT!
It is easy to consume as well. You can add it to hot water and it makes a delicious tea. You can blend it into almost any hot or cold beverage or smoothie for a powerful dose of adaptability.
