Jiaogulan (Gynostemma)

Support for Your Body's Master Regulator

Jiaogulan is a rare 'dual-direction' adaptogen, prized for its ability to intelligently bring the body's systems back into a state of healthy balance, or homeostasis. Here’s how:

• Promotes Balanced, Adaptable Energy:*
  Rich in compounds called gypenosides (similar to those in ginseng), Jiaogulan supports the adrenal system to foster calm, sustained energy for performance while also supporting tranquility for rest.
• Supports Healthy Respiratory Function:*
  Traditionally used to nourish lung 'Yin', this tonic helps to support clear, comfortable breathing and maintain the healthy hydration of respiratory tissues.
• Aids in Whole-System Harmony & Longevity:*
  As a master tonic, it supports the healthy function of the liver, immune system, and cardiovascular system, providing the antioxidant-rich foundation for graceful aging.
• Sharpens Mental Clarity & Spirit:*
  By supporting a balanced stress response, Jiaogulan helps calm a "noisy" mind, allowing for greater focus, clarity, and a brighter outlook.

Do You Feel Pulled in a Dozen Directions?

Some days you're exhausted and can't get going. Other days you're over-caffeinated, stressed, and can't calm down. You feel out of sync, constantly oscillating between wired and tired. This feeling of being "out of balance" is the tax modern life places on our internal systems. Jiaogulan is nature's great harmonizer. It's not a simple 'upper' or 'downer.' It's a supremely intelligent adaptogen that works with your body, gently energizing what is sluggish and calming what is agitated. It's a daily practice for finding your perfect, vital center.*

Jiaogulan Extract is Ideal For:

• The Person Seeking a "Smarter" Ginseng: Who wants the benefits of ginseng in a more cooling, calming, and balanced form.*
• The Biohacker & Health Optimizer: Focused on achieving whole-system homeostasis and long-term vitality.*
• The Overwhelmed Individual: Who feels both exhausted and agitated and is seeking a return to a calm, centered state.*
• Anyone looking for an All-in-One Daily Tonic: For broad-spectrum support across the body's most vital systems.*

The Herb of Immortality & The Power of Balance

In the mountainous regions of Southern China, Jiaogulan is simply known as "the immortality herb." It is consumed daily as a tea by some of the longest-living people in the world. Their legend is not one of magic, but of profound balance.

What makes Jiaogulan a truly elite adaptogen is its rare "dual-direction" intelligence.

Smarter Than Ginseng

The power of Jiaogulan lies in its saponins, called *gypenosides*, which are remarkably similar in structure to the *ginsenosides* found in Panax Ginseng. However, Jiaogulan possesses a much broader array of these compounds, giving it a more nuanced and balancing effect on the body's systems.

This means it can energize your mind for a demanding day's work, but also calm your nervous system in the evening for restful sleep. It is the ultimate tonic for harmonizing your body's complex needs, supporting your innate ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in any condition.*

Don't just push your system. Bring it into perfect, vibrant harmony.*
