Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a botanical dietary supplement used as a balancing tonic and an adaptogen by many different people to support health, wellness, and vitality.
Jiaogulan contains unique constituents called gypenosides that naturally support the functioning and health of various systems, organs, glands, and tissues.
Key Benefits
- Support the body's ability to adapt to daily stress
- Promote long-lasting energy and vitality
- Maintain healthy respiratory function
- Support healthy liver functioning and detoxification processes
- Build-up the immune system's natural defenses
- Promote endocrine and hormonal balance
- Maintain cellular protection with antioxidant constituents
Nutritional Biochemistry and Mechanism
Jiaogulan promotes cellular fortification and maintains nervous system functioning during periods of environmental or physical stress.
Jiaogulan contains unique constituents called gypenosides, which are biologically similar to the ginsenosides found in Panax ginseng. These constituents interact with the neuroendocrine system to maintain healthy stress hormone equilibrium. During periods of physical or mental exertion, the body utilizes these constituents to support a balanced glandular response and promote subsequent physical fortification.
Furthermore, Jiaogulan supplies polyphenol bioflavonoids to maintain healthy antioxidant levels. This balances oxidative stress and protects tissues, particularly within the liver and respiratory systems. These botanical constituents must be consumed with a density of nutrients from a complete diet to provide the essential components for these biochemical processes to work.
Application for Lifestyles
The continuous consumption of the constituents in Jiaogulan, as part of a well-balanced complete meals program, are used to support, promote, and maintain many different aspects of daily lifestyles.
- Education and Work: The adaptogenic constituents support mental composure and maintain cognitive clarity under deadline stress and sustained output.
- Fitness and Athletics: Bioflavonoid antioxidants defend cellular tissues against the oxidative stress of physical training, while gypenosides support respiratory capacity and stamina.
- Health Cultivation: Provides generalized nourishment for individuals seeking proactive wellness, liver support, and adaptation to chronic environmental demands.

Dosages and Handling
To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 10 drops to 1 dropper and work up. The continuous over
Liquid Extract and Tincture Dosage: 10 drops to 1-3 droppers @ 1-3 times per day (160 – 3,000 milligrams daily).
-
Dropper Math:
- 60 1ml droppers in a 2oz (60ml) bottle
- 1ml dropper = ~500 mgs formula extract
- 30 drops in a 1ml dropper
- 1 drop = ~16 mgs formula extract
- Shake gently: Secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the liquid extract. Vigorous shaking oxidizes the volatile constituents and reduces biological activity.
- By mouth: Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing, or mix the drops into 2-4 oz of lukewarm water. Hot water will catabolize the fragile volatile compounds.
- Timing: Best taken with meals to aid assimilation. Jiaogulan is a versatile tonic that can be taken at any time of day to support balance.
Questions and Answers
Q: What is Jiaogulan?
A: Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is an adaptogenic botanical native to Asia, traditionally referred to as "Southern Ginseng" or the "Immortality Herb." It is used to support overall well-being, promote energy, and assist the body in adapting to stress.
Q: How does Jiaogulan compare to Ginseng?
A: Both Jiaogulan and Ginseng contain similar active constituents (gypenosides in Jiaogulan, ginsenosides in Ginseng) that contribute to their adaptogenic properties. However, Jiaogulan provides a broader balancing effect that specifically supports respiratory and liver functioning alongside neuroendocrine support.
Q: How does Jiaogulan support the stress response?
A: As an adaptogen, Jiaogulan interacts with the neuroendocrine system to maintain healthy stress hormone equilibrium, assisting the body in maintaining a sense of balance during challenging environmental or physical circumstances.
Q: Will Jiaogulan cause any undesired outcomes or adverse events if taken with other products?
A: Supplements are food added to the diet. Generally, this formulation may be taken with other dietary supplements. However, if someone has a diagnosed disease or health-condition, they must consult with a healthcare professional, since a supplement cannot self-treat or manage diseases.
