Renowned for its powerful anti-oxidant and adaptogenic effects, JIAOGULAN (also known as ‘southern ginseng’, ‘miracle grass’ and ‘herb of immortality’) is a five-leafed climbing vine native to parts of China, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. Millions of people (especially throughout Asia) routinely consume jiaogulan as a tea infusion, and enjoy the benefits of its stress reducing, energy promoting and immune system boosting properties. Its ingestion is widely regarded as quintessential to promoting a long, healthy life. Of all plant varieties, jiaogulan contains the widest spectrum of saponins. Saponins have a regulatory effect on a wide spectrum of bodily systems, including blood pressure and blood sugar levels, along with the immune, reproductive, endocrine, and, central nervous systems. As an ‘adaptogen’, jiaogulan increases the body’s natural abilities to respond to a wide spectrum of internal and external stress, and promotes equilibrium within the cells and vital organ systems.
