gynostemma Pentaphyllum tea????
    #12244749 -

so my flatmate bought some gynostemma Pentaphyllum tea a while ago, and neither of us drank it, or even looked into its uses.

But today was a different day.  After studying a bit I found some interesting information.

Wiki page

official site

"Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (botanical name), or Jiaogulan (Chinese name), is a five leafed adaptogenic herb. It has the unique ability of restoring homeostatis (balance and equilibrium) to all five body systems. The body systems are the cardiovascular, the digestive, the immune, the nervous and the reproductive systems."

"The chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristic of Gynostemma are saponins (triterpene glycosides or gypenosides). Gynostemma contains the widest range of saponins from all the plants in nature. There are approximately four times as many saponins in Gynostemma Pentaphyllum as there are in ginseng. There are more than 100 different gypenosides in Gynostemma, all very similar to the ginsenosides of Panax Ginseng and Siberian Ginseng. Four of Gynostemma’s saponins share the identical chemical structure as the saponins found in Ginseng and eleven more are nearly identical. There is a saying that Gynostemma is "Ginseng at a tea price""

"Gynostemma contains many amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are healthy to the human body, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc and more. The locals who cultivate & consume Gynostemma call it 'miracle tea'"


Your thoughts?  I have never even heard of it until recently.

taste is leafy like a midrange green tea.  Bitter like ginseng, and sweet on its own.

This sounds pretty amazing. I've had my fair share of tea, but, never even heard of this. Figures though, the best herbal tea's are kept secret.

Any unpleasent side effects?

"The side effects of Gynostemma include severe nausea and increased bowel movements."


but, according to drugs.com:

"Studies on Gynostemma have found that the plant is effective in regulating blood pressure, strengthening the immune system, lowering cholesterol, and in increasing stamina and endurance properties. Gynostemma has also been found to have hyperlipidemic, lipid peroxidation, adaptogenic, anticancer, cardio- and cerebrovascular effects."
