Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a botanical adaptogen used in traditional Chinese herbalism for improving strength and endurance. Adaptogens are defined as substances that enhance general adaptive response. Research suggests their mechanism of action includes modulation of the pituitary-adrenal gland axis. Adaptogens increase resistance against external stressors, have a balancing effect and stabilize normal body functions.
Its benefits were first described in 1578 in one of China’s most famous herbals, the Compendium of Materia Media (Ben Cao Gang Mu). Jiaogulan was regarded by the Chinese people as a strength and endurance enhancer, “like ginseng, but better.” In modern times, jiaogulan has been researched for its adaptogenic properties. Jiaogulan is a rich source of saponins called gypenosides, some of which are identical to the ginsenosides found in Chinese ginseng. In vitro studies of gypenosides have demonstrated antioxidant activity in white blood cells.
