Praised as the "Herb of Immortality" in the regions where it grows, Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a true "pharmacy in a cup". It is believed to contribute to a long and disease-free life due to its anti-aging effects and wide spectrum of health benefits.

Jiaogulan had been used in its native high mountains of southern China for hundreds of years as a general health and rejuvenation tonic. It is said that many in these regions live in good health to very old age as a result of drinking Jiaogulan tea daily, which is why they called it the "Herb of Immortality". With over 6 times the variety of beneficial active chemical compounds (called saponins) than Panax ginseng, Jiaogulan is a powerful adaptogen and antioxidant.

As an adaptogen, Jiaogulan decreases the body's susceptibility to illness by allowing it to better "adapt" to physical, chemical, biological, and environmental stress. It helps balance the various bodily systems and functions, which is essential for maintaining good health.

As an antioxidant, Jiaogulan has the remarkable ability to stimulate the body's own production of the 3 most important antioxidants available: Superoxide Dismutase, Glutathione, and Catalase. These are much more powerful than dietary antioxidants like vitamin C or E in helping your body neutralize free radicals (the cause of aging and many diseases), and have a direct impact on longevity, youthfulness, and good overall health. Scientific studies indicate that Jiaogulan protects and boosts the immune system, protects and supports a healthy cardiovascular and nervous system, protects the liver and kidneys, helps detox the body, boosts energy levels and athletic performance, and more.

Majestic Herbs Jiaogulan is cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers by local farmers in the pristine mountains of Northern Thailand - the foothills of the Himalayas.
