Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum or "stranded blue plant" when translated from Chinese) is better known as "The Herb of Immortality".
Jiaogulan is considered to be one of the 10 most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC).
And that's because it contains 82 saponins. And saponins are chemical compounds identical to the ones found in Ginseng, but Ginseng only has 22 of those compounds.
Jiaogulan is also a strong adaptogen, meaning that it is a natural substance that helps the body adapt to stress. It is also a substance that can work on many problems in the body at the same time. And it no side effects.
