The science behind Jiaogulan
More research is needed. Jiaogulan is an herbal dietary supplement and
not a medicine, treatment or cure. However it may be a helpful supplement to your other
blood pressure therapy.
82% Effective!
Lu, G.H., etal. Comparative Study of the
anti-hypertensive effects of Gymenosides, ginseng and Indapamide in patients
with essential hyperetension. Guizhou Medical Journal. China 1996.
Dr. Lu and his team studied 233 patients with
high blood pressure. 1/3 of the patients received and extract from Jiaogulan,
1/3 received a ginseng extract and 1/3 received a popular pharmaceutical drug
for high blood pressure. After 3 months they found the pharmaceutical drug was
the most effective with a 93% effectiveness rate. Jiaogulan was close behind,
82% effective in controlling the patients high blood pressure.
Ginseng was a distant third at 46%.
Nitric Oxide May be a Key!
Achike, F.I., et al. Nitric oxide, human
diseases and the herbal products that affect the nitric oxide signaling
pathway. Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, September
2003.
Researchers in Canada and Malaysia teamed up to
research the stimulation of Nitric Oxide production by various herbal products.
Nitric Oxide is believed a key factor in in controlling blood pressure because
when released by the surface cells of blood vessels it causes the vessels to
relax thus reducing blood pressure. the researchers found Jiaogulan to be one of
the most effective herbs available in stimulating this reaction.

Jiaogulan Linked to Nitric Oxide Production in
Blood Vessels!
Tanner, MA et al. The Direct Release of
Nitric Oxide by Gypenosides Derived from the Herb Gynostemma pentaphyllum.
Nitric Oxide Oct. 1999.
Dr. Tanner and his team from Vanderbilt
University Medical Center investigated the vasorelaxation effects of Jiaogulan.
They found that gypenosides from Jiaogulan caused the lining of blood vessels to
release nitric oxide.. The nitric oxide release relaxed the blood vessels
resulting in more efficient blood flow.
Our Jiaogulan tea is grown under strict
organic quality control standards in the highlands of Thailand. We dry the tea
in loose leaf form at the farm and we ship fresh to the US each month to
maintain maximum potency. Unlike many herbals, Jiaogulan tastes great hot or
cold. We were awarded the prize for best tasting tea in Thailand by the Thai
Agriculture Ministry.
