It lowers
LDL's (bad cholesterol) while raising
HDL's (good cholesterol). It improves
fat metabolism, reduces blood fat levels and depresses lipid peroxide
and fat sediment in the blood vessels.
While it is great for rectifying
high cholesterol and obesity problems, it can also improve
and strengthen the digestion, allowing an underweight person to increase
absorption of nutrients and gain weight in the form of lean muscle
mass.This regulatory effect on bodily functions is the hallmark of
an adaptogen.
This is all-natural healthy, herbal, product from the plant Jiaogulan.
Jiaogulan prevents cells from turning cancerous and
also inhibits the growth of tumors already formed
by stimulating the body's immune system cells. Cancer patients given Jiaogulan
show marked improvement in white blood cell count antibody levels, and raised
T and B lymphocyte levels.
Jiaogulan is one of the best broad-spectrum adaptogenic
herbs known, containing polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals,
flavones, saponins and many essential trace elements. Very safe for
long-term use. Highly effective in reducing the side-effects of radiation
and chemotherapy by boosting the immune system.
Athletes use Jiaogulan to enhance their performance
because it enhances the heart pumping function,
improving contraction of the heart muscle. The most pronounced benefits
are increased endurance during strong physical activity, and more rapid
recovery afterwards.
Jiaogulan contains 84 beneficial
saponins - three times more than ginseng, yet it has no side-effects.
Due to its significantly higher quantity of beneficial saponins,
it has been widely studied and used worldwide, including for patients
recovering from exposure to ultraviolet, beta and gamma-rays. It
also dramatically reduces cholesterol levels, normalizes
blood pressure, protects the heart, and increases fat metabolism.
Over 300 scientific research findings back up nearly
every claim for Jiaogulan (also known as Gynostemma pentaphyllum).
Jiaogulan is a superb immune-enhancer and antioxidant for
all ages.
Cancer Protection -
Jiaogulan prevents cells from turning cancerous and also inhibits the
growth of tumors already formed by stimulating the body's immune system
cells. Cancer patients given Jiaogulan show marked improvement in white
blood cell count antibody levels, and raised T and B lymphocyte levels.
It has been shown that Jiaogulan has activity against esophagal, lung,
breast, uterus, prostate, brain, kidney, thymus and skin cancer.
Reduce the Risk of Strokes
and Heart Attacks - Jiaogulan dramatically decreases the chances
of a stroke by inhibiting blood platelets from "sticking together," which
prevents a stroke-inducing blood clot from forming. This same action
prevents artery clogging, reducing risk of a heart attack.
Build Your Immune System -
In China, doctors prescribe daily doses of Jiaogulan for patients recovering
from heart and brain surgery, because the herb supports the immune
system, aiding in a quicker and more effective recovery. Patients undergoing
cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy receive Jiaogulan
as well. Research has shown that Jiaogulan can increase the white blood
cell count, which strengthens resistance, thus improving the patients'
ability to recover.
Stay Younger Longer.
Biochemist Subbuti Dharmenanda says that signs of aging are avoidable
if you can tame the free radicals that cause them. "If free radicals
aren't shut down, they cause everything from cataracts to cancer.” But
studies show that taking just 40 mg of Penta daily triples production
of superoxide dismutase, a chemical that neutralizes free radicals
by 21%.
Bronchitis. Penta (Jiaogulan)
tea has been traditionally used as a remedy for bronchitis. In one
study, the effectiveness rate of using Penta tea to treat chronic bronchitis
was 93%.
Stress Reduction. Penta
has a bi-phasic action on the central nervous system, calming the nerves
when irritated and exciting them when depressed. This is why Penta
is known as an adaptogen. The increased balance affects other systems
of the body, normalizing the balance between other organs' functions,
thereby bolstering stability of the body as a whole. This results in
better brain function, increased endurance, and resistance to illness
and injury.
Antioxidant Properties
of Penta. Antioxidants are an important factor in treating cancer,
liver disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, arthritis inflammation and
even the aging process. Penta (Jiaogulan) has been proven in many studies
to have a powerful antioxidant effect, by protecting the body from
free radical damage.
Reducing Blood Pressure, Preventing
Strokes and Heart Attacks. Penta dramatically decreases the
chances of a stroke by inhibiting blood platelets from "sticking
together," which prevents the formation of stroke-inducing blood
clots. This same action prevents artery clogging, thereby reducing
risk of a heart attack. Also, studies show that in as little as two
weeks, a small dose of Penta taken daily, lowers high blood pressure
to a normal range. By increasing production of nitric oxide - a chemical
that relaxes blood vessel walls - the herb effectively reduces the
blood pressure. In addition, Penta reduces cholesterol by about 25%.
Building Up the Immune System.
In China, doctors prescribe daily doses of Jiaogulan (Penta) for patients
recovering from heart and brain surgery. Why? Because the herb supports
the immune system, aiding in a quicker and more effective recovery.
Patients undergoing cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy
receive Penta as well. Research has shown that Penta can increase the
white blood cell count, which strengthens resistance, thus improving
the patients' ability to recover.
Improving Cardiovascular Function.
Athletes use the herb to enhance their performance, as Penta has been
found to enhance the heart pumping function, improving contractility
of the heart muscle. Endurance during heightened physical activity
and recovery afterwards are the most pronounced benefits.
Make the tea with hot
boiled water for 3 minutes, 2-3 tea bags daily. The tea has no side-effects,
no over dose effects, as per the test done by the Stimulant Testing
Center of Chinese Sports Medical Science Institute, the tea is without
any stimulants forbidden by provisions(1988) of International Olympic
Commission.
