The scientific community became interested
in the herb after two Japanese researchers stumbled
across it looking for a sugar alternative. They
discovered that the plant contained ingredients
very similar to those found in ginseng. Further
research showed that jiao gu lan has a wide range
of actions in the body, with a general overall
effect of helping to balance and regulate body
systems, such as the cardiovascular and hormonal
systems. Studies have since been conducted which
indicate that jiao gu lan has antioxidant properties
and helps support circulation and immune systems.
Better Than Ginseng
Jiao gu lan contains substances called gypenosides.
These are similar to the active constituents in
ginseng, but jiaogulan contains over three times
as many. Furthermore, jiao gu lan is believed to
have a superior action to ginseng, being more supportive
without causing overstimulation. In China it is
often referred to as 'women's ginseng' since it
is considered to be much kinder to women's body
systems than ginseng.
Cholesterol - Blood Pressure- Athlectic Enhancement
The water extract of jiao gu lan has
demonstrated a marked effect in lowering cholesterol
and triglyceride levels.1 In one clinical
trial, 129 patients were divided into two groups,
with one group receiving jiao gu lan and
the other receiving a placebo. After one month
of study, the patients in the herb group showed
a statistically significant reduction in both total
cholesterol and triglycerides levels in comparison
with the placebo group. Side-effects included two
cases of dizziness; one case of poor appetite;
four cases of abdominal distention; 42 reports
of weight loss; and 28 cases of weight gain.2
In another study, the combination of jiao gu
lan and shan zha (crataegus) reduced
both triglycerides and cholesterol levels.3
Jiao gu lan,is also a main adaptogenic herbs,
