What's in Gynostemma?
Gynostemma tea contains a large quantity of saponins, known as gypenosides. The structure of the gypenosides is similar to panaxosides (also known as ginsenosides) found in ginseng. There are four times as many saponins in Gynostemma as there is in ginseng. Some of those saponins are identical to the panaxosides in ginseng and some of them turn into panaxosides when taken into the body. This results in a greater number of saponins than ginseng, which may translate into a powerful regulatory effect on a number of bodily systems, like blood pressure, the reproductive system, the digestive system, immune system, mental functions and more.
