Product description:

Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract is sourced from premium Gynostemma pentaphyllum plants. These plants are carefully cultivated in natural and pollution-free environments with suitable climate and soil conditions to ensure the accumulation of high-quality active ingredients. The harvesting is carried out at the optimal growth stage of the plants to capture the maximum nutritional value.

The extraction process is a combination of advanced techniques. Initially, the Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaves and stems are thoroughly cleaned and then dried under controlled conditions to preserve their bioactive components. Subsequently, the dried materials are subjected to a solvent extraction method, usually using ethanol or water as the solvent. Through precise control of parameters such as temperature, extraction time, and the ratio of the solvent to the raw materials, the valuable substances are effectively extracted from the plant tissues. After extraction, the solution undergoes multiple filtration steps to remove any solid residues, followed by concentration and drying processes to obtain a fine powder of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract.

Key Ingredients

  • Gypenosides: Gypenosides are the major and most important active components in Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract. They are structurally similar to ginsenosides and possess a wide range of biological activities. Gypenosides can regulate the immune system, enhance the body's resistance to diseases, and have anti-aging effects by scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress.
  • Flavonoids: The extract is also rich in flavonoid compounds, such as quercetin and rutin. Flavonoids contribute to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the extract. They can protect cells from damage caused by harmful substances, reduce inflammation in the body, and may also play a role in preventing chronic diseases.
  • Polysaccharides: Polysaccharides in Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Extract have immune-modulating functions. They can stimulate the activity of immune cells, enhance the body's immune response, and also have potential effects on improving intestinal flora balance, promoting digestion and absorption.
  • Amino Acids and Minerals: The extract contains a variety of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins and are necessary for the normal physiological functions of the body. Additionally, it is rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, which are important for maintaining bone health, blood circulation, and other physiological processes.
