The effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea
1. Lower blood fat
Gynostemma can significantly reduce cholesterol (TCH), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), protect blood vessel inner wall cells, prevent lipid deposition on blood vessel walls, and resist arteriosclerosis role.
2. Adjust blood pressure and prevent thrombosis
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can significantly reduce blood viscosity, adjust blood pressure, and at the same time prevent microthrombosis and increase the tolerance of myocardial cells to hypoxia, thereby protecting the myocardium. Thrombosis is caused by a variety of factors. Both in vivo and in vitro tests have proved that Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract has good depolymerization or inhibitory functions on thrombus formed by various factors, indicating that Gynostemma pentaphyllum has multiple functions such as inhibiting platelet function, coagulation function and red blood cell aggregation. Link function of antithrombotic drugs.
3. Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases
Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract has obvious protective effect on experimental myocardial infarction, can reduce the range of myocardial infarction, inhibit the increase of free fatty acid (FFA) after myocardial infarction, reduce the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protect myocardial SOD and phosphocreatine kinase ( CPK) activity, correcting the metabolic disorder of FFA during myocardial ischemia. Therefore, it has a good protective effect on myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Gynostemma pentaphyllum regulates lipid metabolism and anti-oxidation effects are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and clinical trials have also proved the good effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum in treating coronary heart disease.
4. Regulate blood sugar
Jiaogulan can protect the adrenal gland, thymus gland and endocrine organs, and maintain the normal function of the endocrine system. It is because of this effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum that it can lower blood sugar and improve glucose metabolism.
5. Promote sleep
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can regulate the balance of cerebral cortex excitation and inhibition, has two-way regulation on the central nervous system, and has the effects of sedation, hypnosis, anti-tension, fatigue relief, and memory enhancement.
6. Slow aging
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can prolong the number of generations of cell reproduction, the number of regeneration of human skin cells from 22 generations to 27 generations, prolong the lifespan of cells by 22.7%, and increase the activity and endurance of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Inhibits the formation of lipofuscin (a substance that causes human aging), and has the effects of blackening hair, growing hair, and beautifying the skin.
7. Improve immunity
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can improve the ability of macrophages, significantly increase the number of white blood cells, and at the same time increase the phagocytosis of white blood cells, promote the secretion of interleukins in the body, increase the production of serum immunoglobulins, and induce the production of interferon, which has a two-way regulatory effect on the immune system .
8. Regulate human physiological functions
Gynostemma can protect the adrenal gland, thymus gland and endocrine organs from atrophy with age, maintain the function of the endocrine system, and have the effect of lowering blood sugar and improving glucose metabolism.
