Efficacy, function and contraindication of Gynostemma

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, also known as: Paradise grass, Gospel grass, super ginseng, Gongluo pot bottom, rooting everywhere, horse chestnut, five leaf ginseng and horse chestnut, etc. Latin name: Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino Cucurbitaceae, Gynostemma genus Herbaceous climbing plant; stem slender, branched, with longitudinal ribs and grooves, glabrous or sparsely pubescent. In Japan, it is called Ganman tea.

 

The efficacy and role of Gynostemma pentaphyllum:

1. Lowering blood lipids

Gynostemma tea can significantly reduce cholesterol (TCH), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), protect vascular lining cells, prevent lipid deposition in the blood vessel wall, and resist arterial hardening effect.

 

2. Regulate blood pressure to prevent thrombosis

Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea can significantly reduce blood viscosity, adjust blood pressure, prevent microthrombosis and increase the tolerance of myocardial cells to hypoxia, which can protect the heart muscle. Thrombosis is caused by a variety of factors. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have proved that Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract has a good depolymerization or inhibitory function on thrombus formed by various factors, indicating that Gynostemma pentaphyllum can inhibit 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 scope of myocardial infarction, inhibit the increase of free fatty acid (FFA) after myocardial infarction, reduce the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protect myocardial SOD and creatine phosphokinase ( CPK) activity, correcting the metabolic disturbance of FFA during myocardial ischemia. Therefore, it has a good protective effect on myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Gynostemma's regulation of lipid metabolism and antioxidant effects are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and clinical trials have also proved the good effect of Gynostemma in the treatment of coronary heart disease.

4. Regulate blood sugar

Gynostemma can protect the adrenal glands, thymus and endocrine organs, and maintain the normal function of the endocrine system. It is precisely because of this effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum that it has the effect of lowering blood sugar and improving glucose metabolism.

 

5. Promote sleep

Gynostemma can regulate the balance of excitatory and inhibitory responses of the cerebral cortex, has a two-way regulating effect on the central nervous system, and has the effects of sedation, hypnosis, anti-stress, fatigue relief, and memory enhancement.

 

6. Slow down aging

Gynostemma pentaphyllum can prolong the number of generations of cell reproduction, the number of human skin cell regeneration from 22 generations to 27 generations, prolong cell lifespan by 22.7%, and increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and endurance. Inhibits the formation of lipofuscin (a substance that causes human aging), and has the effects of black hair, hair growth, and skin beauty.

 

7. Anti-cancer

It has been proved by pharmacological practice that Gynostemma pentaphyllum can prevent normal cells from becoming cancerous, mainly acts on the DNA synthesis process of tumor cells, and improves the gene mutation ability of tumor cells.

 

8. Improve immunity

Gynostemma can improve the ability of macrophages, significantly increase the number of white blood cells, at the same time increase the phagocytic function of white blood cells, promote the secretion of interleukins in the body, increase the production of serum immunoglobulins, and can induce the production of interferon. .

 

9. Regulate the physiological functions of the human body

Gynostemma can protect the adrenal glands, thymus and endocrine organs from shrinking with age, maintain the function of the endocrine system, and have the effects of lowering blood sugar and improving glucose metabolism.

 

10. Improve immunity and eliminate sub-health

Sub-health refers to an intermediate state between health and disease that is neither health nor disease. It refers to a physiological and psychological state in which the body has no organic disease indicators, but it has decreased immunity, low physiological function, decreased vitality, and decreased adaptability. health status.

 

The main active ingredients of Gynostemma are Gynostemma saponins, Gynostemma glycosides (polysaccharides), water-soluble amino acids, flavonoids, vitamins, trace elements, minerals, etc.

 

Taboo:After taking the medicine, a small number of patients have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea (or constipation), dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, etc. If the above symptoms appear, they can stop and rest.
