First of all, it can better help us improve our body's immunity, promote the secretion of interleukins in the human body, increase serum immune proteins, and it can also help regulate endocrine, effectively lower blood sugar and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

1. Gynostemma pentaphyllum improves immunity

1. Bidirectional regulation of the immune system

Gynostemma pentaphyllum can enhance macrophage ability, significantly increase the number of white blood cells, while increasing the phagocytic function of white blood cells themselves, promoting the secretion of interleukins in the body, and increasing the production of serum immune proteins.
