What are the therapeutic effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum

The three highs are a common phenomenon in our lives, which always cause us to experience dizziness and obesity, which will seriously affect our health. Especially if we do not pay attention to our diet after treatment, it is easy to relapse. Among them, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a common health tea in our lives, which can better improve our body. Let’s learn about the therapeutic effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum.

What are the therapeutic effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum

Lowering blood lipids

Gynostemma pentaphyllum has the effects of significantly lowering cholesterol (TCH), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), protecting the vascular lining cells, preventing lipid deposition in the blood vessel wall, and resisting arteriosclerosis.

Regulate blood pressure and prevent thrombosis

Gynostemma pentaphyllum has the obvious function of reducing blood viscosity and adjusting blood pressure. It can also prevent the formation of microthrombi and increase the tolerance of myocardial cells to hypoxia, thus playing a role in protecting the myocardium. Thrombosis is caused by a variety of factors. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract has good disintegration or inhibition functions on thrombi formed by a variety of factors, indicating that Gynostemma pentaphyllum is an anti-thrombotic drug with multiple functions such as inhibiting platelet function, coagulation function and red blood cell aggregation.

Prevent and treat cardiovascular disease

Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract has a significant protective effect on experimental myocardial infarction: it can reduce the scope of myocardial infarction, inhibit the increase of free fatty acids (FFA) after myocardial infarction, reduce the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protect the activity of myocardial SOD and creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and correct the metabolic disorder of FFA during myocardial ischemia. Therefore, it has a good protective effect on myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Gynostemma pentaphyllum's lipid metabolism regulation and antioxidant effects are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. Clinical trials have also demonstrated the good effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum in treating coronary heart disease.

Regulate blood sugar

Gynostemma pentaphyllum 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 sugar metabolism.

Promotes sleep:

Gynostemma pentaphyllum can regulate the balance of excitation and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, has a bidirectional regulatory effect on the central nervous system, and has the effects of calming, hypnotizing, resisting tension, relieving fatigue, and enhancing memory.

The above is an introduction to the therapeutic effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. After understanding it, we know that Gynostemma pentaphyllum can play a good role in treating hyperlipidemia and promoting sleep, and it also has certain benefits for the treatment of diabetes, but we must use boiling water when brewing it.
