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

The above is an introduction to the medicinal effects and functions of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. After understanding it, we know that Gynostemma pentaphyllum can play a good role in treating the three highs and diabetes. Therefore, we can choose to use Gynostemma pentaphyllum to soak in water according to our physical condition in daily life.
