Gynostemma
is generally reinforcing to overall health, has a
strong anti-fatigue effect. Gynostemma is
universally believed in Asia to be an anti-aging
herb. In China, Gynostemma pentaphyllum is widely
believed to have the following health benefits: to
slow down aging and to prevent feebleness at all
ages, and in particular to reduce fatigue, to
increase vigor; to reduce oxygen deficiency at
high altitudes; to improve digestion; to
strengthen the mind; and to improve sex functions.
It is also believed to help calm the nerves and to
ease pain.
Japanese
studies have indicated that Gynostemma has a
double-direction, regulating, adaptogenic
influence of the central nervous system. It is
calming when one is overexcited and stimulating
when one is depressed. Japanese studies have shown
that Gynostemma is clinically useful in a number
of mental and neurological conditions, including
simple depression, anxiety and schizophrenia.
Gynostemma
has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a
major aid in weight control programs. It has a
double direction activity with regard to weight.
It will help reduce weight in overweight people,
and can help athletes, bodybuilders or excessively
slim people gain weight. As a diet herb, it helps
by accelerating the body’s metabolism. It also
helps adjust blood sugar and reduce blood fat.
Adjusting blood sugar and blood fat are critical
steps in attaining healthy metabolic function,
whether one wants to lose or gain weight.
Gynostemma has been shown to have profound effects
at reducing simple obesity. Japanese and Chinese
studies indicate that Gynostemma lowers low
density lipoprotein (LDL---"bad
cholesterol") while increasing high density
lipoprotein (HDL---"good cholesterol").

As a
result of modern technology and vastly improved
manufacturing capabilities previously not

the first time. There has been a genuine explosion
of interest in ant tonic products now that it is,
for the first time, not a product reserved just
for emperors, rich nobles and their wives and
families.
Varieties
and Grading:
Several varieties of ants are used in Chinese
tonic herbalism, all with virtually the same
attributes. These different varieties come from
different regions in China. Each region claims
that its ants are superior. Both black ants
(primarily from southern and central China) and
red ants (primarily from northeastern China) are
used. Ants from high, pristine.
