Everyone's heard about Viagra and it's effect on both male and female libido. But most people haven't bothered to read the insert in the package that explains the biochemical effects behind the hype. It turns out that the secret to Viagra is an increase in the nitic-oxide levels in the blood. Jiaogulan has been shown in several studies to have a very similar biochemical effect!

Jiaogulan Linked to Nitric Oxide Production in Blood Vessels

Tanner, MA et al. The Direct Release of Nitric Oxide by Gypenosides Derived from the Herb Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Nitric Oxide Oct. 1999.

Dr. Tanner and his team from Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigated the vasorelaxation effects of Jiaogulan. They found that gypenosides from Jiaogulan caused the lining of blood vessels to release nitric oxide.. The nitric oxide release relaxed the blood vessels resulting in more efficient blood flow.
