Jiaogulan - the Herb of Immortality
(as featured in the March issue of Woman's World)
Discover the herb that makes stress roll right off you! It?s the latest Chinese herbal sensation?and new studies show it can erase stress, protect you from aging and rein in high blood pressures and cholesterol!
Imagine waking up ready to take on the world. No traffic jam or deadline can spoil your mood, and your body brims with energy. Seem impossible? It?s not: you can feel that way every day, thanks to a supplement the Chinese have used for centuries. It?s Jiaogulan (gee-OW-goo-lahn), a substance extracted from the leaves of the ginseng plant. ?Studies prove its health benefits,? says herbal researcher Jialui Liu, M.D. And it?s so effective at preventing signs of aging, the Chinese call it the immortality herb! Try it and you could:
Banish Stress
?When you?re tense, you produce stress hormones,? says Dr. Liu. ?They over stimulate the nervous system, making you even more tense and triggering more stress hormones!? Jiaogulan to the rescue. Athletes who took it before a competition reported feeling less tense and more focused. And when people who couldn?t sleep due to stress took 60 mg. of Jiaogulan daily, 95% were sleeping well within a week!
Stay Younger Longer
Signs of aging are avoidable, say the pros?if you tame the free radicals that cause them. ?If free radicals aren?t shut down, they cause everything from cataracts to cancer,? explains biochemist Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D. But studies show taking 40 mg. Of Jiaogulan daily triples your production of superoxide dismutase, a chemical that neutralizes free radicals by 21%. ?That can mean fewer wrinkles and a younger body,? says Dr. Liu.
Power Up your immune system
Its ability to keep stress hormones under control also makes Jiaogulan a powerful immunity-booster. ?Stress hormones weaken immunity,? says Dharmananda, ?but Jiaogulan prevents them from flooding your system and making you more vulnerable to illness.? In fact, research suggests a daily dose could cut your risk of colds, flu and infections 33%. And preliminary research suggest Jiaogulan boosts infection fighting blood cells so dramatically 240 mg. Daily could cut cancer-cell production 30%!
Heal your heart
No doubt you?ve heard that high blood pressure and cholesterol can damage your heart?s arteries. Buy researchers say they?re no match for Jiaogulan. Sutdies show taking 300 mg. daily for just two weeks can cut high blood pressure readings of 220/100 to a normal 120/80! The reason, says pros; Jiaogulan boosts production of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes blood vessel walls. And although, no one?s sure yet why, follow-up research show 300 mg. daily also slashes artery-clogging LDL cholesterol levels an incredible 25%. ?So while it?s making you feel better and calmer, it?s also making your heart healthier,? says Dr. Liu.
