Botanical Origin & Raw Material Superiority
Gynostemma pentaphyllum, frequently referred to as "Southern Ginseng" due to its similar functional profile to Panax ginseng, is a climbing vine native to mountainous regions of Asia. While it shares many adaptogenic benefits with ginseng, Jiaogulan boasts a unique and broader array of saponins.
At Plant Extract Supply, our extract is meticulously derived from the premium, sustainably harvested leaves of the Gynostemma plant. To ensure maximum extraction of active phyto-compounds while maintaining clean-label standards, we utilize a well-controlled, food-grade solvent system of Purified Water and Ethanol.
