Addictive Wellness Gynostemma Leaf Extract Powder – Pure Jiaogulan Adaptogen, 1 Packet

What Is Gynostemma Leaf Extract?

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, commonly referred to as jiaogulan or Southern Ginseng, is a climbing vine native to parts of Asia. Its leaves have a centuries-long history in traditional herbal practices. This extract is crafted from wild crafted leaves and concentrated at a 10:1 ratio—meaning ten grams of raw leaf are used to produce each gram of extract. The result is a potent, pure powder abundant in naturally occurring gypenosides, a class of adaptogenic saponins traditionally used to help the body respond to stress and support overall vitality.

Unlike many herbal supplements that contain fillers or flow agents, this single-ingredient powder delivers only the active botanical. It mixes readily into hot water, tea, or smoothies, making it a simple addition to your daily wellness routine.
