Nature’s Greatest Treasure®

Jiaogulan: The “Immortality Herb”

Because of its versatility to promote health and longevity, jiaogulan has become renowned throughout China as the “Immortality Herb.” Over the past three decades, more than 300 scientific papers on jiaogulan have been published in respected journals. These research studies have identified gypenoside saponins as the bioactive principles responsible for most of jiaogulan’s wide-ranging benefits, although the plant contains a wealth of other important compounds as well.

Jiaogulan has been shown to:

• Provide superior adaptogenic support to keep the body in balance

• Maintain normal, healthy immune function

• Act as a powerful antioxidant

• Fight against the effects of aging

• Enhance physical and mental energy

TonicA liquid preparation of herbs and nutrients formulated to promote a long, healthy, and vibrant life.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a tonic has a protective, balancing, and energizing quality that benefits one’s entire well-being and creates “radiant health.” Jiaogulan has become the premier balancing herb in all of TCM, and Jule of the Orient® is the premier Jiaogulan tonic. Jiaogulan is the foundation of Jule, with its patent pending blend of the three most important aspects of the “Immortality Herb”: a highly bioactive gypenoside saponin extract along with the entire spectrum of health-promoting nutrients from freeze-dried whole herb and juices pressed from the leaf, stem, and root.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, individual herbs are rarely used alone. Therefore, our patent pending jiaogulan is formulated with a proprietary blend of 21 synergistic Chinese herbs and phytonutrient-rich superfoods. Each ingredient was specifically chosen by Sorvana’s Science Team for its unique ability to dramatically enhance the powerful antioxidant and body-balancing adaptogenic properties of our full-spectrum jiaogulan. Together, they give Jule of the Orient a synergistic effect that is far greater than would be obtained by taking each of these supernutrients separately.

ScienceEnjoy the powerful benefits of Jioagulan!

Jule of the Orient is the premier jiaogulan tonic. Just 2-4 ounces per day provides you with the adaptogens, phytonutrients, and antioxidants you need to live life to the fullest. If desired, you may consume Jule with the beverage of your choice.

It is well known in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the body absorbs liquids faster and more effectively than solids or powders. Therefore, a liquid tonic is always the preferred delivery system. The people in the southern provinces of China who call jiaogulan the “Immortality Herb” know this instinctively as they drink jiaogulan each day.

Jiaogulan contains unique bioactive gypenoside saponins, which account for most of its wide-ranging health benefits, but it is indisputable that there are other important key nutrients to be found in the “Immortality Herb.” Through a patent pending process, Sorvana has combined the three most important components of jiaogulan (high-gypenoside saponin extract, whole freeze-dried herb, and juice from the leaf, stem, and root) to create the most effective and most complete jiaogulan tonic in the world.

Results Show Significant Differences with Jule®

Significant differences were found in the Jule® group (N=12) and consisted of decreased ratings for tiredness, procrastination, stiff shoulder, heartburn, physical discomfort, vision issues, stress, memory loss, daydream and increased stamina. In contrast, the placebo group (N=12) showed no significant changes (Fig. 1).

Fasting glucose level in the Jule group tended to be suppressed compared to the placebo group, but total cholesterol level was not changed (Fig. 2).

All other parametric data, such as body weight, BMI, blood pressure were not significantly different (data not shown).

Study Shows Jule® Improves MicrocirculationProper circulation is essential for health and longevity. Although many people may be familiar with veins and arteries, they may not know most of the vital functions of circulation are actually performed in the microcirculation network of capillaries. These tiny blood vessels – many of which are only 1/10th the diameter of a human hair – are essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body’s organs and tissues, and also for removing carbon dioxide, metabolic wastes, and toxins. The human microcirculation network is vast, containing more than 18,000 miles of capillaries to feed the body’s 10 trillion cells.

Many factors can adversely affect microcirculation, including stress, and tobacco and alcohol use. Poor microcirculation also plays a significant role in various debilitating conditions.

Because of its wide-ranging effects on health, scientists have been exploring ways to improve microcirculation, with much current research being focused on the body chemical nitric oxide. Secreted in the lining of blood vessels, nitric oxide allows veins, arteries, and capillaries to relax so that blood can flow normally through them. Without adequate nitric oxide, microcirculation can be significantly impaired. The Chinese herb jiaogulan has attracted the interest of scientists because of its demonstrated ability to increase microcirculation in in vitro laboratory studies. According to noted pathologist and medical professor Dr. Jialiu Liu, jiaogulan’s circulation-enhancing effects result from increased nitric oxide release in the capillaries, which is mediated by bioactive jiaogulan compounds known as gypenoside saponins.

To test the microcirculation-enhancing abilities of jiaogulan in vivo in humans, Sorvana scientists chose to study Jule of the Orient®, a proprietary gypenoside-standardized tonic derived from full-spectrum, whole-plant jiaogulan. In the study, subjects received a single dose of two ounces (60 mL) of Jule, and changes in peripheral circulation in the hands were tracked using an advanced laser Doppler scanner. Statistical analysis showed that Jule® significantly increased circulation by as much as 60 percent over baseline level, and that microcirculation was still improved over baseline even six hours after intake. Amagase H and Campbell J. FASEB J. 2010; 24:lb334

These results suggest that Jule may have an acute stimulating effect on peripheral blood circulation, which in turn may be a contributing factor in the health improvements observed in other clinical studies of Jule.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is jiaogulan? Jiaogulan is a member of same family as cucumbers, melons, and gourds. It grows in five-leaf clusters, hence its botanical name, Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Jiaogulan has a long history of use in China, but is just now gaining popularity worldwide because of new scientific research supporting a wide range of health benefits that may very well eclipse that of any plant yet discovered. In its native home in southern China, jiaogulan is so revered that it is called xiancao (“herb of immortality”).

Jiaogulan’s broad spectrum of biological effects can be explained by its status as a potent adaptogen. This rare class of herbs has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Adaptogens also enhance the body’s ability to defend itself by improving immunity and increasing energy, stamina, and endurance. The chemical constituents responsible for the balancing effects of adaptogens are called saponins, and these exist in many forms. It is believed that the adaptogenic power of an herb is directly proportional to its content and variety of saponins. With 28 saponins, Panax ginseng is renowned as an adaptogen.But jiaogulan contains more than 100 health-giving saponins, which experts proclaim to be a broader and more powerful range than any other plant in nature. These include unique gypenoside saponins that are not found in any other species.

Where does jioagulan grow?Although it is now cultivated in many Asian countries, it is widely acknowledged that the best and most effective jiaogulan grows in the forests and foothills of its original home in China.

How much jiaogulan is in Jule®?The exact amount of jiaogulan, or of the other supernutrients contained in Jule, is not disclosed. This is considered one of the company’s greatest intellectual assets. However, rest assured that each serving contains a highly efficacious amount of active ingredients specifically formulated to deliver maximum nutritional benefits.

What are gypenoside saponins? Saponins are a diverse group of chemicals found throughout the plant kingdom, and many have been studied for their health benefits. Jiaogulan contains an elite subgroup of saponins called gypenosides, which may prove to exert the most profound influence on human health. Their structure is similar to the chemical structure of key hormones, and although gypenosides do not function as hormones, they have a remarkable ability to influence the body to produce a healthy balance of its own hormones. Jiaogulan contains more saponins than any other plant, and its bioactive gypenosides are not found in any other species.

Does Jule treat, cure or prevent disease? No. It is not the purpose of a natural product such as Jule to treat, cure, or prevent disease; the FDA only approves drugs to offer these benefits.

Is Jule FDA approved?There is no official approval process or certificate issued by the FDA to approve the sale of any food or dietary supplement. The Food and Drug Administration has established stringent regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), to ensure the safety and manufacturing of foods sold in the United States. Jule is manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility.

What is the shelf life of Jule?Jule is guaranteed to be fully potent for two years from the manufacturing date when kept unopened under cool and dry conditions. Product must be refrigerated upon opening and should be used within 30 days of opening.

Is Jule safe?Jule is extremely safe and jiaogulan has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, please seek out the advice of a nutritionally oriented medical practitioner before using.

Can Jule be used with other Sorvana products?Yes. Jule is a perfect partner for the entire Sorvana family of products, including GoChi®, REVERSE!® and TAIslim®. Use all Sorvana products as directed, even when taken with Jule.

What is the best way to drink Jule? The daily dosage of Jule is flexible, depending upon one’s needs. Although you can drink as much Jule as you want, we recommend starting with 1-2 ounces twice daily (for a total of 2-4 ounces per day), preferably with your morning and evening meals. As you continue to drink Jule, you may wish to adjust your daily serving to achieve the results you seek. For performance enhancement (sports, etc.), an additional 2 ounces can be taken 30-50 minutes before physical activity. Always shake well before pouring Jule. Some people may prefer to mix Jule with water or the beverage of their choice. This is perfectly fine and all the benefits of Jule can still be enjoyed.

Why do I have to shake Jule before pouring?Jule packs a lot of goodness into each serving. In fact, this liquid tonic is so potent that it is actually super-saturated. The small amount of precipitated nutrients at the bottom of the bottle will go right back into solution with a few quick shakes, and you’ll be able to enjoy the full power of Jule!
