Spring Dragon Longevity Tea is a very special tea, unlike any other tea on the market. It is actually a classical form of an elixir that in China was literally called a “longevity tea.” Spring Dragon Longevity Tea has one main “bulk” or “raw” herb, Gynostemma leaf, plus 5 tonic herb extracts. Gynostemma is a remarkable herb known in Asia as “magical grass.” It has been reported to have a wide range of health-promoting benefits.
In Asia, Gynostemma is considered to be:
Invigorating (does not cause hyperactivity – not a stimulant)
Calming (promotes a sense of peace – not a sedative)
Antioxidant
Immune-supporting in various ways – it may be consumed daily
A respiratory tonic
A digestive aid
Gynostemma supports normal healthy functioning of the liver and cardiovascular organs and tissues.
The ultimate greatness of Gynostemma lies in its broad spectrum ADAPTOGENIC (stress modulating) quality. Adaptogenic herbs help improve the efficiency of the metabolic, neurological, immunologic, respiratory and endocrine systems in normal healthy people. Prolonged consumption of Gynostemma supports the adaptive capacity of people at every level of their life.
Gynostemma has “double-direction” activity
Gynostemma supports physiological balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances.
Gynostemma has a double-direction, regulating, adaptogenic influence on the central nervous system. It is calming when one is overexcited and invigorating when one is fatigued.
Gynostemma is widely known for its “spirit-lifting” effect on one’s mood.
Gynostemma may have a beneficial effect on the heart by supporting circulation.
Gynostemma helps balance the body’s metabolism.
Gynostemma has developed an enormous reputation in Asia as a major aid in weight management programs. Gynostemma has been shown to have a double-direction activity with regard to weight. Gynostemma can be useful in reducing excessive body fat, when combined with a reasonable exercise program and a healthy diet that modulates caloric intake. Gynostemma may also help athletes, body builders or slim people to gain weight.
The main active ingredients in Gynostemma are known as saponins
The saponins in Gynostemma are called gypenosides. There are over 140 gypenosides in Dragon Herbs’ Gynostemma.
These gypenosides are the constituents responsible for the adaptogenic qualities of this tonic herb.
Ingredients: Gynostemma leaf, Schizandra fruit, Goji berries, Astragalus root, Eleuthero root, Luo Han Guo fruit.
In 1972, a group of Japanese researchers reported that Gynostemma tea was being consumed as a daily “longevity tea” by large numbers of southern Chinese people. It was revered in the regions where it grows as “magical grass” because of its many reputed health benefits.
This led the Japanese researchers to study the constituents and pharmacology of Gynostemma. The researchers discovered that the chemical constituents responsible for the adaptogenic characteristics of Gynostemma are more than 180 different saponins called Gypenoside. Gypenosides are structurally and functionally very similar to ginsenosides, which are the active constituents of Ginseng root (Panax ginseng). In fact, many of them ARE ginsenosides, just in another plant than ginseng. This is the broadest known range of saponins in any one plant in nature. Ginseng, for example, has about 100 saponins (ginsenosides). The Gypenosides are so similar to the ginsenosides of Ginseng that in China, Gynostemma is called “Ginseng at tea price”.
Strong antifatigue effect
Energizing (not a stimulant)
Calming (promotes relaxation and a sense of peace – not a sedative)
Anti-aging (exhibits antioxidant activity)
Supportive of the body’s systemic double-direction immune response
A respiratory tonic (helps support a healthy respiratory system)
A digestive aid (Gynostemma is very soothing to the stomach by protecting the stomach lining)
Gynostemma has been shown in some studies to help to support normal healthy hepatic and cardiovascular function.
Gynostemma accelerates the body’s metabolism and helps maintain healthy blood sugar and blood fat levels already within a normal range. Maintaining healthy blood sugar and blood fat already within a normal range are critical steps in attaining healthy metabolic function, whether one wants to lose weight by reducing excessive body fat, gain weight by building lean muscle, or maintain healthy weight by helping regulate bodily functions.

Although Gynostemma is not a laxative
Adaptogenic
Dragon Herbs gynostemma is grown near the top of Great Immortal Peak, a remote pristine mountain in Southern China, without the use of any chemicals or modern equipment. It is grown totally on mountain spring water and natural precipitation. Most of the Gynostemma sold in the United States is grown at low altitude as an adjunctive farm product, usually around corn fields. The water in these farms is not nearly as pure as the fresh mountain spring water that feeds the Great Immortal Peak Gynostemma plot. Also, the common low lying fields are fumigated and unnaturally fertilized. Dragon Herbs’ Gynostemma is grown in a completely clean, naturally fertile environment. Most manufacturers leave the stems in the Gynostemma before extracting
