What is Jule of the Orient™?

Jule of the Orient™ is an energizing blend of Jiaogulan (jee-ow-goo-lahn) - known in China as the “Immortality Herb” - and 21 carefully selected, health-promoting super nutrients from around the world. Jule is a tonic that provides adaptogens, phytonutrients, and antioxidants that allow us to live life to the fullest!
We've explained above that Jule of the Orient™ is a tonic made formulated from Jiagulan, but what is Jiaogulan? 

Gynostemma pentaphyllum, also called jiaogulan (Chinese: 绞股蓝; pinyin: jiǎogǔlán, literally "twisting-vine-orchid") is an herbaceous vine of the family Cucurbitaceae (cucumber or gourd family) indigenous to the southern reaches of China, southern Korea and Japan.  Jiaogulan is best known as an herbal medicine reputed to have powerful antioxidant and adaptogenic effects that increase longevity.











This rare class of herbs has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Adaptogens are claimed to 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. For example, 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.

Does Jule™ treat, cure or prevent disease?

Of course not. It is not the purpose of a natural tonic product such as Jule to treat, cure, or prevent disease!


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 rival that of any plant 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.
