Jiaogulan belongs to the same family of plants as cucumbers and melons, but it does not bear an edible fruit or vegetable. Harvested in the late summer, the leaves of Jiaogulan are dried and used for healthcare products and medicine.
Although it has long been used for beverages and medicine in southern China, Jiaogulan was not known to the general scientific community until relatively recently.
Currently, researchers are investigating the role of Jiaogulan in preventing and treating a wide variety of conditions. Studies have confirmed the following benefits of Jiaogulan:
Regulation of cholesterol and triglycerides level
Maintaining healthy blood pressure
Improving digestion
Increase strength and endurance
Support the immune system
Regulation of hormonal functions
