nitric oxide regulator - this is probably a good thing if NO is high??

just wondering what everyone thinks?

i've used in the past and actually really enjoyed this herb...

I think it's a good adaptogen, especially for blood sugar issues but I could not stand the taste of the tea. I prefer ginseng especially if you are a man, Jiaogulan is considered the poor man's ginseng after all.

I drink Spring Dragon Tea occasionally and must say I feel much better after drinking it. For whatever reason, feels like an overall health elixir.

I've tried this herb and didn't notice much apart from it being calming and helping relax in the evenings.

Just saw this thead below in 'useful threads', for more info:

Gynostemma and Saponins

I took it twice daily as a tea, for several months. Never noticed anything from it. But my luck with adaptogens has always been about 50/50. I have tried around 20 adaptogens by now. I stopped taking it, was expensive and not remarkable.

It may be relaxing because it is known to lower blood pressure, among its other benefits.

I've found I lose weight on it, especially if I eat more sugar.

Is it estrogenic? I once took American Ginseng and it was very, very estrogenic, it made my varicocele hurt.

Makes sense that it really helpts insulin sensitivity then. Before minoxidil I could lose fat from eating loads of sugar in lowfat milk. Now it just stops me from gaining. I have a plan how to reverse minoxidils damaging effects when I am completely finished with it. I know how to do it and have done a simillar experiment earlier...

I'm interested to hear about it, since I've used minoxidil before
