DESCRIPTION
Note: Gynostemma saponin is an Ankang invention. Gynostemma is one of the leading industries of Ankang, and the only geographical indication of gynostemma origin in China is protected in Pingli County, Ankang City.
Plant origin
Gynostemma Pentaphylum (Thunb.) Mak.) It is a perennial grassy vine in the Cucurbitaceae family.
The active ingredient in gynostemma - gynostemma saponin (gynostemma total saponin), gynostemma total glycoside is a medicinal and health active ingredient of gynostemma herb obtained through modern phytochemical extraction process, refined and purified. It is a medicinal and food homologous product prescribed by the Ministry of Health. Gynostemma total glycosides have anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-thrombosis, anti-aging, anti-glucocorticoid side effects, anti-tumor "six antibodies" effect, and have the effect of adjusting blood pressure, protecting ischemic myocardium, enhancing myocardial contractility performance, and improving immunity, and the flavonoids and small molecule saponins contained in gynostemma have the functions of regulating fat metabolism and reducing obesity.
In recent years, with the further in-depth study of the chemical composition of gynostemma, it has been proved that its components are mainly saponins, flavonoids, polysaccharides and amino acids.
1. At present, 84 kinds of monomeric saponins have been divided into saponins, all of which belong to the structure of dama liposanols, of which gynostemma saponins 3, 4, 8, X2 and ginsenosides Rb1, Rd3, Rb, F2 are the same substance, gynostemma saponin 1 is enzymatically hydrolyzed to obtain ginsenoside K3, gynostemma saponin V-AH is the same as ginsenoside Rg3, the rest can be regarded as the isomer of protoginsengdiol and protoginsetriol, and the total glycoside content is three times that of Korean ginseng.
2. Amino acids Domestic scholars reported on the determination of amino acids contained in gynostemma that the total content of 14 amino acids measured by Hunan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine reached 6.5824mg/g, including 6 essential amino acids.
3. Trace element gynostemma contains various macroelements and trace elements, the trace elements manganese (Mm), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), etc. required by the human body have a high content in gynostemma, and gynostemma from Shaanxi contains selenium (Se).
4. Flavonoids found that gynostemma contains flavonoids, with a total flavonoid of up to 3%.
5. After preliminary analysis, polysaccharides contain fructose, glucose, galactose and oligosaccharides in gynostemma and leaves. Polysaccharides are complex and multifaceted bioactive components, which have the effects of improving the body's immune function, anti-tumor, anti-radiation and so on. Gynostemma polysaccharides also have anti-aging and other effects.
Content determination
The content of gynostemma total glycoside-A is greater than 98% (commonly used health products and food additives content is combined with 20%-98% of various specifications), ultraviolet (UV) detection.
