Extended information:

Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea contains not only sterols, sugars and pigments, but also more than 5 kinds of saponins, including tetracyclic triterpenoids, including four kinds of aesculin ⅲ, ⅳ, ⅶ, which are the same substances as ginsenoside Rb1, Rb3, Rd and F2, respectively, and the Rd is eight times that of ginseng, without sex hormones.

Its acid hydrolysate has the same physical and chemical properties as that of ginsenoside-panaxadiol. This is very rare in non-Araliaceae plants, so it is called "the second ginseng", and it is also called "southern ginseng" because it grows in the south. In Shunhuang Mountain, Langshan Mountain and Suining of Hunan Province, a large number of wild Gynostemma pentaphyllum grows because of its mild and humid climate.

The saponins of Gynostemma pentaphyllum are mostly distributed in the leaves, and the saponin content in the leaves is more than that in other parts.
