Jiaogulan is a member of same family as cucumbers, melons, and gourds. 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 eclipse that of any plant yet 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. This rare class of herbs has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Adaptogens also 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. 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.

Although it is now cultivated in many Asian countries, it is widely acknowledged that the best and most effective jiaogulan grows in the forests and foothills of its original home in China.

The exact amount of jiaogulan, or of the other supernutrients contained in Jule, is not disclosed. This is considered one of the company's greatest intellectual assets. However, rest assured that each serving contains a highly efficacious amount of active ingredients specifically formulated to deliver maximum nutritional benefits.

Saponins are a diverse group of chemicals found throughout the plant kingdom, and many have been studied for their health benefits. Jiaogulan contains an elite subgroup of saponins called gypenosides, which may prove to exert the most profound influence on human health. Their structure is similar to the chemical structure of key hormones, and although gypenosides do not function as hormones, they have a remarkable ability to influence the body to produce a healthy balance of its own hormones. Jiaogulan contains more saponins than any other plant, and its bioactive gypenosides are not found in any other species.

No. It is not the purpose of a natural product such as Jule to treat, cure, or prevent disease; the FDA only approves drugs to offer these benefits.

There is no official approval process or certificate issued by the FDA to approve the sale of any food or dietary supplement. The Food and Drug Administration has established stringent regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), to ensure the safety and manufacturing of foods sold in the United States. Jule is manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility.

Jule is guaranteed to be fully potent for two years from the manufacturing date when kept unopened under cool and dry conditions. Product must be refrigerated upon opening and should be used within 30 days of opening.

Jule is extremely safe and jiaogulan has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, please seek out the advice of a nutritionally oriented medical practitioner before using.

Yes. Jule is a perfect partner for the entire FreeLife family of products, including GoChi®, REVERSE™ and TAIslim™. Use all FreeLife products as directed, even when taken with Jule.

The daily dosage of Jule is flexible, depending upon one's needs. Although you can drink as much Jule as you want, we recommend starting with 1-2 ounces twice daily (for a total of 2 - 4 ounces per day), preferably with your morning and evening meals. As you continue to drink Jule, you may wish to adjust your daily serving to achieve the results you seek. For performance enhancement (sports, etc.), an additional 2 ounces can be taken 30 - 50 minutes before physical activity. Always shake well before pouring Jule. Some people may prefer to mix Jule with water or the beverage of their choice. This is perfectly fine and all the benefits of Jule can still be enjoyed.

Jule™ packs a lot of goodness into each serving. In fact, this liquid tonic is so potent that it is actually super-saturated. The small amount of precipitated nutrients at the bottom of the bottle will go right back into solution with a few quick shakes, and you'll be able to enjoy the full power of Jule!

Yes, children of all ages can enjoy Jule, but the dosage can be reduced to ½-1 ounce once to twice daily for children under age 12.

Yes. Flash pasteurization is a process that involves a short period of gentle heating at temperatures well below the boiling point, followed by a rapid cooling in order to retain flavor and nutrient value. This process ensures the elimination of bacteria and other microbes, as your safety is our highest priority. FreeLife conducts post-production testing to ensure that Jule retains full nutrient content and potency.

Jule is manufactured under Federal Good Manufacturing Practices at an FDA-compliant facility in the United States from highest-quality ingredients that are sourced from reputable vendors around the world.

As the name suggests, plants known as adaptogens help the body to adapt. Whether it’s to physical, emotional, or chemical stresses, these special herbs help your body cope better, allowing it to return to a state of balance (homeostasis). Adaptogens also help to maintain the strength and immune resistance of the entire organism.

Antioxidants are nutrients that protect the cells in your body from oxidative damage. As the body uses oxygen, there are by-products known as "free radicals" that can cause damage to cells. Antioxidants are known to denature these free radicals, and high antioxidant status in the body is associated with a decreased risk of many chronic diseases. Many fruits and vegetables have high antioxidant capacity, and Jule is outstanding in this regard. It provides the antioxidant capacity of 15 servings of fruits and vegetables in just 4 ounces.

Preservatives help maintain a product’s freshness. Sodium benzoate, the sodium salt of benzoic acid, can prevent the growth of almost all microorganisms (e.g., yeast, bacteria, and fungi). Benzoic acid is found naturally in tea, anise, most berries, cultured dairy products and cheese, cherry bark, and cassia bark. As a result of extensive safety data and long years of widespread use, the United States government has determined sodium benzoate to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Jule contains less than one-tenth of one percent sodium benzoate, which is just the right amount to keep harmful microbes from growing.

Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid, a polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth. Sorbic acid has been repeatedly tested for safety and efficacy, and today stands as one of the most thoroughly tested food additives in history.

People in China have been drinking herbal tonics and remedies for generations, but for those outside of Asia, they may be an “acquired taste.” High-quality jiaogulan is somewhat bitter by nature so Jule is blended together with a small amount of organic cane juice, natural fruit juice, and natural flavor. Some people may prefer to mix Jule with the beverage of their choice. This is perfectly fine and all the benefits of Jule can still be enjoyed.
