Whats the connection between Ginseng and Jiaogulan?
Jiaogulan is often referred to as 5-leaf Ginseng or poor mans Ginseng. The most popular Ginseng has 28 Saponins and Jiaogulan has 82! A Japanese scientist found that one of Jiaogulan’s saponin molecules has the same molecular structure as a saponin molecule in Ginseng. More test will have to be done to see what connection exists between Ginseng and Jiaogulan, if any.
