The Gut Is the Center of Whole-Body Wellness

Modern science now recognizes the gut as a central hub influencing:

• Digestion
• Metabolism
• Immune function
• Energy levels
• Mood and brain health

Many common daily discomforts are linked to digestive imbalance, including:

• Bloating
• Indigestion
• Acid reflux
• Fatigue after meals
• Metabolic slowdown

For centuries, Shan Tuyết Mountain Vine Tea (Ampelopsis cantoniensis) has been consumed as a gentle herbal tea to support digestion and metabolic balance.

Modern research on dihydromyricetin (DHM) is beginning to explain why.

Understanding the Gut–Metabolism Connection

Your digestive system is closely connected to metabolism through the gut–liver axis.

A healthy gut helps:

✔ Break down nutrients
✔ Support liver detox
✔ Regulate inflammation
✔ Maintain metabolic balance

Research shows vine tea flavonoids influence many of these systems.

1. Supports Gut Microbiome Balance

Your gut contains trillions of bacteria that influence digestion and metabolism.

Research suggests DHM may help:

• Improve gut microbiota balance
• Reduce harmful bacteria growth
• Promote beneficial microbes

Healthy gut bacteria help reduce bloating and digestive discomfort.

2. Helps Reduce Bloating & Digestive Discomfort

Bloating is often linked to:

• Slow digestion
• Gas production
• Gut inflammation
• Microbial imbalance

Traditional herbal medicine has long used vine tea to:

✔ Support digestion after meals
✔ Reduce stomach discomfort
✔ Improve digestive comfort

Modern studies show DHM has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which help explain these traditional uses.

3. Supports Healthy Stomach Lining & Acid Balance

Acid reflux and stomach discomfort often involve irritation of the stomach lining.

Research shows DHM demonstrates gastroprotective effects in experimental studies.

These effects may help:

• Reduce oxidative stress in stomach tissue
• Support healthy stomach lining
• Promote digestive comfort

4. Supports Metabolic Health Through the Gut–Liver Axis

The gut and liver work together to regulate metabolism.

Studies suggest DHM may:

• Improve fatty liver markers
• Support lipid metabolism
• Reduce metabolic inflammation

Supporting the gut–liver axis helps maintain long-term metabolic wellness.

5. Anti-Inflammatory Effects for Digestive Balance

Digestive discomfort is often linked to low-grade inflammation.

Research shows DHM demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity that may support:

• Digestive comfort
• Gut lining health
• Reduced oxidative stress

6. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar & Weight Balance

Metabolism and digestion are deeply connected.

Studies show DHM may help:

✔ Improve insulin sensitivity
✔ Support lipid metabolism
✔ Reduce metabolic stress

Balanced metabolism supports long-term digestive health.

Why Drink Vine Tea for Gut & Metabolic Support?

Regular consumption may help:

🌿 Reduce bloating
🌿 Support digestion
🌿 Promote gut balance
🌿 Support metabolic wellness
🌿 Encourage daily hydration rituals

Gentle daily habits create lasting digestive comfort.

Suggested Digestive Tea Ritual
