Shan Tuyết Mountain Vine Tea for Anti-Inflammation & Immune Support
The Immune System Needs Daily Support
Your immune system works constantly to protect you from:
• Viruses and bacteria
• Environmental toxins
• Chronic inflammation
• Oxidative stress
Modern lifestyles place heavy stress on immune defenses through poor sleep, stress, pollution, and processed foods.
For centuries, mountain communities drank Shan Tuyết Mountain Vine Tea (Ampelopsis cantoniensis) daily to maintain strength and vitality.
Modern science now shows that the tea’s key compound — Dihydromyricetin (DHM) — supports immune health through multiple pathways.
Understanding the Inflammation–Immunity Connection
A strong immune system depends on balanced inflammation.
Too little inflammation → weak defense
Too much inflammation → chronic disease
Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to:
• Frequent illness
• Fatigue
• Skin issues
• Metabolic disorders
• Cardiovascular disease
Research shows DHM helps regulate inflammatory pathways while supporting immune balance.
1. Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Activity
DHM is widely studied for its ability to regulate inflammatory signaling.
Research demonstrates DHM can:
✔ Reduce inflammatory cytokines
✔ Inhibit oxidative stress pathways
✔ Support healthy immune responses
A review in International Journal of Molecular Sciences describes DHM as having significant anti-inflammatory activity in experimental models.
Balancing inflammation helps the immune system function more efficiently.
2. Antioxidants Protect Immune Cells
Immune cells are highly sensitive to oxidative stress.
Free radicals can damage immune cells and reduce their effectiveness.
DHM and vine tea flavonoids help:
• Neutralize free radicals
• Protect immune cell membranes
• Improve antioxidant enzyme activity
Daily antioxidant intake supports long-term immune resilience.
3. Supports the Gut–Immune Axis
About 70% of the immune system resides in the gut.
Healthy gut bacteria help train immune cells and regulate immune responses.
Research suggests DHM may help:
• Improve gut microbiota balance
• Reduce metabolic inflammation
• Support digestive wellness
A healthy gut creates a stronger immune foundation.
4. Supports Recovery After Illness or Stress
Traditional herbal medicine often used vine tea during recovery periods.
Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties support:
• Cellular repair
• Reduced oxidative stress
• Improved resilience
Daily tea rituals help maintain long-term wellness.
5. Helps Regulate Immune Signaling
Immune health requires precise communication between immune cells.
Research shows flavonoids in vine tea influence pathways involved in immune signaling and oxidative stress regulation.
Balanced immune signaling helps the body respond efficiently to everyday challenges.
6. Supports Whole-Body Resilience
Inflammation, metabolism, gut health, and immune function are interconnected.
DHM has been studied for its effects on:
✔ Metabolic balance
✔ Liver detox pathways
✔ Cardiovascular health
✔ Nervous system regulation
Supporting the whole system strengthens long-term immune resilience.
Why Drink Vine Tea for Immune Support?
