Ginseng can be used to improve overall health. It increases a sense of wellbeing and stamina, and improves both mental and physical performances. Ginseng can be used to help with erectile dysfunction, hepatitis C, and symptoms relating to menopause, and can also be used for lowering blood glucose levels and controlling blood pressure.

Ginseng has been shown to reduce the levels of stress in both men and women. Those that take ginseng regularly are able to withstand higher amounts of physical and emotional stress.

The root of panax ginseng contains several active substances called ginsenosides or panaxosides that are thought to be responsible for the medicinal effects of the herb.

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Because of its adaptogenic effects, it is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatigue and the effects of stress, and prevent infections. Ginseng is one of the most effective anti-aging supplements.  It has the capability of alleviating signs of aging such as degeneration of the blood system. It assists in increasing mental and physical capacity. Ginseng is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Recent studies have shown that ginseng enhances libido and copulatory performance. These effects of ginseng may not be due to changes in hormone secretion, but to the direct effects of ginseng, or its ginsenoside components on the central nervous system and gonadal tissues. There is good evidence that ginsenosides can facilitate penile erection by directly inducing the vasodilatation and relaxation of penile corpus cavernosa. Moreover, the effects of ginseng on the corpus cavernosa appear to be mediated by the release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells and from nerves that surround the vessels. According to recent findings ginseng treatment decreases prolactin secretion, which also suggests a direct effect of ginseng at the level of the pituitary gland. High levels of prolactin inhibit libido.

Ginseng appears to help people with diabetes. A limited study performed in March 2000 at the University of Toronto showed that ginseng could lower blood sugar 20% more than placebo.

Ginseng is one of the most effective anti-aging supplements.

Another important benefit of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment.

Long term use of ginseng

We prefer ginseng not be taken daily for prolonged periods. As a general rule, you may consider taking 100mg of panax ginseng extract 1-3 times in a week (a week off each month). This is a guideline that you can adapt to your own unique needs.


Ginseng side effects

Insomnia is a common side effect from ginseng overuse when it’s combined in high doses with other herbs or nutrients that cause alertness.

High dosages of ginseng can cause overstimulation, restlessness, rapid heart beat, anxiety, headache, and insomnia. Just with any medication or supplement, the right dosage can be quite helpful while an excessive amount can lead to unpleasant adverse effects. Discuss with your doctor before using a ginseng product if you have a heart condition, are taking blood pressure pills, hormone medications, anti-depressants, or have a serious health condition.

Patients being treated with the blood-thinning drug Coumadin (warfarin) should probably avoid using ginseng, since ginseng seems to reduce the drug's effects. Ginseng use for two weeks was tied to a significant reduction in the INR, meaning that the blood was now less thin and more prone to clotting.

Ginseng should be used cautiously in those with heart disease. Keep the dosage low in order to prevent heart racing or high blood pressure.

Too much ginseng can cause side effects including nervousness and anxiety.
