Healthy Aging & Ginseng

Active compounds in ginseng are being described by research scientists as having great value in supporting health as the risk of age-related problems increases.

Articles published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2006 and 2007 by researchers at medical colleges in China concluded that ginsenosides help regulate brain aging and have a neuro supportive (nerve-supporting) effect on the brain. 

Austrian and Spanish researchers also found Panax ginseng’s ginsenosides to exert neuro supportive actions, suggesting they are a “valuable option” to promote neurological health.

A review of ginseng studies by doctors in Egypt was published in the Journal of Pharmacological Sciences. The reviewers confirmed that recent research shows ginseng exerts beneficial effects on aging and nerve-related problems.

Blood Sugar & Panax Ginseng

Medical researchers say we have more control over our blood sugar levels than we may realize. Several published human studies support the use of ginseng to stabilize blood sugar levels already within the normal range.

Note: anyone taking prescribed medications for a blood sugar-related condition needs to inform their physician when taking dietary supplements, in case their medications need adjustment.

Sweet Stopper

Researchers from universities in Korea, the USA, Great Britain, China, Hong Kong
and Taiwan are just a few of the many scientists who have published their ginseng study results in international journals. Their conclusions about the effects of Panax ginseng on blood sugar levels are consistently similar.  They report that Panax ginseng regulates insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance; may be used as an adjuvant for management of insulin resistance; helps regulate fasting blood glucose levels and exhibits glucose-modulating effects.

Immune Health & Panax Ginseng

Researchers conducting ginseng studies at two different Chinese Universities came to similar conclusions regarding the beneficial effects of ginseng on healthy immunity. They found that saponins from ginseng help boost the cell mediated immune system as well as promoting antibody production.

At Emory University School of Medicine in the US, researchers in the Department of Microbiology found that ginseng also played a positive role during cold and flu season.

Be Related & Calm with Panax Ginseng

The effects of occasional on overall health have only recently come to light. Mental health is not the only aspect of our health affected by stress. Scientists now tell us that stress can lead to many health problems if we do not find ways to reduce its effects in our lives. Numerous studies show the effectiveness of Panax ginseng as a stress regulator.

Indian researchers concluded that Panax ginseng contains potent anti-stress compounds and can be used to remedy stress-induced problems.

The anti-stress properties of ginseng’s saponins and ginsenosides were evaluated by researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology. They concluded that these unique compounds played a protective role against the effects of stress on the brain.

Sexual Health

Sparking Desire

Panax ginseng is especially prized throughout the worl energy, virility and mental clarity. Dr. Andrew Weil, a world famous medical doctor who advocates the use of integrative approaches to healthyd for its role in promoting healthy aging, sexual aging, also includes Panax ginseng in his recommendations for sexual potency. He describes Panax ginseng as “a good stimulant and sexual energizer” that boosts energy overall and helps dispel occasional fatigue.
