Recognized Uses:
Ginseng has been applauded down through the centuries as the magic elixir of life for stamina, well being and longevity. From the earliest time, it has been claimed that Ginseng exerts a strengthening effect while also raising physical and mental capacity for work. Animal studies have shown that Ginseng extracts can prolong swimming time, prevent stress-induced ulcers, stimulate the proliferation of hepatic ribosome and increase natural killer cell activity.1 Through the ages the root has been used in the treatment of asthenia, arteriosclerosis, blood and bleeding disorders, colitis and to relieve the symptoms of aging, cancer and senility. 2 Today, its popularity is due to the "adaptogenic effect" (stress-protective) of the saponin content.2 There are several species of Ginseng on the market and most common are: Siberian, American and Korean. Ginseng is commonly called Panax which is derived from the Greek word "all healing".

None.
