While Korean ginseng is classified as a dietary supplement, not a drug (and has no doping effects), it is no wonder that Korean ginseng has consistently held the #1 spot for most recommended traditional herbal medicine in the herbalist communities. The 10th International Symposium on Ginseng was held in 2010 and attended by approximately 1,500 scholars and researchers from 15 countries such as the United States, Europe and Asia. More than 300 papers were submitted with their findings supporting ginseng's efficacy.

The Seven Major Benefits of Ginseng

1) Boosting Stamina
Ginseng relieves stress by boosting, both, mental vitality and physical energy, while allowing for bodily calm. It improves body constitutions, when individuals are tired or lack energy, fighting fatigue.

2) Supporting Metabolism and the Cardiovascular System
Ginseng is said to help to improve specific metabolic functions and bodily growth and normal repair by supporting blood formation, oxygenation, and helping to regulate blood circulation. Good blood flow was said to support an integrated system of key organs, resulting in internal synergy and well-being.

3) Calming the Nerves
Unlike plants which contain caffeine, ginseng is caffeine-free, and does not contribute to stress. It is said to support the adrenal system and was noted to strengthen mental vitality while simultaneously calming the body, bringing it more into balance. By helping to reduce stress and anxiety, physical well-being and mental health are improved.


4) Supporting Healthy Lung Functions
Ginseng was said to help loosen coughing by supporting healthy respiratory functions, and is said to be good for the lungs, helping to keep them strong, as they interface with healthy blood circulation, resulting in good oxygenation for the body and easier breathing.

5) Supporting the Spleen and Stomach
Ginseng may improve one's appetite and help with intestinal regularity by supporting healthy stomach and digestive tract functions. Ginseng has been historically said to be beneficial for some diabetics (under supervision of one's physician, if prescribed drugs for this condition) and even to help quench thirst.

6) Detoxification
Ginseng has been said to help the body naturally process and remove toxins, by boosting the immune system. It is said to aid in cleansing the bowels, and support intestinal immune system functions.

7) Healthy Aging
Korean ginseng helps to promotes healthy skin, support healthy blood flow within skin, and support healthy-aging functions and is therefore used in a variety of beauty products, and is the hidden beauty secret of several well-known supermodels in, both, South Korea and the West.

In fact, Korean Red Ginseng is the most famous medicinal herb in the Eastern tradition and has been used safely throughout Asia and world for centuries. Western explorers in Asia brought the plant back to Europe and remarked how it "extended life and vitality."

Ginseng came to be used as clean, plant-based nutrition providing healthy-energy to hard workers, atheletes, and those wishing to support a healthy lifestyle with nature's original super food. Containing more than 30 varieties of healthy ginseng saponins and ginsenosides, Korean Red Ginseng ginseng is widely considered to be the world's most powerful form of ginseng, yet is incredibly difficult to grow, which is why it sells at a higher price.

THE RIGHT DOSAGE FOR YOU

When beginning a ginseng regime, you may wish to begin with a half serving and build-up to full servings as your body builds tolerance. Ginseng is an "adaptogenic herb," which means it supports the adrenals and helps the body to achieve homeostasis by supporting the body's efficiency at fighting cellular stress. Everybody is different and has different needs. Listen to your body. Although side-effects are rare and uncommon, reduce dosage or stop usage if you are unsure.
