During prolonged exercise, panax ginseng promotes endurance and stamina by sparing carbohydrates and allowing skeletal muscle to oxidize free fatty acids for energy production. Panax ginseng also encourages adrenal gland health in times of stress by maintaining healthy levels of certain adrenal hormones, most notably, corticosterone. This versatile herb supports male reproductive health by supporting testosterone and spermatozoa levels. In addition, panax ginseng promotes memory and learning, and nutritionally supports immune function and cardiovascular health.
Panax ginseng is sourced from the root of the Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer plant. It is standardized to contain 15% ginsenosides.
Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women. Panax ginseng has been associated with insomnia. Heart palpitations, tachycardia, breast pain, vaginal bleeding, blood pressure changes, edema, rash, headache and vertigo have also rarely been reported. Panax ginseng is contraindicated for individuals with high blood pressure. Panax ginseng may be contra-indicated with blood thinning and immunosuppressant medications. There is evidence that panax ginseng could affect the way that the liver breaks down medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, altering the effects of these medications and possibly the dose needed for treatment.
