KOREAN GINSENG (Panax Quinguefolius L.)

Medical research has recently begun to investigate the benefits that the ginseng herb may offer. While additional clinical study data is still needed, a 2002 study assessed patients who took regular daily doses of ginseng over an 8 week period. After 4 weeks of ginseng therapy, the study found that patient scores improved in social functioning and mental health.

Korean Ginseng may help to improve cognitive function related to mental arithmetic, memory quality, response time, accuracy and general memory improvement. In a study involving children, Ginseng in a combination therapy helped to reduce hyperactive-impulsivity scores in children with ADHD.

Early Western botanists and medical writers noted that the root of Korean Ginseng increased energy and alertness. Traditionally, Korean Ginseng is recognized for its adaptogenic properties. An adaptogen is a physiological agent that naturally increases the body’s resistance to physical and emotional stress.

In clinical study, the active components of Korean Ginseng have been shown to provide positive support for:

1. Focus, concentration, memory, mental sharpness and other healthy cognitive functions
2. Mental and physical fatigue caused by emotional stress
3. Occasional overactive behavior
4. Healthy immune system function

Korean Ginseng is well-tolerated and maintains an excellent safety profile. Research shows that with continued use, Korean Ginseng may help to promote brain health.
