Chinese ginseng helps to maintain normal cognitive function, vitality, alertness, immune function, and helps reduce feeling of tiredness and fatigue.
The roots, stems and leaves of Panax ginseng have been traditionally used in China for more than 2000 years. Ginseng is rich in biologically active compounds: triterpene saponins, polysaccharides, peptidoglycans, fatty acids, carbohydrates, phenolic compounds and sesquiterpenes. The most important of these compounds in ginseng are considered to be the triterpene glycosides (saponins) ginsenosides, as well as the non-saponin gintonin.
Clinical studies have shown that ginseng extracts, alone or in combination with extracts of ginkgo leaf, had a beneficial effect on cognitive function, increasing the accuracy and speed of correct answers in tests of concentration and memory. Clinical studies have also shown that extracts of Chinese ginseng can help to improve the ability of post-menopausal women to concentrate and men’s physical strength and vitality.
