Ginseng is an ivy type plant available in three different varieties:
- Chinese/Korean Ginseng
- American Ginseng
- Siberian Ginseng
There have been reported cases of ill side effects in the use of Chinese/Korean Ginseng and American Ginseng so we will be focusing on the benefits of Siberian Ginseng, where there are little or no side effects.
Ginseng, like most herbal supplements, has been known to man for centuries and has quite a colorful past. Some of the folklore (sometimes folklore is true) associated with Ginseng is that it could be used for
strengthening any part of the body. It was thought that it could be used to combat blood disorders, cancer, senility, aging and just about anything else. Stories abound about Ginseng being a sexual stimulant
and aphrodisiac (just folklore ladies).
Folklore aside, Siberian Ginseng has been studied for its effects in combating fatigue and relieving stress. In other studies, Siberian Ginseng has been found to boost the
immune system and help the body regulate blood sugar. Ask any person, who is a regular Siberian Ginseng user if it is working for them and you will find out that it has quite a loyal following.
The suggested
daily amount is not to exceed 2 - 3 grams of Siberian Ginseng. Of course, consult your physician or health care professional before starting to take any herbal supplement and report immediately any ill effects or
if you don't feel well after taking herbal supplements. It is recommended that you purchase your herbal supplements from a reliable and reputable source to ensure that you get quality product.
So if you are
living in the fast lane or just want to boost your energy, do it with Siberian Ginseng
