Ginseng and Epidemology

It’s important for products, especially supplements, to not make claims which are unsubstantiated. The world is complicated enough without adding false statements and miracle claims. People who believe only in taking prescription drugs like to attack herbs as not being tested or approved by medical science.

If that was true then how do you explain studies such as the one published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2006 (ref 163(7):645-653)? The article is named “Association of ginseng use with survival and quality of life among breast cancer patients.”

In the article, a Vanderbilt University research project is described and the results reported. The report says, “Ginseng use after cancer diagnosis, particularly current use, was positively associated with quality of life scores, with the strongest effect in the psychological and social well-being domains. Additionally, quality of life improved as cumulative ginseng use increased.”

It seems that medical science is taking ginseng very seriously. That is why you should use a high quality product like Ginsana Energy.
