Medicinal properties of Ginseng

The main active ingredients of American Ginseng are ginsenosides. These steroid-like compounds have adaptogenic properties, which give ginseng property to counter the effects of stress. The glycosides act on the adrenal glands, helping to prevent adrenal hypertrophy and excess corticosteroid production in response to stress. Ginsenosides increase protein synthesis and activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. Ginseng stimulates the formation of blood vessel and improves blood circulation in the brains, thereby improving memory and cognitive abilities. Ginseng is also used for diabetes, migraine, infections, radiation and chemotherapy protection, to aid in sleep, and to stimulate the appetite.

Ginseng Extracts contains steroids such as panaxtriol. The steroids are remarkably similar in structure to anabolic steroids found naturally in our body. This makes American Ginseng ideal for athletes and working professionals looking for a natural alternative to anabolic steroid. American ginseng is also used by women for treatment of post menopausal symptoms but with the proper observations.
