What Panax ginseng is
Panax ginseng has been used in Korea and China for thousands of years as a tonic for energy and vitality. NCCIH summarizes the research on Asian ginseng.
The research
In a 2005 study in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, single doses of Panax ginseng extract reduced blood glucose levels and improved cognitive performance during sustained mental activity. The official site also cites a study of ginseng in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
