Regardless of your familiarity with herbs, pretty much everyone out there has heard of ginseng, which has been in the public eye for many years.  A slow-growing perennial, commonly grown in the Far East, ginseng has many varieties including American ginseng, which is grown in North America and it certainly does boast some amazing and powerful effects.  You’ve probably seen ginseng used in energy drinks and teas or if you visited the Far East, maybe even in soup or as a root to chew on.  Ginseng has been shown to elevate mood, increase energy, and give a positive sense of well being to those who supplement their diets with it.  Its also been used as a tonic, stimulant, and regenerator for years. The herb is also said to lower blood sugar and control blood pressure, increase libido and strengthening the immune system, and gym buffs have long known of its great powers in gaining energy and stamina in your workouts.  It has the ability to increase endurance and help recovery rates—which can be key for burning up that extra fat you’ve been dying to lose.

More specifically, Ginseng contains vitamins A, B-6 and zinc.  The primary active ingredients of ginseng are the 25-plus saponin triterpenoid glycosides called “ginsenosides” which provide the properties that allow ginseng to counter the effects of stress.  It elevates mood, increases energy, and gives a sense of well being without caffeine, which helps with fat loss and muscle building.  Studies have shown that ginseng increases immune function and helps the body adapt to higher levels of stress and it has the ability to increase endurance and help recovery rates and is a remedy for fatigue and nerves.  Ginseng is 100% natural and a good source of vitamins and minerals.  Of course, it does have some rare side effects, including sleep issues, nausea, diarrhea, euphoria, headaches, and others and it may lose its effectiveness when combined with other ingredients in diet pills.
