Ginseng Extract

Ginseng is an herb that is rich in antioxidants. Research suggests that it may offer benefits for brain health, immune function, blood sugar control, and more. Ginseng has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. This slow-growing, short plant with fleshy roots can be classified three ways, depending on how long it is grown: fresh, white, or red. Fresh ginseng is harvested before 4 years, while white ginseng is harvested between 4–6 years, and red ginseng is harvested after 6 or more years. American and Asian ginseng vary in their concentration of active compounds and effects on the body. According to some older research, it is believed that American ginseng works as a relaxing agent, whereas the Asian variety has an invigorating effect. Ginseng contains two significant compounds: ginsenosides and gintonin. These compounds complement one another to provide health benefits. Some test-tube studies have shown that ginseng extracts and ginsenoside compounds could inhibit inflammation and reduce oxidative damage to cells, which can contribute to chronic disease. The results are promising in humans, as well. One study found that short-term supplementation with American ginseng extract reduced exercise-induced muscle damage and decreased markers of inflammation compared to a placebo. Researchers concluded that red ginseng may help reduce oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activities. Ginseng could help improve brain functions like memory, behavior, and mood. Some test-tube and animal studies show that components in ginseng, like ginsenosides and compound K, could protect the brain against damage caused by free radicals. According to one review, ginseng could also help ease stress and may offer benefits for depression and anxiety. What’s more, other studies found positive effects on brain function in people with Alzheimer’s disease. 

Ginseng supplements come in tablets, capsules, extracts, or powders. Tablets or capsules typically contain the ground-up root or an extract of one or more types of ginseng root. People are usually advised to take one to two ginseng capsules twice daily with food. The number of capsules may vary depending on the supplement dosage. Ginseng root extract powder can be dissolved in water, juice, or smoothies. Powders are often in higher dosages than tablets or capsules. You may also find smaller amounts of ginseng added to energy drinks and herbal teas. While not as common, you can consume ginseng in its plant form. Peeling and chewing the raw root. Soaking the peeled raw root in wine to create an extract. Boiling the peeled, raw root to make tea. Soaking or boiling dried ginseng root to create an extract. There is no standard ginseng dosage recommendation. The dosage depends on the type of ginseng and the amount of ginsenosides. Research suggests adults may safely take 100-3000 mg of American ginseng. Safe Asian ginseng dosages range from 200 mg to 3 g per day. Ginseng is considered safe for the average healthy adult when used short term, but it is not safe for everyone. American ginseng is likely safe for up to 12 weeks, and Asian ginseng may be safe for up to six months. Ginseng's long-term health effects are unknown, but you may be more susceptible to side effects like headaches. Asian ginseng may also cause sleep issues and act like estrogen hormones if used longer than six months. It is not well-known if ginseng is safe for children, and Asian ginseng has been linked to poisoning in newborns. As a result, you should avoid giving ginseng to children and infants. However, studies have found kids 3-12 could safely take the American ginseng extrac in 4.5-26 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) doses for three days. If you have any of the following conditions, you should also avoid ginseng or talk to your healthcare provider before trying ginseng as a dietary supplement. 

Ginseng extract has been recognized for its potential benefits in skincare due to its unique combination of phytochemicals. Ginsenosides, the active compounds in ginseng, have antioxidant properties that may help protect the skin from free radical damage, which is a key factor in premature aging. Ginseng is believed to promote the production of collagen, a protein crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ginseng extract may contribute to a more even skin tone by inhibiting melanin production, which can help reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots. The anti-inflammatory properties of ginseng may help calm and soothe irritated skin, making it beneficial for those with sensitive or inflammatory skin conditions. Ginseng can assist in maintaining the skin's moisture balance by enhancing the skin barrier function, helping to prevent dryness and promote a healthier complexion. Improved blood circulation can contribute to healthier-looking skin by ensuring that cells receive an adequate supply of nutrients and oxygen. Ginseng is an adaptogen, which means it may help the skin cope with stress and environmental aggressors, potentially reducing the impact of stress on the skin's appearance. For individuals with oily or combination skin, ginseng extract may help regulate sebum production, contributing to a more balanced complexion.
