The Miracle Adaptogen: Korean Red Ginseng

Adaptogens are herbs which have a modulating effect on the human body. The one I'll be reviewing today is a root called Korean Red Ginseng. It's an Adaptogen, but even among adaptogens, it stands out as one of the more multi-purpose and versatile ones. Able to stimulate our natural vital energy, it's actually a popular additive in energy drink preparations you're able to purchase at convenience stores. The mainline version of the Monster Energy drink contains it, for example. These are obviously bad delivery mechanisms for this herb though, considering the damaging effects of the high sugar content in energy drinks.

So how exactly does this Korean Red Ginseng Root stimulate the human body? First, the plant stimulates blood flow because it contains a vasodilator called Saponin  which reduces platelet aggregation. This helps blood flow more freely through the tiny capillaries and deeper into tissues, delivering life-giving Oxygen and nutrients to the cells so you feel ready to conquer the world.

Next, the herb increases the production of the hormone, Testosterone. This boosts a man's sense of confidence and activates more of his full potential as a human being. Higher Testosterone is associated with numerous benefits such as higher muscle mass, higher production of red blood cells by the bone marrow, and a healthy libido.

Ginseng increases Adrenaline and Nueroadrenaline which can effect reaction-time, alertness, and physical stamina. It stimulates the Endocrine glands, especially the adrenals. Other benefits include reducing LDL cholesterol, normalizing  blood pressure, and even potentially lengthening lifespan. The mechanisms for this increase in lifespan may be due to the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-diabetic pathways that the herb activates.

The cognition benefits of Ginseng include:

• Abstract Thought
• Detail-Oriented Thought Completion
• Mental Arithmetic
• Attention
• Memory
• Concentration
• Ability to Cope with Stress
• Ability to Adapt to New Situations

Because of the wide-ranging effects this amazing multi-purpose herb has on the mind, it may actually be of promise for those who have Attention Deficit Disorder.

If what I already mentioned hasn't already put this herb in a class all of its own, it also stimulates immunity, combats adrenal insufficiency, and can even reverse brain cell damage!

Ginseng is truly a wonderful herb to consider as a way to supercharge your supplement stack to give yourself an extra edge - on the field, at work, or as a general anti-aging strategy.

It's been highly regarded for its numerous benefits for thousands of years. If you've used it or have a comment, I'd love to hear from you! Cheers to Optimization! Support the Blog and DONATE $10
