so I take a few of natural vitamins. my dr was amazed that I even knew about them. many prescriptions have alot of side effects so, my body immune system is very strong & is like a natural antibiotic. Korean panax ginseng is the top ginseng to take. it doesn't just help with health issues it cures them. like diabetes. my step-dad had diabetes for 5 yrs. I told my mom to buy. after a mth he went to his f/u & tested no more diabetes. it also helps you lose weight, good for your overall health and many other things. I also take cinnamon which boost your immune system & prevents you from getting any strong viruses like ecoli & others. thanks be to God, me, hubby or kids haven't had covid since its bn here. cayenne, b complex along with your daily women/men vitamins is all you nd to live a healthy & normal life, but Jesus is the 1st thing! also for pain like neuro pain you should order ginger oil essential & rub on the that area & cbd natural tincture helps too. I hope this helps! God bless!
Not gonna lie. I have been having some "Libido issues" as a healthy 25 year old. Which of course is super embarassing and stressful. I have been taking Red ginseng for a couple of months almost daily and it has improved massively. Maybe it's just placebo, but I don't care haha
I last took ginseng extract about 10 years ago but today whilst out and about noticed a well known health shop that I last purchased it from., so I bought some more. Yup, it works!!
I have been taking a liquid tincture of Korean Ginseng for decades. I used to travel to Korea a couple times a year for Martial Arts training and I found it to be very effective in providing a clear & sharp mind, slight energy boost (particularly if you're already tired), and great for recovery. If you are looking to find a supplement to improve over all health Panax Ginseng is a good choice but I would note that the Koreans only take it a couple of times a month, not everyday. It is supposed to bring "things" back into balance. Also, it is a strong blood thinner, if you are also taking, gingko, garlic or a prescription blood thinner ginseng may be too much.
Dαniel that’s either some stretched bs panax ginseng or it’s just way too high , pure panax ginseng is pretty expensive as the roots of the trees need 7-9 yrs of growing , I take 200 mg every other day and sometimes with kratom that’s a pure limitless stack with no side effects

I suffered from extremely low energy and a couple days of taking this herb daily helped me a lot. : ) Reliefs depression and gave me the energy that's last all day even after work. Takes a bit for it to kick in after dosing. I guess it needs to build up in your system.
Many people have a misunderstanding that herbal medicine can be eaten casually, especially some Chinese. As a native Chinese, I remind you that Chinese medicine or any medicine including herbal medicine should not be eaten or used indiscriminately! ! !Must follow the doctor's advice。 For example, if you are young, obese or have high blood pressure, do not eat ginseng. . .
@@user-fp3pd9jl2x The active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines are the same as other medicines, but the situation of herbal medicines is more complicated, because the composition of an herbal medicine is very complicated. In South China, due to misconceptions, the abuse of Chinese herbal medicine is very common, and its consequences are very serious. The incidence of kidney disease in Guangdong is the highest in China. Ginsenosides accelerate blood circulation and metabolism, while inhibiting platelet production. For hypertensive patients, ginseng will increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels; for young people under 30, these people have strong metabolism and blood circulation, and eating ginseng may cause nosebleeds and traumatic bleeding. Only people who are very weak need to eat ginseng.
So I started taking ginseng to help with cognitive performance and I also started taking Asher Ganda for anxiety and I definitely overdosed on ginseng which caused me to have very bright blood during my menstrual cycle.
@@NutritionLibrary 10:25 on the dosage section , what do you mean by extract ? you mean pure ginsenosides or just dry root power or something else ? // link the one you take ?
It's really expensive buying Korean ginseng extract so I had to buy red Korean ginseng extract to lower the cost but the black Korean extract has more health benefits.
I have reasonably bad general and social anxiety mixed with depression, when you go to the doctor's all they prescribe Is unfortunately antidepressants... My body doesn't like antidepressants and I didn't like being on them at all, even though the doctors say that they are pretty much side effect free now I found after trying 3 different AD all that happend to me was a feeling of numbness, lethargy, loss of libido and occasionally the inability to eat regular meals. After a testesterone result came back all clear I decided to get myself off of the AD's and try and do my own research... Now I'm taking L-caritane and ginseng daily and although it hasn't completely aliveated me of my physical symptoms I do feel much more capable, I've started to feel more alert and awake, it's taken the edge off the anxiety and my libido is more normal ... And apart from the odd day when I feel slightly worse again it's had zero side effects for me. Give it a go.
Hi I am two times heart attack survivor and my doc allowed me to take levitra due to my ED. But when I take the pill I need to skip all medication for that night. Was wondering instead of depending on levitra is it possible to take ginseng tablet as natural supplement? Tq
I appreciate that you use the word “possible” a lot and avoid jumping to conclusions without evidence. It’s refreshing given the amount of unhinged quackery that is permitted to run wild on YT and everywhere in general I suppose. Thank you.
Careful with the dosages.. be wise, research thoroughly. I followed the recommendations of a certain brand (1,000mg x2 of panax extract), heart palpitations would not subside for days, which wasn't pleasant to say the very least.
Going thru this now and i only took 100mg. I took it once a day for three days and every other day. I have heart palpitations, insomnia and nervousness. Only slept three hours. It went away on its own?
Thanks for sharing this helpful information! Would recommend taking this supplement daily to improve cognition (i.e., memory) and mood? Do you think the benefits outweigh the risks? Additionally, what brand of the red Korean ginseng supplement do you recommend?
I was really impressed by the effect on cognition. Learning new songs at +50 years old was starting to get really difficult (the lyrics, etc ...). Having read about Ginseng I started taking it as recommended on the bottle of American Ginseng I found (a good brand). I did not expect to get results before 2 or 3 months but after 3 weeks taking it my concentration and memory was really better. Actually the guys in the band were really surprised. This is anecdotal of course but it made a big impression on me. I would like to take ginseng more regularly but unfortunately after 3 or 4 week it also tends to raise my blood pressure. It would be interesting if company would isolate the different components of ginseng and make a preparation that has the effect on cognition without the side effect on blood pressure. Maybe it would turn out to be the same components but possibly not. It would be interesting to try.

We need a good medical doctor to answer that question. Is not this case.
Have there been many scientific studies on the benefits of Ginseng? What is the most well-studied benefit of Ginseng? Also, should you cycle Ginseng? And how long does it take to see an effect? Thanks!
I take 2000mg Ashwagandha split into 3 doses daily and was wondering if I cycle 4days on and 3 off , is it best to take 200mg of Ginseng extract on those 3 off days or can I take Ginseng everyday without cycling off? thanks
Yeah I would take Ginseng on the days you don’t take Ash. Maximize the benefits of both. Ginseng builds tolerance really fast. Ashwagandha not so much, but will eventually.
I just started taking Ashwaganda. Was planning on cycling it with l-theanine. 5 days on ash 3 days on L- theanine. Would like to maybe add ginseng into the mix. How would you suggest I take it and at what dose?
Subbed second video I watched from you other one was about Ginko and I think you mentioned this was a good combo. I love you you take the time to describe, and explain the benefits which helps me know whether or not I may need it. But I know a ton of stores carry the Korean Panex Ginsing. I believe it's at 100 mg per cap which which is ideal. Thanks for the informative video. Subbed
For the second time I decided to try it, the tincture, and after a few days of a pretty low dose, I'm extreeeemely tired! Don't get it! Too calming for my system? Sleep is lighter too.
i love yer vids i'm 54 and i've learned tons of new things from yer channel. thing is i really don't like meat anymore and i prefer a lacto vegetarian diet yet i'd like to get on board with alot of what yer teaching. i definitely intend to try a few of these supplemants as i'm kinda obsessed with increasing testosterone and cleanisng myself of all the estrogen in our enivironment (i'm a city slicker and estrogen inducing stuff is everywhere) but do you think it's doable when not on keto? thanx.

Other ingreediens: modified vegetable cellulose, organic brown rice flour, silucon dioxide. Please tell me what you think, I am thinking of switching to Korean ginseng.
Panax ginseng, after taking it my third time, every other day, of 100mg gave me heart palpitations, nervousness and insomnia on my third day which is today. Waiting to see how long these side effects last
@@NutritionLibrary Its wierd, because my back pain is horrible, especially the last couple weeks after carrying something. I take a couple panax ginseng caps and it dulls it for a moment.
I don't drink any caffein or stimulants, but I do want more clarity and sustained mental abilities. Would this help? Also, if I take ashwaganda as well is that overdoing it are they similar? would you recommend one or the other or just preference?
How long it has to be used and after using it, is there threat to get accustomed toward it or will our testosterone go low compare to previously what we had if we stop using it.
@@NutritionLibrary I’m currently using this and I would not recommend it at all. Only start noticing subtle effects at around 1000mg which is over three times the stated dose.
Was wondering does Consuming dairy products prior to using panex ginseng negate the effects? Since most dairy products are anabolic & effect your prostate
Probably not. Dairy is anabolic, but not through the androgen pathway necessarily. It is anabolic through mTOR pathways. I wouldn’t worry about dairy too much when it comes to prostate health, but I’m not an expert in that area by any means.
@@NutritionLibrary ahh that could be true, & yeah it depends on alot of factors.. i just recently heard about dairy being anabolic & that it can enlarge the prostate which makes sense since your growing
If i take panax Ginseng first time , do you reccomend to cycle it?3 days on 1 day off for example,or take it every day for one month and cycle it after?An its better to take all the dosage in once every day , or twice?Thank you
I take it twice on days I take it. And it probably best to take breaks and cycle. Ginseng is one of few supplements that research demonstrates that tolerance develops after a week of continuous use
Hey Zach, I've been taking Korean Red ginseng as a nootropic, and love it! Its my favorite adaptogen, and I've tried them all. I take a 2g fermented extract (Bon ginseng), so it's probably really strong. The dry herb I noticed no difference. I have ADD and it really works for focus, energy, motivation. But after watching your video, learning about DHT/5 alpha-reductase has me REALLY concerned and paranoid. My total testosterone is 420, free is 81. BMI 25.5 (little fat-trying to loose 20 pounds) Should I maybe stop taking?
So you're saying the dried ginsing doesn't do anything for you? Or you notice no difference in quality between the two? How old are you, and is that hormone profile from while taking ginsing or not?
@@beeman7711 so I lost 40 pounds since I posted this and my last total testosterone test was 580. I stopped taking ginseng completely after this video was posted being concerned about DHT/5-AR enzyme. However the red fermented ginseng was definitely the most potent and I tried a whole host of ginsengs back then.
I like panax gingseng I found one low cost in my country do you think that the laboratory that manufactures them has to do with their quality or it is only the lower effect in some than in others because in GNC its price is highly exaggerated, around $ 25 at $ 30 usd capsules of 500 mg well i got one more cuestion can you please make a video about mucuna pruriens?

Should you cycle this like ashwagandha if you're drinking it as a tea?
Hi! Great content 👌What is more effective powder or liquid?
Hey Zach, thanks for all you info, it is really appreciated! I have a big question tho: What happens, when you COMBINE supplements? For example: Tongkat Ali, Ashwangandha and Panax Gingseng? Is it too much?
Thank you, I hope you notice my question... Me personally, I don't want to "waste" my supplements, if it's nonsense to combine it.
Have a nice one!

Same question here.
I was thinking the same thing since I have all 3. I guess if you're not flipping cars over and punching holes in the wall it's not a bad idea to experiment with.
We need a good medical doctor to answer that question. Is not this case.
Have there been many scientific studies on the benefits of Ginseng? What is the most well-studied benefit of Ginseng? Also, should you cycle Ginseng? And how long does it take to see an effect? Thanks!
Improvements in energy, and mood are most studied benefits. And yes you should cycle it
How do you recoment cycling it?@@NutritionLibrary
I'm a beginner I'm drinking triple ginseng dr stuart's tea. As caffeine was making me too jittery which caused anxiety and labio issues.
I take 2000mg Ashwagandha split into 3 doses daily and was wondering if I cycle 4days on and 3 off , is it best to take 200mg of Ginseng extract on those 3 off days or can I take Ginseng everyday without cycling off? thanks
Yeah I would take Ginseng on the days you don’t take Ash. Maximize the benefits of both. Ginseng builds tolerance really fast. Ashwagandha not so much, but will eventually.
I just started taking Ashwaganda. Was planning on cycling it with l-theanine. 5 days on ash 3 days on L- theanine. Would like to maybe add ginseng into the mix. How would you suggest I take it and at what dose?
Subbed second video I watched from you other one was about Ginko and I think you mentioned this was a good combo. I love you you take the time to describe, and explain the benefits which helps me know whether or not I may need it. But I know a ton of stores carry the Korean Panex Ginsing. I believe it's at 100 mg per cap which which is ideal. Thanks for the informative video. Subbed
Panex ginseng with ginko is better or bacopa monira for student
For the second time I decided to try it, the tincture, and after a few days of a pretty low dose, I'm extreeeemely tired! Don't get it! Too calming for my system? Sleep is lighter too.
I've been taken 650 mg a day for a month now and can't tell a single difference
It could be because it is not extracted, or is poor quality.
Where'd you buy it from?
Which supplement increases libido without incrising estrogen and without having side effects , that can be taken long term daily ?
Tongkat ali
And dim
*Would love for you to do a video on gynostemma pentaphyllum aka Jiaogulan.*
Have you a take on taking Ginseng, rhodiola and ashwagandha on the same time?
How regularly would you recommend taking it? Would you cycle or just have breaks? One day on one off? Cheers 😎
I dont need testosterone, but I have cortisol issues, can I take it
i love yer vids i'm 54 and i've learned tons of new things from yer channel. thing is i really don't like meat anymore and i prefer a lacto vegetarian diet yet i'd like to get on board with alot of what yer teaching. i definitely intend to try a few of these supplemants as i'm kinda obsessed with increasing testosterone and cleanisng myself of all the estrogen in our enivironment (i'm a city slicker and estrogen inducing stuff is everywhere) but do you think it's doable when not on keto? thanx.
Great video and informative 👍
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Can we get primary sources in the video description and annotations
Agreed !
Is it safe to take if you have HSV 1? Will it increase nitric oxide and feed the virus? Looking for a Beet Root alternative.
How can it improve libido if it inhibits DHT conversion? DHT is the most important hormone for sex.
DHT is not the same as Testosterone
Thanks !!! Good points made !!! 🙏💯
Good video...but is it safe to take daily for long periods?
So is Panax red ginseng safe to use on a regular basis? Or because of the possibility of an elevation in estrogen it should cycled? For men.
I would consider it an occasional supplement. Or you can stack with Tongkat Ali which blocks the estrogen receptor
Would DIM ( diindolymethane) work just as good as an anti estrogen?
I have been taking triple ginseng made by whole foods it has eleuthero root extract,Chinese ginseng whole plant extract, American ginseng whole plant extract, gotu koala herb extract and schisandra berry extract. Other ingreediens: modified vegetable cellulose, organic brown rice flour, silucon dioxide. Please tell me what you think, I am thinking of switching to Korean ginseng.
Those are all fairly potent herbs in there own regard. I can’t comment to how they would specifically act together though.
could you make a video on lifestyle and supplemental strategies to lower prolactin levels?
Great idea! I have thought about, I just wasn’t sure anyone would be interested
@@NutritionLibrary thank you, i'm struggling with it and i think it is causing me hair thinning and a loss of sex drive
I would occasionally use Ginseng in my 20's, but now find that it gives me heart "flutters" at 50.
Looks like this guy took heavy dose of Panax Ginseng before making this video. He is toooooo calm!
What forms should we use, tea, Capsules..etc
good info! thanks doc
Panax ginseng, after taking it my third time, every other day, of 100mg gave me heart palpitations, nervousness and insomnia on my third day which is today. Waiting to see how long these side effects last
Ahhh okay so I feel the same the second day I took it my heartbeat is very fast I feel quite nervous and scattered and feel like I can’t relax
@@iamthefiremanjj it went away after one day. ginseng is like steroids. i recommend u stay away
Is this the same as Korean red ginseng?
Yes Red Korean Panax Ginseng is correct, possibly the most effective Ginseng.
I swear it, it makes my back stop hurting!! Its insane!!
It does have some slight pain relieving properties but I have never heard of anyone experiencing them! Thanks for saying something!
@@NutritionLibrary Its wierd, because my back pain is horrible, especially the last couple weeks after carrying something. I take a couple panax ginseng caps and it dulls it for a moment.
I don't drink any caffein or stimulants, but I do want more clarity and sustained mental abilities. Would this help? Also, if I take ashwaganda as well is that overdoing it are they similar? would you recommend one or the other or just preference?
You can take them together. Maybe panax in the morning and ash in the late afternoon
what's a good brand for panax ginseng?
More supplements that would be interesting to take a look into are Astaxanthin, then Lutein and Zeaxanthin, the last two often taken together.
Yeah they are interesting! I’ll do one on astaxanthin here soon!
You look really healthy!
Thank you! I hope so
Can women take panax ginseng too to balance hormones?
Hello my friend thank you for sharing.
No problem! Thanks for watching
What time of day should you take it?
Because it is stimulating, just avoid taking it in the evening
How long it has to be used and after using it, is there threat to get accustomed toward it or will our testosterone go low compare to previously what we had if we stop using it.
Asking the real questions and nobody answers smh
On monster it says " Panax ginseng " so I watched this😁
Any specific brands that you recommend for Panax Ginseng?
Nootropics depot gs 15-4
@@NutritionLibrary I’m currently using this and I would not recommend it at all. Only start noticing subtle effects at around 1000mg which is over three times the stated dose.
Ginsana G115
Nutrition library after two years do you still agree with your statements on this video? Just curious.
What are side effects? You put in video title, but I missed the mention of any side effects. Thanks!
Works for me.
Is red ginseng any better then l citruline?
should it be taken with food?
Panax ginseng and moringa powder together..? Thoughts?
Was wondering does Consuming dairy products prior to using panex ginseng negate the effects? Since most dairy products are anabolic & effect your prostate
Probably not. Dairy is anabolic, but not through the androgen pathway necessarily. It is anabolic through mTOR pathways. I wouldn’t worry about dairy too much when it comes to prostate health, but I’m not an expert in that area by any means.
@@NutritionLibrary ahh that could be true, & yeah it depends on alot of factors.. i just recently heard about dairy being anabolic & that it can enlarge the prostate which makes sense since your growing
If i take panax Ginseng first time , do you reccomend to cycle it?3 days on 1 day off for example,or take it every day for one month and cycle it after?An its better to take all the dosage in once every day , or twice?Thank you
I take it twice on days I take it. And it probably best to take breaks and cycle. Ginseng is one of few supplements that research demonstrates that tolerance develops after a week of continuous use
@@NutritionLibrary Thank you! So it good idea to take it 3 days on 2 days off for example?
Do you have the links for the research behind these claims?
Buried in my notes. They are all publicly available
Thanks for the info
Well done Dr
Hey Zach, I've been taking Korean Red ginseng as a nootropic, and love it! Its my favorite adaptogen, and I've tried them all. I take a 2g fermented extract (Bon ginseng), so it's probably really strong. The dry herb I noticed no difference. I have ADD and it really works for focus, energy, motivation.
But after watching your video, learning about DHT/5 alpha-reductase has me REALLY concerned and paranoid. My total testosterone is 420, free is 81. BMI 25.5 (little fat-trying to loose 20 pounds)
Should I maybe stop taking?
For guys, ginseng is probably best taken on occasion when needed.
how long to you take it ?
So you're saying the dried ginsing doesn't do anything for you? Or you notice no difference in quality between the two?
How old are you, and is that hormone profile from while taking ginsing or not?
@@beeman7711 so I lost 40 pounds since I posted this and my last total testosterone test was 580. I stopped taking ginseng completely after this video was posted being concerned about DHT/5-AR enzyme. However the red fermented ginseng was definitely the most potent and I tried a whole host of ginsengs back then.
@@WalterRitcheylet me know if you find any natural supplements that raise testosterone 👍
So if you already take Ashwagandha Panax Ginseng is needless to take?
Panax is good to take on days you don’t take Ashwagandha. This is my personal approach
Will it affect the effects of ashwagandha if taken together ? Or even boost the effects ?
I like panax gingseng I found one low cost in my country do you think that the laboratory that manufactures them has to do with their quality or it is only the lower effect in some than in others because in GNC its price is highly exaggerated, around $ 25 at $ 30 usd capsules of 500 mg well i got one more cuestion can you please make a video about mucuna pruriens?
It is hard to say unless I know the exact brand
@@NutritionLibrary rexall?
interesting... I wonder if being a user of nicotine(Zyns) helps offset the anti DHT properties of Ginseng
wich ginseng is best for swimmers? already bought ,, red panax ginseng 25mg acitve ginsenosides from 6000mg
I can try this product.
Does it work effectively within the first hour like most meds besides ssri’s that take time to build up? Let me know, Honestly
Hey buddy .. I am a power lifter in my country ..so can you please suggest me something which increase my strength extremely to the another level..
Creatine... As far as herbs go, Ashwagandha and Tongkat Ali. Alpha gpc MAY also provide some benefit
@@NutritionLibrary Yeszirrrrr,. Thanks a lot.. right now m taking mixer of ashwagandha and panax ginseng.. I hope it works better for me.
