Ginseng

• Potent liquid extract of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)
• May reduce stress & increase energy
• Helpful for digestive problems

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is native to the Northern and Central parts of North America and Canada - and like its more familar cousin Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) the root is used as an 'adaptogen' and tonic herb.

American ginseng was used by many Native American tribes for a broad range of purposes including digestive disorders and sexual problems - and like Asian ginseng it also supports the immune system and can increase energy. The Chinese began to use American ginseng after it was imported during the 1700's - and today it is widely cultivated in the United States, China, and France.

Like Panax ginseng, American ginseng contains Dammarane type Ginsenosides, actives that can help the body to fight fatigue and reduce stress by supporting the adrenal glands and improving the transport of oxygen to the muscles during exercise. As a result it may be helpful to athletes.
