We introduced our ABCs of proBLENopathy series to help explain the ingredients, hormones, and other substances we refer to in the literature on our website. In this edition of The ABCs of proBLENopathy, we're focusing on the letter G.
G is for Ginseng.
Russian scientists coined the term "adaptogen" to describe a substance or herb that could increase the body's resistance to stress or have an invigorating effect on the consumer. Thus, Korean ginseng is considered, along with American ginseng, an adaptogenic herb.
What Does Ginseng Do?
This herb also lowers blood sugar levels and might be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but only under professional medical supervision. Ginseng has been used to treat male impotence and waning sexual desire, although not all the clinical results have been positive. Ginseng may also have estrogenic effects.
Ginseng in proBLENopathy Boosters:
Ginseng's invigorating qualities are very beneficial to our proBLENopathy Libido (LibidoPRO), Testosterone (TestoPRO), and Estrogen (EstroPRO) boosters. Ginseng has also been shown to treat postmenopausal symptoms. In our Telomere/DNA, its benefits include controlling blood sugar and boosting the immune system, among other things.
