What Effects Can American Ginseng Have On Me?

American Ginseng

American ginseng contains ginsenosides, which stimulates the immune system and fights fatigue and stress by supporting the adrenal glands and the use of oxygen by exercising muscles. Recommended intake is 1 to 2 grams per day in capsule or tablet form or 3 to 5 ml of tincture 3 times a day. Side effects can include occasional cases of insomnia or agitation, especially if mixed with caffeine-containing foods or beverages.
