The Benefits and Side Effects of Ginseng

33 Risposte a “The Benefits and Side Effects of Ginseng”

1. Haven’t watched the vid but I’ll bet it’s great 👍

2. Regulations aren't all bad.

3. As a practitioner of Chinese medicine we would never prescribe any type of ginseng except for the right condition and constitution of the patient. As one example, American ginseng has a more cool nature than Korean or red ginseng. Someone who already runs hot and/or has HBP or other excess conditions would likely get worse taking red ginseng. Women experiencing hot flashes or night sweats as a symptom of menopause would definitely feel worse taking red ginseng.

4. This is a rather poor analysis by Dr. Greger; with a distinct western-centric bias; as the evidence from China, Japan and South Korea overwhelmingly supports many powerfully efficacious uses of high quality ginseng products, American-Ginseng included. Comparing the positive to the negative findings from, for example, South Korean research departments – would be a very one-sided affair – as it is almost entirely highly positive in terms of health outcomes. The fact that unscrupulous suppliers are contaminating the supply simply means people should be encouraged to procure certified Korean products, for instance.

5. Good stuff Doc. tnx

6. Sounds like it’s best to avoid it… fake supply & ingredients & awful side effects = no thank you.

7. My dad used to grow ginseng and dry it before selling it. Good information, thank you.

8. I buy the whole dried root, red (specially treated) is my favorite. I take it as an occasional tonic. I don't recommend a lay person use it for any illness because it can make it much worse. It is good for when recovering from surgery and illness though. I found that American ginseng is great for when you need to work late such as cramming overnight for exams or projects.

9. Wow that’s really good to know. I take panax ginseng only when I’m about to do an intense cardio workout as my stamina increases like 10x it feels. I never found much benefit outside of that though and it’s good to know that there can be adverse effects to regular use of it.

10. So it seems like a bit of Korean ginseng is good for buddy?
    I see that American ginseng can be problematic, but seemed like the Korean was good?
    I understand Dr. Greger said to hold off on non-American until they cab be proven safe, but if the Korean ginseng tests didn't find danger, isn't that the green light?

11. It’s hard not to like ginseng !

12. Apparently, being on a ginseng trip all the time is what's up with so many whacky leftists & liberals? Since it appears to be so difficult to get the real stuff, I'm not going to bother risking it.

13. Can you cover new fatty acid C15? 🙏🏾

14. I'd be curious to know your findings on eleuthero, sometimes incorrectly called "siberian ginseng." From "Extreme Alpinism" by Mark Twight (although he doesn't list any papers):

    "Eleutherococcus senticosus – This supplement is among the adaptogens — plant-based chemicals that increase immune and metabolic function. Eleutherococcus senticosus is a member of the Aralia family of herbs. Much of the testing on Eleutherococcus senticosus, often referred to as EC, has been done in the former Soviet Union. These tests, when combined with my four years of personal experience and the testimony of other athletes, suggest that EC can deliver great benefits. Many studies show improved cognitive function, accelerated reflexes, and increased endurance. Double-blind European tests confirm 40 to 45 percent increases in endurance, perhaps based on EC’s effect of sparing glycogen while increasing oxidation of fatty acids. Blood tests indicate a more even and consistent glucose metabolism, which results in fewer sugar-related highs or lows. EC’s active ingredients are glycosides, closely linked to sugar molecules."

15. 👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!

16. Apologies for not understanding the direction of advice (the advice went back and forth a lot), but should we take Red Ginseng or Not? And if so, for what?

17. Unless I have it wrong, this appears to be a discussion of processed ginseng supplements, and not fresh ginseng. What about the actual fresh ginseng root? good we’re bad for us?

18. The alternative health information in the 90s always said ginseng was to be taken only for a certain amount of time and then stopped to give the body a rest from it. The difference between positive benefits shown in the four week study and negative effects from the four month study didn't surprise me — how has everyone managed to forget what used to be (I thought) widely accepted? How about some people running studies who are actually familiar with the material under evaluation? Thanks Doc and staff 🥦❤

19. I grow my own. Laughing–it was growing there when I got the place, but you can buy the seeds and grow your own to avoid adulteration. It's not easy to cultivate though, must have shade. Nice having my own supply. I don't "take it" regularly. A few times per year. Probably doesn't help much, but also shouldn't hurt any at my low dosage.

    Perhaps my good health has more to do with the food I choose to eat.

20. Should I better buy an extract or the normal plant? What about Ginkgo?

21. Interesting! Thank you for sharing <3

22. The panax ginseng is so bad for you in case you're on any antidepressants/anxiety drugs.

23. “BroScience” at its best is what Dr. Gregor is stating.

24. Supplements should be more regulated and audited

25. The best tea is plain green tea with nothing else added. Don't get complicated with any fancy drinks that you think will outsmart the system.

26. 🩻🩺🩺🩻🩻😁

27. Says results are underwhelming, proceeds to give several examples of amazing benefit

28. Sorry this is confusing, so is ginseng bad?

29. I was taking a vile of Chinese red ginseng 2500 mg w/ a vile of royal jelly/ ginseng
    everyday for over a year, almost 2 yrs.
    I ran out and decided to take a week off. That week was weird like caffeine or drug withdraw.
    I don't use coffee or eat chocolate.
    A long lasting headache feeling down, like drug withdrawl. I've used ginseng most of my adult life. Never had withdrawal w/ a headache before. I'm going to buy dried root from a ginseng store, to be certain.
    thanks for ur video

31. I always learn some interesting, useful information when i whatch you're video's

32. abuse syndrome
