Boosts Brain Function

One of the most promising studies done on ginseng’s benefits is a 12-week study involving Alzheimer’s patients. By the end of the study, the ginseng group tested higher in cognitive performance relative to the control group.[1] Young people may also benefit from the cognitive enhancement ginseng provides. In a trial involving children with ADHD, ginseng combined with omega-3 supplements was shown to improve memory recall and attention span.[2] In another study, ginseng given to healthy adults was shown to improve cognitive performance in mental arithmetic tasks and relieve mental fatigue.[3]

2. Lowers High Blood Sugar

Bioactive molecules in ginseng, known as ginsenosides, are responsible for anti-diabetic effects in people with prediabetes and in people with type 2 diabetes.[4] As many as 12 human trials have been done on diabetes patients, and ginseng has been found to improve glucose uptake and regulate insulin production to produce anti-diabetic effects.[5]

3. Increases Libido

Asian ginseng in particular is known for boosting libido and reversing symptoms of erectile dysfunction. It’s known as an aphrodisiac in Korean and Chinese systems of medicine. Scientific studies on both animals and humans confirm it enhances sexual behavior. In fact, ginseng is shown to increase sperm count and quality in men.[6] In a study on menopausal women, Asian ginseng was shown to improve sexual arousal.[7]

4. May Improve Energy Levels

As an adaptogen, ginseng can help you adapt to stress, increase your energy levels, and even improve exercise performance.[8] According to one review of 10 studies, ginseng reversed chronic fatigue symptoms in just 15 days.[

Helps Protect Against Cancer

In addition to providing antioxidant support and lowering inflammation, ginseng also has direct anti-cancer actions.[10] In one meta-analysis of scientific studies that looked at the impact of ginseng on your risk for cancer, researchers concluded regularly taking ginseng can lower your cancer risk by 16%.[11]

6. Lowers Cholesterol

High cholesterol elevates your risk for heart disease, as the buildup of unhealthy cholesterol in your bloodstream causes arterial plaque. The anti-cholesterol plant chemicals found in ginseng can help protect against heart disease by lowering high cholesterol levels. Studies show that ginseng supplementation lowers levels of harmful cholesterol known as LDL cholesterol while raising levels of HDL cholesterol, which is the healthy fat that helps keep LDL cholesterol levels down.[12]

7. Reduces Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is another factor that contributes to the development of heart disease, as well as other chronic diseases. Ginseng has been found to have powerful inflammation-lowering effects. In one animal study, ginseng’s inflammation-lowering capacity was attributed to its ability to reverse brain damage.[13] By keeping inflammation at bay, regular ginseng supplementation could potentially help prevent neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, and even depression — which has also been linked with chronic inflammation.
