Researchers believe the primary active ingredients of P. ginseng are chemicals called ginsenosides, the actions of which are not clearly understood. Ginseng is widely promoted as an energy booster and appears in numerous energy drinks and energy bars. Few good clinical studies have been done to evaluate ginseng’s stimulant effects. Many products sold in the United States that contain ginseng also contain CAFFEINE or other stimulants, and simple carbohydrates that quickly convert to GLUCOSE in the body. A recent evaluation of ginseng supports perceptions that it helps maintain stable blood glucose (blood sugar) levels in people who have type 2 DIABETES, though further studies are necessary to understand the mechanisms and consistency of this effect. Men who have diabetes and want to take ginseng for this purpose should first talk with their doctors. Ginseng cannot be a substitute for oral antidiabetes medications or for INSULIN injections; when prescribed, these are necessary to maintain appropriate blood glucose/ insulin balance.
Ginseng’s reputation as an APHRODISIAC may arise from its effect on nitrate responses in the body, including increased production of nitric oxide. Some studies show that this effect makes ginseng effective as a treatment for ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. When taken for this purpose, ginseng appears to function in a way similar to SILDENAFIL (Viagra). Other studies suggest that the ginsengs act as adaptogens in the body. Adaptogens are substances that protect and enhance the adrenal gland’s stress response, usually by enabling the same effect to occur at lower levels of cortisol secretion. Other adaptogens include the herbs astragalus, ashwaganda, and rhodiola.
Ginseng is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement and is available in various forms and products. Many combination products blend ginseng with GINKGO BILOBA, which seems to augment the overall effect. Men who take medications for heart disease (particularly ANTICOAGULANT MEDICATIONS) or for diabetes should consult their doctors before taking ginseng products. It is important to read the list of ingredients for all ginseng products and to avoid those that contain ma huang (ephedra), a natural stimulant that has been banned for its many adverse effects.
