Research over the years have found that ginseng may boost the immune system. There is some evidence that one particular type of American ginseng extract might decrease the number and severity of colds in adults. Did you know there were more than one type? The two main types of ginseng are Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Different types have different benefits too. Some other benefits of ginseng is that it may lower blood sugar level, high blood pressure, menopausal symptoms, and other conditions….. NOT a guarantee, but there have been studies that suggest that it has many health benefits.
