Panax ginseng extracts have been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years as a tonic indicated for its beneficial adaptogenic effects on the central nervous system, protection from stress, anti-fatigue action, enhancement of sexual function, and acceleration of metabolism. An adaptogen is a substance that helps the body deal with stress and defined as a therapeutic and restorative tonic generally considered to produce a “balancing” effect on the body. The properties generally attributed to adaptogens are a non-specific increase in resistance to a wide range of stressors, including physical, chemical, and biological factors, as well as a “normalizing” action irrespective of the direction of the pathological changes.*
