Ginseng

Author: Rod Ferris CPT CPAFLA

Ginseng is found in many teas, powders, extracts, tablets and soft drinks. Ginseng is primarily marketed as an aphrodisiac, an adaptogen (which is substance which builds resistance to stress), a fat burner, or an antioxidant.

Studies: There is no proof that ginseng actually works as a sexual performace enhancer. However, some studies suggest that it may positively influence stress. There is no significant research to date that suggests that Ginseng will actually enhance athletic performance.
