Frequently Asked Questions

What is Panax ginseng and how is it different from Siberian ginseng?

Panax ginseng (Korean/Asian ginseng) is the true ginseng — containing ginsenosides, which are the primary active compounds responsible for its adaptogenic, energy, and cognitive effects. Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus) is a different plant with different active compounds (eleutherosides) and is technically not a true ginseng. Both are adaptogens, but Panax is generally considered more potent for energy and cognitive enhancement.

What does "standardised extract" mean?

Standardisation means each capsule contains a guaranteed, measured amount of the active compounds (ginsenosides) — ensuring consistent potency across every dose and batch. Non-standardised ginseng products may have highly variable ginsenoside content, making dosing unreliable. Standardised extract products are more therapeutically reliable.

Is Panax ginseng suitable for long-term daily use?

Panax ginseng is traditionally recommended in cycles — typically 6–8 weeks on, followed by a break of 2–4 weeks before resuming. Long-term continuous use may lead to reduced efficacy. Cycling also prevents potential overstimulation of the adrenal system with prolonged use.

Can Panax ginseng help with erectile dysfunction?

Yes. Panax ginseng is one of the few herbal supplements with clinical evidence for improving erectile function. Several meta-analyses support its use for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction — it works via nitric oxide pathways to support blood flow. It is not as potent as prescription medications but may provide meaningful natural support.

Who should avoid Panax ginseng?

People with hormone-sensitive conditions (oestrogen-dependent cancers, endometriosis), those on blood thinners (warfarin), diabetes medications, or MAOIs should exercise caution or avoid without medical advice. Ginseng can affect blood sugar and blood pressure — monitor if relevant.
