Panax ginseng

Panax ginseng, also known as Asian ginseng, is a revered medicinal root in traditional Eastern medicine, celebrated for its adaptogenic properties. Modern research indicates that it may aid in weight management and metabolic health. In a randomized controlled trial, ginseng supplementation resulted in significant reductions in body fat and improvements in lean muscle mass among overweight individuals. Studies have shown that ginseng can modestly lower fasting blood glucose levels in both diabetic and non-diabetic populations . Animal studies further suggest that ginseng may reduce fat accumulation, enhance insulin sensitivity, and improve lipid profiles by lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides . These findings position Panax ginseng as a promising natural adjunct in addressing obesity and metabolic syndrome. (15)
