Both Ginsengs (Asian and American) do not mix with Tea. Tea is contraindicated when taking Ginseng as it potentiates the stimulation and will create heat in the blood. The TCM guidelines for using Asian Ginseng should be applied to its American version. With long-term use it is best to reduce the dose from what is obviously stimulating to be a mixture with yin/blood tonics. Otherwise, if you are not very deficient in energy to start with Ginsengs can create enough heat to burn up yin. Basic blood tonics like Wolfberries could do the job. I have used American Ginseng and Panax/Asian Ginseng and there is little difference, virtually none. I know that in China they say American Ginseng is supposed to be more cooling and make these other differentiations, but I have a highly sensitive body and I cannot tell a significant difference. However, Eleuthero/Siberian Ginseng is noticeably different from both. It rides lower in the body -- more at the hips and legs
I have had shortness of breath for several months and decided to try American Ginseng. I took 4 capsules 3 times a day (double the recommended dosage stated on the container). My condition has improved quite a bit and I will continue the same dosage for another week before changing to 2 capsules 3 times a day.
This gives me a noticeable boost in energy and mood. I have more stamina and feel more even keeled and less anxious and depressed. I'll be taking this American ginseng in the summer and Korean red ginseng in the winter because I do notice that the American ginseng lets me sleep easier than the Korean ginseng, which can be too warming in the summer. Ginseng is a great substitute for caffeine and a lot better for you too imo. And it's very affordable here so I really appreciate that.
My husband takes this product to help him manage his blood sugar. Along with diet and exercise, he has found this to be the best secondary line of defense against spiking blood sugar. As a diabetic, it is so important for him to have quality products that help him meet his goals in managing his health.
I’ve tried several brands of ginseng over the years. Some were too strong and some did nothing. This one is perfect. So the dosage and ingredients are just right. The price is good too as is always the case with now brand. The quality is very good. I feel energized but not wired.
It is a very good supplement to overall health and energy levels. The quality of both the product and packaging is amazing, and the dropper is very easy to use. The taste is not overwhelming, and I personally really use it. I'm willing to buy it again, and I trust it.
very good package; look nicer; opened and tried 3 days, it benefit for my sleeping; slept well for past nights; will continue to buy; very cheap and affordable compared to other brand; good for energy booster and hard working man in the office, who stay over night maybe; thanks for iherb
American Ginseng is excellent for boosting your energy, improve immunity and reduce internal heat of your body. The quality of this product is good. To me, it is very effective and the capsule is easy to swallow. I take it every morning so that I can have better concentration on my work.
The now brand has quality ingredients and good packaging. The benefit of this ginseng is for it’s a adaptogenic ability. Read about this herb to see if it will help with stress mood immunity and if it’s appropriate for your age. There is no taste since it is a capsule.
Products in the ginseng family have a significant effect on the body. Most of them are adaptogens, meaning they bring your body into balance. Yet, for me, Siberian ginseng is to hot on my system (yang), so I settle for American ginseng, which is more yin. That does not mean you won't feel the energy from this product. You definitely will. Highly recommended for anyone seeking greater vitality, balance and focus.
It's always hard to tell what effects supplements contribute to, but I really think this is doing something! I took it to combat fatigue and feel it helps (not like a huge buzz like caffeine (which is good), but really subtle? Took it after lunch, and it doesn't keep me awake at night. Also feel it actually improves sleep - I wake significantly less during the night now. Been taking for only 3 days, and already sleep improved! I'm quite sensitive to supplements, but no bad side-effects and gentle on tummy!
