Benefits

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammation

Ginseng has beneficial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties (4Trusted Source). Some test-tube studies have shown that ginseng extracts and ginsenoside compounds could inhibit inflammation and increase antioxidant capacity in cells (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source). Researchers concluded that red ginseng may help reduce inflammatory markers and reduce oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activities (9Trusted Source).

Enhance Immunity

Ginseng may strengthen the immune system. in people with cancer and even enhance the effects of certain vaccinations against diseases like influenza(31Trusted Source). One study followed 39 people who were recovering from surgery for stomach cancer, treating them with 5,400 mg of ginseng daily for two years. Interestingly, these people had significant improvements in immune functions and a lower recurrence of symptoms (28). Another study examined the effect of red ginseng extract on immune system markers in people with advanced stomach cancer undergoing post-surgery chemotherapy. After three months, those taking red ginseng extract had better immune system markers than those in the control or placebo group (29). Furthermore, a study suggested that people who take ginseng could have up to a 35% higher chance of living disease-free for five years after curative surgery and up to a 38% higher survival rate compared to those not taking it (30).

Cancer Prevention

Ginsenosides in ginseng have been shown to help reduce inflammation , provide antioxidant protection and maintain the health of cells, which could help decrease the risk of certain kinds of cancers (33Trusted Source). (34Trusted Source, 35Trusted Source). an observational study suggested that people taking ginseng could be less likely to develop certain types of cancer, such as lip, mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, liver and lung cancer, than those who do not take it (36Trusted Source). Ginseng may also help improve the health of patients undergoing chemotherapy, reduce side effects and enhance the effect of some treatment drugs (34Trusted

Improve Brain Functions

Ginseng could help improve brain functions like memory, behavior and mood (10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source). Some test-tube and animal studies show that components in ginseng, like ginsenosides and compound K, could protect the brain against damage caused by free radicals (12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source). Ginseng had shown to benefit mental functions, feelings of calmness and mood in both healthy people and those with Alzheimer’s diseases

Lower Blood Sugar

Ginseng, particularly fermented red ginseng,seems to be beneficial in the control of blood glucose in people both with and without diabetes (44Trusted Source, 45Trusted Source). American and Asian ginseng have been shown to improve pancreatic cell function, boost insulin production and enhance the uptake of blood sugar in tissues (44Trusted Source). Moreover, studies show that ginseng extracts help by providing antioxidant protection that reduce free radicals in the cells of those with diabetes (44Trusted Source).

Improve Erectile Dysfunction

Research has shown that ginseng may be a useful alternative for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source). It seems that compounds in it may protect against oxidative stress in blood vessels and tissues in the penis and help restore normal function (23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source). Additionally, studies have shown that ginseng may promote the production of nitric oxide, a compound that improves muscle relaxation in the penis and increases blood circulation (24Trusted Source, 25Trusted Source).
