Ginseng Capsules (Korean Red Ginseng Extract, Panax Ginseng 10% Ginsenosides) (4 Month Supply) 240 Vegan Capsules - 1,000mg per Serving for Mood, Cognitive Function and Energy Support by Double Wood

Amazing supplement. Increased zest for life, gave feeling of abundance of life, life energy and life force. Miraculous quality as it gives everything else what was promised as well.

After taking a capsule of Korean Panax Ginsing three times a day for a couple weeks, I felt "something" unexpected happening: noticable mood improvement and greater calm, paradoxically while feeling increased energy. The energy part I expected, but not the mood elevation. "It feels like I am on an antidepressant," I thought. I took the antidepressant Wellbutrin for a short period after my mother died in the 1990s and it feels like that, though not as overwhelming, not as "fake." Curious, I looked into it. My subjective feeling was confirmed: Korean Panax ginseng (also known as Korean Red Ginseng or Asian ginseng) is often associated with mood improvement and is traditionally used to enhance mental state. ​Here's a breakdown of the scientific perspective: ​Adaptogen Properties: Ginseng is considered an adaptogen, which means it's believed to help the body adapt to and resist physical and psychological stressors, which can indirectly lead to an improved sense of well-being and less negative mood. ​Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Several studies suggest that Panax ginseng can lead to significant reductions in perceived stress levels and less negative emotion in moderately stressed healthy adults. ​Antidepressant Potential: Research, particularly preclinical studies (on animals), suggests that ginseng and its active components (ginsenosides) may have antidepressant-like effects. Proposed mechanisms include regulating the HPA axis (the body's central stress response system) and potentially affecting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. ​Calmness and Cognition: Some human studies have shown that ginseng can improve aspects of working memory and subjective ratings of calmness in healthy young adults. It may also help with mental fatigue. ​However, the evidence is not entirely consistent: ​While many studies show positive effects, some older or smaller studies have found no significant difference in psychological health or mood compared to a placebo in healthy adults. ​One study noted that while the ginseng group reported significantly less negative emotion, their shift on a mood scale was from "calm/relaxed" towards "excited/tense," suggesting it may be more of an energizing or stimulating effect rather than a pure "mood elevator" in the sense of profound relaxation. ​In summary: Korean Panax ginseng is a promising agent for managing stress, improving calmness, and potentially alleviating depressive or anxious symptoms, which would generally be experienced as a positive lift in mood or well-being.

Nice booster, no side effects

Great product!

This product seems to be working just fine but is only has been few weeks since I received it from Amazon. So more time is needed to leave a proper review.

I’ve only been taking Panex Ginseng supplements for roughly 3 weeks now, but I notice the opposite of cognitive functioning. Since taking these supplements, I feel a bit hazy...like I'm in a fog. I definitely cannot take the recommended dosage of (2 capsules daily). Taking one capsule is not as bad, but felt sharper before taking these supplements. I will try it a bit longer, but I'm not sure if these are right for me. Do notice a little more energy.
