5 Health benefits men get from pure ginseng

Written by: Chris Moen, June 22, 2016

Ginseng is a slow-growing plant, part of the Panax genus, and is found mainly in North America, Korea, China, Bhutan and in eastern Siberia. Its genus name ‘Panax’ derives from a Greek word which means ‘all-heal’ which gives some idea of the potent benefits of this ancient plant species.

Ginseng has been cultivated in Korea and China since the 16th century and by the 20th century the wide popularity and demand for it began to outstrip the natural supply. This led Korea to begin commercial cultivation. Ginseng is today acknowledged as a bringer of enhanced good health and is used by many people around the globe. It can be found in things like energy drinks and energy bars, herbal teas and coffee but the dosage in these is usually minimal. The most effective dose is in tablet form and Auragin Red Korean ginseng provides the benefits of ginseng in its most natural and health-giving form.

What are the health benefits for men taking ginseng?

For thousands of years ginseng has been known to work in tune with the body, helping the body to heal itself and improve general health and mental well being with minimal side effects. Red Korean ginseng is good for both men and women and can help with a wide range of health conditions. The active substance contained in the most potent forms of ginseng is called ginsenosides; it is this substance which provides the health-giving benefits.

Auragin contains 8% total ginsenosides

which is much higher than other brands and it is this which makes it so good. The reason for this is that we use the whole root, not just an extract, and we use a wholly natural process in production.

So what can this magic substance do for you? Here we’ll discuss the ways you can benefit from using Red Korean ginseng.

1. More energy

Ginseng is a well-known energy booster. When taken regularly it can help you to work or exercise for longer without succumbing to fatigue.

Stamina levels improve and you find that even if you do become tired you are not excessively fatigued and can recover from exercise much quicker. This is because ginseng is a great muscle relaxant so you can exercise and work hard without putting excessive strain on the muscles and joints.

2. Less stress

If you take Red Korean ginseng regularly you will also find that your mind feels clearer. It is well established as a potent form of relaxant for the mind and when your mind is relaxed your thought processes become easier, you become more alert, your cognitive functions improve and stress levels reduce considerably.

Many people complain about ‘brain fog’ and Red Korean ginseng is widely discussed on health forums as being helpful for those who want to feel more focused in their day-to-day life.

People who are tired and weak through illness can find that ginseng helps them with physical and mental activity. A Mayo Clinic study found that ginseng, when paired with a doctor’s prescription, "showed good results in helping patients with fatigue.””[1]There have been studies which indicate that ginseng can improve stress levels as well. As a result, some people have better physical endurance because of the consumption of ginseng.

3. Boosts the immune system

Ginseng is thought to be what is known as an ‘adaptogen’ which is a substance that works with the body’s immune system to strengthen overall health. It is thought that the ginsenosides, which is the active substance contained in ginseng, may have an anti-inflammatory effect on the immune system. Because it can fight fatigue, it may also strengthen the body's immunity and resilience.

The more potent forms of ginseng, of which Auragin is one, have long been believed to help in improving heart health. Some studies have said that red ginseng can help to lower blood pressure but others have found that it can cause a rise in blood pressure, so the jury is still out on this issue. If you have any problems with your blood pressure it is advisable to consult with your doctor before taking ginseng.

4. Enhance male vigor

There have been several US medical studies into the effectiveness of ginseng on improving male performance, and red ginseng in particular has been shown to have a positive effect on blood flow. Changes to the person’s lifestyle are also often recommended to work in tandem with taking the ginseng.
