American Ginseng Powder Info

Wild American Ginseng Root Info

American ginseng powder is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Ginseng has been used in the Orient for literally thousands of years and is well known as an aphrodisiac and general health tonic. A Chinese man named Li Qing Yuen, famed for living a documented 252 years (1678-1930), ate a very simple diet. He ate (Asian) Panax ginseng, goji berries, and not much else.

Goji berries just may be the most nutritionally dense food on the planet but don't undervalue the profound health benefits of ginseng! A combination of ginseng and goji berries may be the closest thing we may ever come to the fountain of youth.

I would add wheatgrass juice to that mixture as well and bee pollen. Good consumption of fruits and vegetables are also tremendous for longevity.

Just What is Wild American Ginseng Root?

American ginseng root is grown in the north east areas of the United States and seems to thrive in damp woodlands. It, like Panax ginseng, is very potent. So much so that older people should consult with their doctors before using it. It's always a good idea to consult with your doctor before using any new supplement anyway, I suggest.

There are many different types of ginseng, i.e., Panax (Asian), American, (from what American Ginseng Powder comes from), Korean ginseng, and Siberian ginseng. What is the best? Well, researchers do know that Panax and American ginseng are very potent cousins, both containing high degrees of ginsenosides, the main active ingredient in ginseng. It's up to the individual, I suppose.

When I was in Korea a few years back, I was an eye witness to an interesting farming method Korean ginseng growers use: they use human manure for fertilization!

This may help it grow faster, but the whole countryside in areas...well, I think you get the idea. American ginseng powder, like the other varieties mentioned, possesses remarkable health benefits including, increased appetite, mental function, increased energy levels, immunity system, etc. Wild American Ginseng Root, as do all ginseng versions, really shines as an energy tonic and as an aphrodisiac.

You can take your ginseng in pill form (provided it's an herbal extract), eat it raw, or as tea. Most opt for tea. Ginseng combined with bee pollen is a very powerful energy tonic. Try it and you'll see! Before we talk about its side effects, please note that ginseng can be expensive for it takes four to six years for the ginseng plant to grow to maturity.

I do not hesitate to say yes it's expensive, but it is truly one of the most nutritionally powerful foods in the world.

Side Effects of Ginseng

Ginseng is a very powerful herb. Use with discretion. Some things to be aware of are:
  • Remember, American Ginseng Powder, Panax ginseng, and every other ginseng is a tonic so don't take before bedtime.
  • It may upset the stomach with taken with Ritalin.
  • American ginseng powder, or any ginseng, should not be taken with caffeine or other stimulants like alcohol as it can elevate blood pressure and cause sleeplessness.
  • Don't take ginseng with drugs that help treat depression, diabetes, or heart problems.I strongly recommend if you have any doubts at all that you consult with your overpaid doctor before you take ginseng
  • American ginseng powder, and all ginseng, can cause: increased menstrual bleeding and breast tenderness, nervousness, insomnia, stomach nausea, and skin reactions.
If you're pregnant, consult with your doctor first before taking ginseng.

Recommendation

Some will say Wild American Ginseng Root is the best ginseng available. Siberian ginseng is usually recommended as it doesn't seem to have as significant of side effects as its counterparts. When taking ginseng as a tea, you may find the taste a little bitter. I take mine with honey, and sometimes with bee pollen granules sprinkled in. This combination is a real energy booster, I kid you not. Look for Siberian ginseng extract blend -- the extract takes out the precious ginsenosides, which is where the main therapeutic benefits of ginseng reside.

Nutritionists as well as doctors recommend taking herbs (technically, ginseng is an herb, including Wild American Ginseng Root, with other vitamins and minerals. This is what I do. I take a vitamin supplement that has not only Siberian ginseng, but also a full compliment of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other herbal extracts.

In fact, the nutritional supplement with ginseng I take daily has an 80% absorption rate into my system. It's a high-quality, pharmaceutical grade vitamin that was made with standards exceeding the U.S. FDA's standards. (American ginseng powder is difficult to certify as pharmaceutical grade, but not in pill form.)
