Benefits of ginseng
Nicknamed the 'root of life,' ginseng is extremely rich in essential amino acids, in many minerals (magnesium, iron, manganese, calcium, zinc, ...) and in vitamins A, C and all those of group B. Acting on the adrenal glands, it enables the secretion in greater quantities of the hormones involved in these glands: adrenaline (for dynamism) and cortisol (natural regulator of blood sugar, which will help regulate sugar cravings). As a stimulator of the sex glands, ginseng offers the possibility of activating hormones such as testosterone, dopamine, estrogen, and progesterone. This active release of hormones specific to desire and procreation can be a real solution for individuals who face libido or fertility problems.

With a price per kilo of around £2700, ginseng is a source of miracle benefits that suffers from its success. You can buy ginseng capsules in pharmacies, powders to dilute in specialised stores or buy fresh roots and to dry them to use as infusions. Beware of cheap ginseng products on the internet as the origin and composition of these products may not be as claimed.
