Tolerability
Ginsana is generally well tolerated, with no serious effects reported. In a study of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), another ginseng species, the extract was shown to reduce the effect of anticoagulants [21].

FAQs

FAQs

How does Ginsana differ to other Panax ginseng products?

Each Ginsana capsule contains the specific standardised G115 ginseng extract from the roots of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. G115 always contains the same amount of ginsenosides, standardised at a concentration of 4%.

The cultivation of ginseng plants follows the international guidelines of the Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). After harvesting, only the 5-7 year old roots are processed via a standardized extraction method which is used to prepare the extract. Analytical controls ensure the absence of contamination. At the end of the extraction, the G115 is standardised and additional studies with the finished product (Ginsana) are carried out – to support its quality, tolerability and reliability. Ginsana is the result of more than 40 years of clinical research.

How long should I take Ginsana for?

It is recommended to take Ginsana regularly for at least 3 months. The benefits for some people are felt quite quickly, whilst for others it may be necessary to take the full pack in order to experience the maximum benefit.
