Is ginseng root really good for improving sexual verility in men?
I was recently visiting Korea, and the men there believe ginseng root is good for sexual potency in men. I also noticed that the ginseng products (tea, candies, drinks) are all extremely expensive. Seems to me that it's just a superstition, which the notoriously money-hungry Koreans use as an excuse to sell useless stuff. Anyone have the facts on ginseng's real qualities (if any)?
Answers:
Ginsing does have factors for it and the best comes from Korea.
It contains:
Panaquilon (stimulant of internal secretions)
Panaxin (central organ, heart and blood vessel stimulant)
Panacene (stimulant of medulla centers and relaxant of nervous system)
and Panaxic acid (promotes metablosim and relaxes heart and artery movements)
Plus:
Amylase and phenolase (enzymes), vitamins B1 and B2, schingenin and saponins.
Some herbalists feel it is best when taken with gotu kola (fo-ti-tieng).
There is something there, but it is hard to separate the fact from the fantasy
