The medicinal benefits of ginseng are subject to a considerable amount of international debate. In the absence of convincing research demonstrating the efficacy of ginseng as a drug, the United States Food and Drug Administration lists it as a "generally recognized safe food" or GRAS. Research reports have claimed that ginseng lowers cholesterol levels, regulates the metabolism to stabilize blood sugar levels, and reduces the effects of high stress. The South Koreans claim to have gotten better performance from racehorse fed with ginseng. Dr. Breckhman of the Soviet Academy of Sciences carried out extensive research and concluded that "ginseng stimulates both physical and mental activity and strengthens and protects the human organism when undergoing severe and/or physical strain." Ginseng was subsequently used by Soviet cosmonauts and the Olympic team to reduce fatigue.



The primary active ingredient of ginseng is a triterpene saponin called ginsenoside, which has been shown to produce salubrious anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory results. There is no evidence, however, that it improves physical performance. The beneficial medicinal aspects of ginseng are attributed to its effect on the immune system; it enhances the production of phagocytes of cells that destroy invasive microorganisms. Human trials that have been conducted on ginseng have generally been inconclusive, some showing positive effects and some showing no effect. For example, a study of 227 healthy volunteers showed that 100 mg of a ginseng derivative resulted in a lower incidence of colds and higher levels of blood antibodies and natural killer cells. A study of 83 people showed no change in mood as measured by a psychological well-being test. In 45 patients with erectile dysfunction, use of ginseng improved sexuality.



Ginseng is consumed without prescription in the United States and China in a wide variety of products which are marketed by espousing the healing powers of the plant with frequently dubious claims. It is sold as a remedy for rheumatism, anemia, insomnia and just about any general psychological disorder. It comes in capsules, chewing gum, tea and candy and has been marketed as a cocktail and as a soft drink called "Ginseng Rush." It is also purported to be an aphrodisiac. Fragrances of ginseng are used in perfumes, colognes, soaps, cosmetics and shampoo. An estimated six million Americans use ginseng products on a regular basis.
