Taking Ginseng?

Just reaching out to the alternative medicine crowd out there in JU to see if anyone out there takes Ginseng, what kind, how much, and whether they feel it works. If anyone can point me in the direction of websites that might help answer these questions I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks,

thanks for the help with this one. I'm still trying to find a good resource to find out how much I should be taking according to my need, body size, etc. I suppose I should probably just contact a nutritionist or herbalist for this.

Peace,

Good idea!

Treat Herbal remedies the way you would treat prescription meds.

I have taken ginseng daily for quite a few years now. The best standardized ginseng supplement I have found is Ginsana. You can buy it just about anywhere that sells supplements. Just follow the dosage instructions on the package.

I like it because it is standardized, meaning you get the exact same dosage each time you take it. Not true with many non-standardized supplements.

Thanks a lot Mason, does Ginsana require you to take like a 1-2 week rest from taking it?
