Red Panax Ginseng is a top-tier, world-class adaptogenic herb well known for its ability to enhance and increase health generally with specific benefits that include more stamina, energy and endurance, stronger immune function, cognitive enhancements,nervous system function and now, increasingly, studies are suggesting it can slow or even stop the progression of baldness for women and men.
That’s good news for folks who want to hold on to their “great hair” and enjoy superior health and more graceful aging as added benefits.
I have taken Red Panax Ginseng for 50 years and wild horses couldn’t keep me from from my stash … back in the day, I used to take a standardized ginseng extract that was the laboratory-confirmed equivalent of 60,000 mg of ginsenosides per day.
I still take a lot but not quite that much. I was 40 then and I’m 74 now … 20,000 mg equivalence is a better dose for my purposes.
I also take Panax Notoginseng, Eleuthero (aka Siberian Ginseng), and American Ginseng because I like the way I feel and I have access to high-quality ginsengs from sources I trust. Ginseng is in high demand globally and that means you have to know your source or, I assure you, you are running the risk of wasting your money on bogus or adulterated products. If you need help in finding excellent ginseng you can trust. message, call or email. I can help you.
Did ginseng save my hair? Nope. All the hair I was meant to lose was long gone by the time I discovered ginseng for other purposes in my late 20s. On a high note, losing my hair was no big deal for me. But I do understand why so many people will do just about anything to hold on to it.
