tldr;
- Scientific studies show American Ginseng reduce damaging, reactive compounds in cells
- Regular consumers have better circulation, more endurance, and balanced inflammatory responses
☤ What the Science Says
A 2011 study published in Phytomedicine investigated how American Ginseng (AG) extract protects human blood vessel cells (HUVECs) from damage caused by high glucose levels—a condition known to trigger oxidative stress.
Key findings included American Ginseng:
- Significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells
- Prevented DNA damage and mitochondrial stress
- Blocked activation of NF-κB, a marker of inflammation
- Stabilized proteins tied to vascular health, including fibronectin, VEGF, and endothelin‑1
All without interfering with hormone signaling—inviting deeper cellular nourishment without pushing the system.
