Science and Pharmacology of American Ginseng
Phytochemists have isolated Saponin glycosides (Saponins), the primary biologically-active components of the American Ginseng root. The specific phytochemicals in American Ginseng include:
- Panaquilon
- Ginsenosides
American Ginseng has been shown to affect biochemical neurotransmitter processes in the brain where Ginsenosides are thought to exhibit a neuroprotectant role on the Dopaminergic system and anti-stress activity on Acetylcholine receptor sites. Studies involving both single-herb and combination-herb preparations suggest that American Ginseng supports cognitive functions such as response time, accuracy, focus, and general memory improvement.
In clinical analysis, American Ginseng has been identified as an adaptogen that increases the body’s resistance to a wide range of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Scientists explain that American Ginseng likely affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, physical endurance, and mental sharpness.
