Panax Ginseng

What It Is:
A traditional herbal extract used for centuries to boost vitality, energy, and focus. It contains active compounds called ginsenosides that may enhance brain and physical performance.

What It’s Used For:

• Mild energy and alertness boost

• Stress and fatigue reduction

• Possible immune and sexual health benefits

Typical Dose:

• 200–400 mg daily, standardised to 5–10% ginsenosides

Side Effects:

Why It’s Rated 2/5:
Some promising data, but effects are inconsistent and mild. Fine for long-term wellness, not a real performance driver.
