Panax Ginseng

True ginseng for fatigue, not a candy “energy” chew.

Panax ginseng is the Korean/Asian root, not Siberian eleuthero and not a gas-station shot. Standardized ginsenosides matter. It can feel stimulating; it can also do nothing. Cycle it rather than taking it as a forever tea.

How to use

200–400 mg standardized extract in the morning for 2–8 weeks, then take a break.
