shown to display synergistic effects against breast cancer cell growth when

ginseng displays potent antioxidant defenses against free radical damage to

in its ability to smooth out post-meal blood-sugar surges and carbohydrate
metabolism in both nondiabetics and type II diabetics."

"Tissue and animal studies of one form of ginseng, called panax, give some
credence to the root's sexy reputation. A study published in the May 1995
issue of the journal British Pharmacology, for instance, concluded that
substances in ginseng extract known as ginsenosides may work in a similar
way to Viagra. Viagra enhances the effects of nitric oxide, which helps
relax artery walls, allowing more blood flow into the penis. Ginsenosides
may encourage the release of more nitric oxide."
