Researchers believe that it is in large part due to the plant's high concentration of medicinal compounds known
as ginsenosides, unique plant sterols and saponins that are found abundantly in ginseng root and have a range of borderline miraculous effects on the human mind and body.
Both classes
of ginsenosides act on the hippocampus and the cortex, the two most important seats of memory in the brain.
Shergis, J. L. Therapeutic potential of Panax ginseng and
ginsenosides in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Its active compounds are the
unique ginsenosides, and are believed to improve thinking and memory, as well as lift mood.
Some studied have found a relationship
between ginsenoside consumption and diminished symptoms of depression, as well as more efficient digestive function.
Ginsenosides increase acetylcholine levels in the brain by blocking the inhibition of the cholinergic pathway.
These are saponins that are further divided into 2 classes: Rg1 and
Rb1 ginsenosides.
Ginsenosides also reduce unwanted blood vessels that form in the eye, which is another common problem related to diabetes and age - related macular degeneration.
Laboratory tests have shown that
ginsenosides generally inhibit the growth of cancer cells and boost the immune response to foreign bodies, such as viruses and bacteria.
GEROPROTECT Longevity A.I. is a highly advanced anti-aging nutritional supplement that combines gamma - linolenic acid,
ginsenoside Rg3 from Asian ginseng, and withaferin A.
It contains many of the
same ginsenosides as the Asian ginsengs and has similar effects on the body.
Concentrated in the root of the ginseng plant are chemicals
called ginsenosides, which can boost the immune system, stimulate the central nervous system and protect against the effects of stress.
Both groups
of ginsenosides have been shown in different studies to improve cognitive functions including memory.
In Siberian, ginseng is called eleutherosides, and in the ginseng belonging to the panax genus they are known as saponin glycosides, or
ginsenosides.
Ginsenosides and flavonoids are the chemicals that have beneficial properties in ginseng root.
The plant - based components of GenFX, Panax ginseng powder, derived from the Chinese ginseng plant, contains
ginsenosides that enhance alertness and neuronal survival (* Chen et al. 2007), and improve circulation.
Ginsenosides are the phytochemicals responsible for the nootropic effects of ginseng.
Compounds called polysaccharides and
ginsenosides are thought to be the active constituents in ginseng.
Furthermore, KRG's main pharmacological components (like polyphenolic compounds, acidic polysaccharides, polyacetylenes and
ginsenosides — a series of tetracyclic triterpenoid saponins) are also effective in reducing incidence of potential vaginal infections, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and decreased immunity during low levels of estrogen.
[37] These saponins, known as gypenosides, are similar to
the ginsenosides and panaxosides found in Asian ginseng.
Ginsenosides (a main ingredient in KRG) acts at a molecular level to boost metabolism, limit fat tissue production and reduce abnormal food cravings.
Ginsenosides can also stimulate increased production of hormones; adiponectin, insulin and leptin that are responsible for starch, fat and cholesterol metabolism.
[11] Its chemical constituents include the triterpenoid saponins gypenosides which are closely structurally related to
the ginsenosides which are present in ginseng.
Over the next decade 82 saponins (gypenosides) were identified in jiaogulan, compared to the 28 (
ginsenosides) found in Panax ginseng.
