Abstract (english)

Ginseng is primarily used as an adaptogen. Ginseng increases non-specific immune
system function of the organism against physical, chemical or biological stress. Since
• ancient times, ginseng has proved its efficacy in relieving tiredness and in improving
physical condition. The effect against stress and tiredness was confirmed in numerous
biological trials. Studies have been conducted on the effect of ginseng which show
that ginseng and its saponin glycosides can improve the memory and the ability to
study. Ginseng can also improve sexual function.
Ginseng is recommended to students, sportsmen, managers and elderly people. It is
not suitable for pregnant women and children. It was well studied in numerous clinical
trials. Some side effects such as diarrhea, insomnia and skin rashes are possible. There are also some contraindications (acute illnesses accompained with fever, asthma).
It is very important to follow the instructions concerning the correct dosage of
ginseng and how it should be taken.
