About ginseng

Is ginseng hepls to diabetes and which of the type of ginseng is good

[norreal]

It is a 'may help' Type II. It probably acts as anti oxidant. I still have to come across a single scientific study that establishes Ginseng reduces average blood sugar levels!

[NulaWidger in reply to norreal]

Here is an interesting study on Ginseng:

"CONCLUSIONS: Ginseng modestly yet significantly improved fasting blood glucose in people with and without diabetes. In order to address the uncertainty in our effect estimates and provide better assessments of ginseng's anti-diabetic efficacy, larger and longer randomized controlled trials using standardized ginseng preparations are warranted."

NulaWidger: You have done good by highlighting the conclusion in your contribution here. I am sure you will not mind my copy pasting in bracket the text that appears there as 'Importance'

[Despite the widespread use of ginseng in the management of diabetes, supporting evidence of its anti-hyperglycemic efficacy is limited, necessitating the need for evidence-based recommendations for the potential inclusion of ginseng in diabetes management.]

[NulaWidger in reply to norreal]

Makes no odds to me.. I merely said it was interesting.

[norreal]

After turning in my initial response, I searched the web. I do have a few other things in my diet plan I have submitted here for use by members. Turmeric and Linseed seem to hold some promise for boosting insulin production...but diet control seems to work for everyone!

[norreal]

GPhilip: weebmd.com says: Ashwagandha might lower blood sugar levels. This could interfere with medications used for diabetes and cause blood sugar levels to go to low. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar closely.

Many uses are stated there along with side effects.

Where to buy buy Gensing in india, in Noida / Delhi.

[norreal in reply to tarunshar]

Tarunshar: Internationally GNC is pricey. Perhaps herbalist would be economical option. You could ask for "Ashwagandha". Note, I am more ignorant about its availability within India!

Thanks

ginseng has nothing to do for diabetes.

on the other hand elders should be prepared for its aphrodisiac properties especially on those with already enlarged prostate.

[norreal]

200 Ginseng tablets by GNC are for about $ 60, there are some side effects and its positive contribution in management of diabetes is not conclusive.
