KOREAN GINSENG & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
How
it works...
HISTORY:
It is said that in order to test for true ginseng, two persons
walk together, one with a piece of the root in his mouth
and the other with his mouth empty. If at the end of five
li (two miles) the one with the ginseng in his mouth does
not feel himself tired, while the other is out of breath,
the plant is true. --Chinese Materia Medica, Dr. F. Porter

CONSTITUENTS
OF GINSENG: The root of ginseng contains...several steroid
compounds such as panaxatriol. A steroid is a chemical compound
with the same basic structure as the sex hormones and the
adrenal cortical hormones, of which estrogen, testosterone,
cortisone, and DCA are prime examples. Testosterone, the
male sex hormone, is found in different proportions in the
male and female body; and acts as the body's natural anabolic.
By definition, an anabolic is a substance that builds up
the health of the body by regulating the burning of energy.
Because the steroid constituents of ginseng are so similar
in structure to the body's own anabolic agents, it's certainly
very feasible that they would act in a similar manner. The

ENERGY:
Among the general metabolic effects of Panax ginseng is
a complex of phenomena that work to increase energy buildup
in the body and to bring about a muscular efficiency in
humans by as much as 40%. Adaptogens also enhance work capacity
and reduce fatigue under arduous conditions such as severe
temperatures or long hours.
The
Book of Ginseng, Sarah Harriman
ENDURANCE:
Some of the earliest experiments on this stimulant action
were carried out on mice by Professor Brekhman, head of
the Institute of Biologically Active Substances in Vladivostok.
He devised a swimming test to see if ginseng could increase
stamina. Mice are put into the water, where they swim until
they are exhausted. They are allowed to rest, and then made
to swim a second time. Professor Brekhman showed mice given
ginseng were able to swim nearly twice as long before they
were exhausted. The same experiment has been repeated in
many parts of the world, with the same result. A European
laboratory has recently demonstrated that even if the mice
are given doses of ginseng similar to the normal human doses,
their increase in stamina is still quite noticeable. The
ginseng effect is cumulative. If the mice are given ginseng
continuously for a month they can regularly swim for twice
as long as those mice not given ginseng.

OXYGEN:
Consider for a moment the basic fact of the life process
whereby food is burned by the body to give off energy, while
carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) are created. CO2
is discharged from the lungs when we exhale, and H2 combines
with oxygen to form water which is discharged in the urine
and sweat. Hydrogen may be referred to as a positive ion,
which is as useless to the body as dust clogging the inner
workings of a machine. To insure that the body functions
normally, hydrogen must be removed, but for a complete removal
a large quantity of oxygen is needed. The germanium compound
(found in ginseng) with its strong dehydrogenating effect
takes the place of oxygen in combining with hydrogen to
eliminate the latter from the body. (Laboratory) results
obtained showed a remarkable decrease of oxygen consumption
in the diaphragm and liver...clear indication that the compound
acted as a substitute for oxygen in combining with hydrogen.
(Korean Ginseng has the highest content of organic germanium).
