Panax Ginseng

Recommended Intake & Goals

Take in the morning or 1 hour before training; cycle usage (e.g., 6 weeks on, 2 weeks off) to prevent adaptation.

Preparation & Usage Steps

  1. Ginsenosides modulate the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, regulating cortisol output.
  2. Cellular ATP production is stimulated, increasing energy availability.
  3. Nitric oxide pathways are activated, supporting cardiovascular blood flow.

Nutrition Cues

"Use standardized extracts containing at least 4% ginsenosides."
"Take early in the day as it can be highly stimulating."
"Cycle use regularly."

Preparation Tips

  • Panax Ginseng is highly synergistic with Cordyceps; taking them together before training provides a stellar boost to aerobic capacity and VO2 max.
  • If you are in a heavy overreaching training phase, use ginseng to protect your central nervous system from burnout.

Synergistic Foods & Bio-boosts

  • Stamina Adaptogen Tea: Steep 1g of red ginseng root extract in hot water with ginger. Drink in the morning.
