Why it works for Testosterone Levels…

One of the main reasons this strain of ginseng is so effective for testosterone levels is its effect on blood sugar levels – which indirectly increases T-levels.

Taking the right amount of ginseng can be a big help towards lowering and regulating your body’s blood sugar levels[1]. This is ideal for anyone looking to raise their T. Lower blood sugar levels reduce the amount of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) in the body.

SHBG is a protein which kills testosterone, when in your bloodstream SHBG binds to any circulating testosterone and strips it of it’s anabolic potency, which makes it unusable by your body. With less SHBG in your system, the more testosterone you can use to make gains.

Studies which have monitored subjects regularly supplementing the nutrient have shown it to have a significant effect on T-levels. [2]

Why it works for your Libido…

Another benefit of this nutrient is its ability raise sex drive.

With regular supplementation Red Asian Panax Ginseng can have a calming effect on the body and promote more ‘apparent’ feelings in more sensual areas. One study even reported daily supplementation of the nutrient seemed to greatly reduce the symptoms of sexual dysfunction. [3]

Not only does it help get you in the mood, it’s also been seen to put you in the mood too, with numerous studies reporting an increase in erection quality and overall sex drive. [4]red-ginseng-2

The impact is so effective that studies have even recorded it to have measurable effects, with those supplementing the nutrient appearing to have improved cognitive performance during ‘mentally demanding tasks’ when compared to those who didn’t. [7]

One of the better qualities of Red Asian Panax Ginseng is its ability to improve overall blood flow. [9]

As a potent vasodilator, this ginseng has been seen to increase the amount of nitric oxide in your blood stream. This means your blood vessels become more dilated and can pump more through at a time. So when you’re training hard at the gym and you’re looking to get that full and thick look, this is definitely something you need to try. [9]red-ginseng-3
