Ginseng Review

 width=The supplement ginseng is derived from the root of the Ginseng plant. The active ingredients in ginseng are ginsenosides. Ginseng is used commonly used for lowering blood sugar levels, improving the immune system, and enhancing physical and mental performance. There are many, many variations of ginseng, the most common being Asian and American ginseng.

Research

As of yet, studies have been inconclusive as to whether or not ginseng aids in weight loss. Part of this is due to the difficulty in studying ginseng because of the many different variations and levels of quality of ginseng.

One study ((Appetite, 2007, 49(1), 303)) showed that ginseng injected into mice (at 10mg/kg) reduced body weight and food intake. Another study ((Phytomedicine, 2002, 9(3), 254-258)) showed that ginseng decreased body weight in mice of 9 grams over a 12 day period (from 12 daily injections of 150 mg/kg).

I was unable to find any studies on ginseng’s weight loss abilities in humans.

Conclusion

Despite the buzz about ginseng as a weight loss supplement, there still needs to be more research to be difinitive. Early studies are supportive, but they are all done in mice. Ginseng is sure to have health benefits, but whether or not it will be an effective diet pill ingredient, I cannot say. If it’s in a diet pill, no problem. But if it’s the main ingredient, head for the hills.

TOP 2 RATED DIET PILLS OF 2012
#1 Editor's Choice - Adapexin-P

We really like that Adapexin-P 37.5mg is very straight forward in their marketing and website approach. They have a clear focus on using clinically proven ingredients that will maximize your weight loss - which is the only way to sell a diet pill in our opinion.

With straight forward and honest marketing, proven ingredients, and a great Money Back Guarantee, we suggest that Adapexin-P is a high quality diet pill. Consumers are very satisfied with Adapexin, and so are we, making it our #1 product of choice.

#2 Consumers' Choice - Phenphedrine

Phenphedrine is the strongest diet pill around. It's one of the the only products we have ever reviewed that not only surpassed the weight loss results of the banned Fen-Phen, but is legal and extremely safe. The only reason it is not our #1 diet pill is because Adapexin-P is a bit less expensive.

Phenphedrine is ideal for someone who wants a diet pill / fat burner that contains some of the best ingredients available backed by a money back satisfaction guarantee. The price is great and you can't go wrong with their lifetime guarantee. We say give Phenphedrine a try. Two thumbs up!
