“…There are very few reports of controlled laboratory studies with human subjects. Our results extend the work of Teves et al (13), who found no significant ergogenic effect of GS ingestion in subjects during submaximal treadmill running to exhaustion. Studies reporting that endurance performance in rodents is increased following GS treatment suggest that the observed increase in endurance performance is induced through a shift in substrate utilization by decreasing carbohydrate metabolism and increasing the proportion of energy transduced to the exercising muscles via lipid metabolism (5,6,14).…”

“…Teves et al (13) had human subjects ingest 2 g of P. ginseng root (1.5% active glycoside), and in the present study our subjects ingested a purified ethanol-extracted ginsenoside dose of 8 or 16 mglkg. The total doselweight ingested in this study is 5% of that used in the Avakian study and approximately 50% of the dose used by Teves et al (13); thus, we cannot preclude the possibility of significant effects with higher doses. It is noteworthy that the dose recommended in commercially available preparations ranges from 200 to 400 mg daily.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ginseng extract ingestion on physiological responses to intense exercise. Subjects performed a control ride (CN) on a cycle ergometer, followed by placebo (PL) and ginseng (GS) treatments. Ginseng was ingested as 8 or 16 mg/kg body weight daily for 7 days prior to trial GS. Venous blood was sampled for FFA, lactate, and glucose analyses. Due to similar findings for both dose groups, the subjects were considered as one group. Lactate, FFA, V O~, vE, and RPE increased significantly from 10 through 40 min. RER increased during the first 10 rnin of exercise and then remained stable, with no intertrial differences. Glucose did not vary significantly from 0 to 40 min or among treatments. RPE was significantly greater and time to exhaustion was significantly less during trial CN than PL or GS, while PL and GS trials were similar. The data indicated that with 1 weekof pretreatment there is no ergogenic effect of ingesting the ginseng saponin extract.

“…The current data extends previous findings [7,10,11] which refute a significant ergogenic effect in subjects with high exercise capacities. Pieralisi, Ripari, and Vecchiet [7], suggested the metabolic and physiological responses of ginseng ingestion resemble those occurring due to aerobic endurance training and may partly explain the generally poorer response results found in aerobically trained individuals.…”

Ginseng is one of the most popular herbal supplements in the world. It is a plant widely used in folk and traditional medicines for cardiovascular, immune, nervous and endocrine systems, and according to the researchers, it has the ability to increase the non-specific resistance state, which characterizes it as an adaptogenic substance. There are different species of ginseng, such as the American, Chinese, Korean and Japanese ginseng; the Korean species (Panax ginseng) is being used for thousands of years as a tonic, prophylactic and "restorative" agent, with powerful antioxidant properties. For a long time, its use was empirical, because people used to believe that it was a panacea that promoted longevity, with beneficial effects for the treatment of physical fatigues. Nowadays, the active components of Eleutherococcus senticosus are well described, however, there are no data on the quantity of a certain class of these secondary compounds produced in each species. Although the Eleutherococcus senticosus extract may contain several substances, including vitamins, minerals, cellulose, and ethanol, the substances responsible for inducing various physiological responses are the eleutherosides (in the root) and ciwujianosides (in the leaf). As Eleutherococcus senticosus receives great attention by showing that its active components can provide protection against oxidative stress, among other benefits, contributing to health and the prevention and treatment of diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. The purpose of this article is to describe the main, adverse and toxicological effects of Eleutherococcus senticosus recently related in the literature .
