Ginsana
Ginsana® is recommended for the treatment of exhaustion and fatigue as well as improving the immune system and aiding cognitive performance.
Ginsana is a specifically clinically proven Panax ginseng (G115 extract), which has been registered in Switzerland since 1975 by Pharmaton, a world leading phytomedical group. Ginsana is the ‘gold standard’ and most scientifically researched ginseng in the world with the backing of over 35 years of scientific investigation and usage with 54 pre-clinical studies and 46 clinical studies published. These include double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
In the making of Ginsana, only selected ‘white ginseng’ roots aged between 5 to 7 years are used to ensure optimal concentration of active components. Controlled cultivation of the plant’s origin, growing conditions and treatment after harvest determine the composition of the major active ingredients. Each Ginsana capsule contains 4% ginsenosides at a constant ratio of panaxadiols (PD) (notably Rg1) to panaxatriols (PT) (notably Rb1). A 20-step standardisation process guarantees product quality and reproducibility. The result of Ginsana’s ‘Seed to Patient’ journey is that every person who takes Ginsana is taking the EXACT same product which has the backing of 35 years of scientific research.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, patients should consult their health care professional.
