What the research shows.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 RCTs (n=427) examining Panax ginseng for fatigue. Ginseng supplementation (200-3,000 mg/day for 4-12 weeks) significantly reduced fatigue severity (SMD=-0.35, 95% CI -0.57 to -0.14, p=0.001) versus placebo, supporting its adaptogenic anti-fatigue properties.Bach et al., Journal of Ginseng Research, 2016
Double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT of 90 participants evaluating Panax ginseng (200 mg/day standardized to 4% ginsenosides) for 8 weeks. Ginseng significantly improved cognitive performance on mental arithmetic, working memory tasks, and reaction time versus placebo, with effects attributed to ginsenoside-mediated cerebral vasodilation.Reay et al., Psychopharmacology, 2005
