Positive experiences
“I left everything else the same and doubled my panax ginseng dose to about 2000 mg 3x daily. This really made the difference.”
“I think nothing is better than Ginseng- for me it's best to take it every other day to feel the effects, works very well with Ginkgo- makes your mind super sharp.”
“A good quality ginseng (high in ginsenosides) gives me such a clean, calm, focused energy.”
“It all started with just creatine, Ginkgo, and Ginseng. Each one made a significant difference in my life and mental well-being.”
“Panax (Korean) ginseng extract on empty stomach early in the day...has helped me immensely”
“I had a friend attempt to get off adderal and he found panax ginseng and ginkgo combined worked to give him a similar energy and focus”
Negative and mixed experiences
“some of them I don't notice, some of them give me pumps but then I crash afterwards, so I end up not taking it consistently.”
“I tried GS15 Ginseng and didn't like the effects it gave me. Gave me weird disassociation for some reason.”
“I've tried tyrosine and stimulating adaptogens (panax and rhodiola) and alcar and b-vitamins and TMG but nothing works.”
“I've tried ALCAR, Panax Ginseng and ALPHA GPC recently but they didn't give me the boost that I needed.”
“The ginseng may give some increased clarity but that has always been extremely short lived in my experience.”
“It's like nature's adderall. I can't believe I've ever written a paper without the stuff! vs I tried it I didn't notice any particular benefit.”
