Effects of Ginsenosides

Since ancient times when people had some knowledge of medicine, before the traditional treatment of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, ancient doctors knew the preciousness of ginseng. Because ginseng is a rare health treasure, its health-preserving effects are unmatched by other herbs, so it is often used to treat difficult and complicated diseases. Ginsenoside is the main component of ginseng, and there are more than 30 types of it. So what are the effects of ginsenoside?

1. Induce apoptosis of cancer cells: Cell apoptosis is like the moment when flowers bloom and fall, which is an automatic physiological process. Under normal circumstances, there is a dynamic balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis, and this dynamic balance can maintain normal and stable cell proliferation. When certain factors cause uncontrolled cell proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, it can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and cancer.

2. Enhance the body's immunity: Dysregulation or low immune function of the human body is one of the main causes of cancer. Chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapy used during cancer treatment can further destroy the body's immune function. Ginsenosides used alone can effectively regulate the human immune function. When used after surgery or during radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it can effectively protect immune organs and enhance immune function.

3. Improve immunity: Immunity is the body's natural defense barrier. If the immune system is disordered, the immune surveillance function will lose its function and cannot eliminate mutated cells, which is also one of the causes of tumors. Ginsenoside rh2 can regulate and enhance the body's immunity through various pathways and has a protective effect on the immune system.

4. Alleviate the effects of toxins: In the process of treating tumors, it is found that the failure of cancer chemotherapy is often related to a certain degree of drug resistance of chemotherapy drugs. General chemotherapy drugs are not easy to enter cancer cells. The p-glycoprotein in cancer cells can excrete chemotherapy drugs, causing cancer cells to develop poor resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Ginseng saponins have both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties and can easily enter the nucleus of cancer cells to kill cancer cells.

5. Anti-fatigue effect: Ginsenosides can prolong the weighted swimming time of mice and increase the glycogen reserves or reduce the glycogen consumption of mice. They can reduce the serum urea content of mice after exercise and inhibit the increase of blood lactate in mice after exercise. This shows that ginsenosides have a good effect in relieving physical strength and anti-fatigue.

Among the effects of ginsenosides, the first one we introduced to you is its therapeutic effect on cancer. It can help induce apoptosis of cancer cells and is one of the rare anti-cancer elements. In addition, ginsenosides can enhance the body's immunity, relieve fatigue and resist fatigue, which is excellent for health care. If the financial strength allows, it is beneficial to eat some ginseng appropriately. Of course, there must be a limit to the tonic.
