Ginseng Weight Loss

Ginseng has been used to cure many things for thousands of years. It's a very great herb for many conditions. Ginseng can also help with weight loss. There are a few different types of ginseng. I will go over those types of ginseng and how each can help with weight loss.

Asian Ginseng (Korean, Chinese, Japanese)

• Increases energy
• Boosts metabolism
• Increases physical endurance
• Reduces appetite

American Ginseng

• Increases energy
• Increases endurance
• Lowers blood sugar levels

Dang Shen (ginseng substitute)

• Increases metabolism
• Improves digestion
• Increases energy

Siberian Ginseng (not real ginseng, but similar)

• Decreases stress
• Increases energy

Dang shen (Codonopsis Root) is said to be a good alternative to ginseng. It can give the same great effects, but at a cheaper price. The most potent ginseng for weight loss is Korean ginseng. Dang shen can also be used for weight loss.

Ginseng lowers blood sugar. Spikes in blood sugar occur when we eat too many processed foods. This causes fat storage and cravings. Ginseng can reduce appetite. Asian ginseng heats up the body and boosts metabolism. This allows for your body to use more food for fuel, instead of storing it as fat. A higher metabolism results in weight loss.

Ginseng is well-known for how it boosts energy and physical endurance. This can be very helpful for athletes or anyone who exercises. If you are able to do more in your workouts, you can burn more calories and lose more weight.

In one study, ginseng disrupted the body's process of storing fat. If your body can't store fat, you won't gain weight. In another study, obese mice were fed wild ginseng and lost body weight.

If you are trying to lose weight and you feel like you could use some more energy and help, ginseng might be good for you. You can find it for fairly cheap. If you try it and it doesn't work for you, then you may want to try another weight loss herb or change something in your routine.
