Why The Elderly Needs Ginseng Supplements

Learn the importance of ginseng supplements to seniors’ health.

We all know that the elderly are the most vulnerable when it comes to getting infected with illnesses, especially the common cold and the flu. Our immune system declines as we age, which means having a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and taking supplements, particularly ginseng, are a must. 

Are ginseng supplements really effective?

A recent clinical study on how Korean red ginseng boosts immunity has proven that it does strengthen the immune system through an increase in T cells, B cells, and white blood cells. On the same note, a recent medical journal has found that Korean red ginseng was similar to an antihistamine in terms of improving rhinorrhea, nasal and eye itching, and sleep disturbance in patients with allergic rhinitis. Lastly, recent research found that KRG improves cognitive function in healthy people and patients with Alzheimer’s disease. With these results, we can safely say ginseng does benefit one’s overall health and well-being.

What are the benefits of ginseng supplements to the elderly’s health?

Aside from strengthening the elderly's immune system, improving cognitive functions, and fighting fatigue, regular consumption of ginseng supplements can provide them the following:

• Anti-inflammatory benefits
• Antioxidants
• Improved mental performance
• Healthy blood circulation support
