Who should use American Ginseng?

There’s a need for more high-quality scientific information about the safety and effectiveness of American Ginseng. Specifically, there’s a great degree of individual variance in how people respond to nootropics in general and American Ginseng in particular. This means that if you use American Ginseng, you may not experience the same effects as those that were seen in scientific studies on it.

It is currently largely unknown what factors play a role in whether a nootropic will be effective for a person.

While we wait for science to explain who is likely to respond to which nootropics, patient self-experimentation with nootropics that have been found safe and effective in placebo-controlled studies in healthy humans is a proven strategy to feel and perform better with the help of nootropics.
