Korean Red Ginseng

Has your performance in the bedroom declined?  Are you having a harder time obtaining and maintaining an erection required to promote sexual satisfaction?  You may be suffering from erectile dysfunction.  You’ve seen the treatments advertised for those suffering from erectile dysfunction such as Viagra and Cialis.  And while these products may work, side effects such as a prolonged erection or increase in heart rate may scare you off from taking these drugs.  Korean Red Ginseng is a natural Ginseng product used in Asia to treat sexual dysfunctions.  Many choose to take Korean Red Ginseng, a natural remedy, over the chemical products available because it is less costly, more readily available and has fewer side effects.  The recommended dosage of five hundred milligrams of Korean Red Ginseng costs less than ten cents as compared to one tablet of Viagra which runs about ten dollars.

In a Korean urology clinic, a study of forty-five men with an average age of fifty-four was conducted.  These men suffered from erectile dysfunction as defined as the lack of ability to obtain and maintain an erection necessary for satisfactory sexual performance.  Participants in the study were divided into two groups, those that received a placebo to treat their problem and those that were given Korean Red Ginseng to treat their erectile dysfunction.  The study lasted eight weeks wherein the participants were tested based on the blood flow in their penis, the size of their penis and the firmness.  The results showed that those who were treated with Korean Red Ginseng had improved levels of obtaining and maintaining an erection as well as an increased desire for sexual activity.  During the study testosterone levels were tested and results showed that those who consumed Korean Red Ginseng did not have increased levels of testosterone levels in their body.  As a conclusion from this finding, it is noted that Korean Red Ginseng does not affect hormones in the body but rather increases sexual ability by targeting the nervous system.

Korean Red Ginseng has also been linked to the successful treatment of type 1 human immunodeficiency virus.  Korean Red Ginseng’s highly active antiretroviral drug therapy (HAART) is shown to reduce the diminution of CD4 T Cells in HIV positive patients.  HIV infected people taking Korean Red Ginseng either by itself or in combination with other auto-immune treatment medications showed a reduction in the amount of infectious cells and an increase in the amount of healthy cells.  Patients who take Korean Red Ginseng over a prolonged period of time show that they are typically able to fight off mutations to zidovudine (ZDV).

To reap the benefits of Korean Red Ginseng as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, it is recommended to take three hundred milligrams of Korean Red Ginseng capsules three times a day.  This is the dosage used on test subjects in the above mentioned study.
