Ginseng (Panax ginseng, P. ginseng) is a dried root that has been widely used as a traditional medicine since ancient times because of its stimulative and tonic properties [1]. P. ginseng is known to exert a wide range of pharmacological effects both in vitro and in vivo [2]. Studies have investigated the favorable effects of ginseng on energy homeostasis, the cardiovascular system, nervous system, skeletal system etc. Clinically pertinent anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-stress, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities have also been documented. Further investigations for its clinical implications including the supportive treatment of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer‟s disease, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, cancer etc are strongly needed.
