Panax Ginseng

During prolonged exercise, Panax ginseng promotes endurance and stamina by sparing carbohydrates and allowing skeletal muscle to oxidize free fatty acids for energy production. Panax ginseng also encourages adrenal gland health in times of occasional stress by maintaining healthy levels of certain adrenal hormones, most notably, corticosterone.
