What is it about?
Ginseng consumption during short term (4 weeks) likely could not have an impact on anabolic-catabolic hormones such as GH and cortisol in response to high-intensity resistance exercise in young female non-athletes. Thus, It is not recommended to consume it for improvement of anabolic status in women without resistance training experience.

Why is it important?
There are claims about Ginseng efficiency on aerobic and anaerobic performance during last decades. But, Its efficiency in anaerobic performance and physiological functions is not approved based on this study.
Perspectives
Any general recommendation regarding positive effects of ergogenic supplementation such as ginseng is not confirmed and rational suggestions should be proposed based on exact studies without exaggeration.
