The Unknown Benefits of Red Ginseng, Promoting Better Sleep.
Red Ginseng
Red Ginseng, a major health supplement ingredient representing South Korea, is a 'red ginseng' made by steaming and drying six-year-old fresh ginseng roots. In fact, red ginseng, which accounts for 36% of the total sales of health supplements in the country, is already well-known for its effects such as revitalizing energy, enhancing immunity, and strengthening the body.
In the processing of red ginseng, toxins within the ginseng are eliminated, allowing for the formation of various new beneficial elements. Additionally, red ginseng is known to contain the widest variety of beneficial saponin components compared to other types of ginseng.
Beneficial for Promoting Sound Sleep
Recent research has brought to light the ability of red ginseng to induce sound sleep, garnering significant interest in its additional benefits. A research team led by Professor Lee Sun-ah at Korea University studied the relationship between red ginseng and deep sleep in 15 adult men. The researchers divided the participants into two groups: one that consumed red ginseng daily and a placebo group that did not. The experimental group was instructed to take 4.5g of red ginseng daily for two weeks.
The results showed that the REM* sleep of the group taking red ginseng for two weeks decreased from 20.6% to 19.7%, while their non-REM sleep increased from 18.2% to 20.5%.
This indicates that consuming red ginseng can enhance overall sleep quality by increasing deep sleep and reducing light sleep. However, it's important to note that due to the heat-generating properties of ginseng, individuals with a naturally warm body constitution might find that consuming red ginseng late at night could actually disrupt their sleep.
