Reviews
I had the opportunity to encounter ginseng tincture for the first time about five years ago, when the doctor recommended using food supplements to normalize low blood pressure. I got a 25 ml vial and immediately ran into a problem that it was very problematic to measure the required number of drops with it. The absence of the dispenser left an unpleasant "sediment". The aroma and taste of the tincture are specific, but personally they do not cause any negative emotions in me.
Now that concerns directly the effects of the drug. The result is palpable after only 10-15 minutes after consuming the tincture. I didn’t notice a special influence on the potency, but ginseng has a pronounced tonic effect, comparable to a cup of strong espresso. Tincture relieves fatigue, adds vitality and increases vitality. Unlike coffee, ginseng, according to my feelings, does not adversely affect the state of the cardiovascular system. Of the side effects - increased appetite after ingestion.
Vitaly, 56 years old, Moscow
I decided to take ginseng tincture at my own discretion, when I was looking for a worthy remedy for myself that relieves fatigue. The main criteria were: the natural composition of the drug and the absence of side effects. I use the tincture in the cold season according to the recommendations that I found in the vast world wide web. I take no more than 20-25 drops before meals, stirring ginseng in yogurt or a cup of green tea. I want to note that the drug really gives strength, I clearly feel the improvement in mood. Over the past two years, regular use has practically ceased to have a cold, which I associate with a miracle root.
