Siberian Ginseng promotes robust immunity by increasing immune system cell and antibodies activity. As well, Siberian Ginseng extract has been shown to decrease fasting plasma (blood) glucose in patients, thereby decreasing the risk of diabetes. This is thought to be due to Eleutherosides' action of increasing the kinetics of insulin on its receptor, allowing a higher inflow of glucose molecules into target cells to stabilize blood glucose levels. Traditional use of Siberian Ginseng also includes improved mental performance, as it protects neurons and inhibits brain cell death.
