What are the effects of ginsenosides?

I believe everyone is familiar with ginseng. Descriptions of ginseng can be seen in major domestic TV dramas and martial arts novels. Ginseng is considered to be a life-saving medicine. The reason why it has such a good therapeutic effect is that ginseng contains a special ingredient, which is saponin. Ginsenosides are only found in ginseng. Taking medicines containing ginsenosides can quickly restore energy and resist diseases.

1. Induce apoptosis of cancer cells: Cell apoptosis is an active physiological process, just like the blooming and falling of flowers. Under normal circumstances, cell proliferation and apoptosis always maintain a dynamic balance with increases and decreases, and this dynamic balance can maintain normal and stable cell proliferation. When certain factors cause uncontrolled cell proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, it can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and cancer.

2. Enhance the body's immunity: Dysregulation or low immune function of the human body is one of the main causes of cancer. Chemotherapy drugs or radiation therapy used during cancer treatment can further destroy the body's immune function. Ginsenosides used alone can effectively regulate the human immune function. When used after surgery or during radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it can effectively protect immune organs and enhance immune function.

3. Improve immunity: Immunity is the body's natural defense barrier. If the immune system is disordered, the immune surveillance function will lose its function and cannot eliminate mutated cells, which is also one of the causes of tumors. Ginsenoside rh2 can regulate and enhance the body's immunity through various pathways and has a protective effect on the immune system.

4. Alleviate the effects of toxins: In the process of treating tumors, it is found that the failure of cancer chemotherapy is often related to a certain degree of drug resistance of chemotherapy drugs. General chemotherapy drugs are not easy to enter cancer cells. The p-glycoprotein in cancer cells can excrete chemotherapy drugs, causing cancer cells to develop poor resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Ginseng saponins have both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties and can easily enter the nucleus of cancer cells to kill cancer cells.

5. Anti-fatigue effect: Ginsenosides can prolong the weighted swimming time of mice and increase the glycogen reserves or reduce the glycogen consumption of mice. They can reduce the serum urea content of mice after exercise and inhibit the increase of blood lactate in mice after exercise. This shows that ginsenosides have a good effect in relieving physical strength and anti-fatigue.

From the above introduction, we can find that the effect of ginsenoside is really great. Now we often see many health products on the market containing ginsenoside ingredients. This is to make people's spirits better and increase the body's immunity. People who often have to work overtime can take health supplements containing ginsenosides to maintain their body functions.
