Ginseng
Ginseng is a traditional herb that has been commonly used to improve overall immunity and well-being, and boost energy levels; mainly because it contains active compounds called ginsenosides and gintonin. Also known as adaptogens, ginseng is able to help the body cope with physical, emotional and environmental stressors.
