This double-blind study found that 2g Korean red ginseng a day given to postmenopausal women for 8 weeks increases total antioxidant status and mitochondria DNA copy number significantly compared to placebo.
You know why increasing antioxidants is good, but what about mitochondria DNA copy number? Decreases in mitochondria DNA copy number interrupt mitochondrial function, and, like free radical damage, leads to aging. So, ginseng helps offset two of the causes of aging.
Scores on the Fatigue Severity Scale also improved significantly more in the ginseng group.
This study suggests that Korean red ginseng can improve biological aging in women.
