How about chinese ginseng? is it working the same also?
There are different types of Panax ginseng, and some are more stimulatory than others. Unless you are willing to fork out a lot of money though what you will end up is likely going to be garbage literally. The high quality roots can bring $600 a pound or more, so the Chinese hold on to these. Most of what gets exported for teas, tinctures, powders, capsules, and cut herb are the outer root bark and rootlets that the Chinese remove and used to throw away. So it gets used now for cheaper ginseng products.
