In a current study, researchers set out to determine the potential effects of ginseng on cancer-related fatigue. They enrolled 364 cancer survivors and randomly assigned them to receive either 2,000 milligrams of American ginseng or placebo daily for eight weeks. They looked at changes in the subjects' level of fatigue after four weeks and eight weeks of treatment. The results showed a significant difference after eight weeks of treatment in the group that had been given ginseng. Read more here.
