Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng) main root 1:2 liquid extract.

Standardised to contain 10.5 mg/mL of ginsenosides.

Contains ethanol 60% v/v.

The exact ginsenoside ratio should be confirmed against the current Australian bottle before it is added to the website. The GhamaHealth page currently states “Rg2:Rb1,” while current international manufacturer information uses different constituent wording and a slightly different total figure.

Adults: Take 7–40 mL per week, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

This is a weekly dosage range and must not be interpreted as 7–40 mL per day.

The range is unusually broad, so the amount should be selected by a practitioner rather than chosen independently.

Confirm the dosage against the current Australian product label before use.

Shake well before use.

Measure the prescribed amount carefully.

Dilute the prescribed amount in a small quantity of water or juice immediately before taking.

Take only according to the current product label or your healthcare practitioner’s directions.

Earlier daytime use may be preferable where Korean Ginseng affects sleep, but follow the timing selected by your practitioner.

Do not exceed the recommended or professionally prescribed amount.

Do not increase the dosage because fatigue, stress or concentration concerns remain present.

Avoid combining it with large amounts of caffeine, energy drinks, pre-workout stimulants or several stimulating herbal products.

Stop use and obtain professional advice if marked restlessness, palpitations, persistent headache or sleep disturbance develops.

No added gluten or dairy.

Vegan-friendly.

Do not use if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to Korean Ginseng or another ingredient in the preparation.

Severe rash and allergic reactions have been reported uncommonly with Asian Ginseng. Stop use and seek urgent medical assistance if facial swelling, throat tightness, breathing difficulty or widespread hives develops.

Always check the current product label where allergies or dietary sensitivities are present.

For practitioner dispensing and professionally guided use.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Discontinue use during an acute infection or fever unless your treating healthcare practitioner advises otherwise. This caution appears in the current manufacturer directions.

Korean Ginseng may be stimulating and insomnia is its most commonly reported side effect.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have persistent insomnia, marked anxiety, frequent palpitations or sensitivity to caffeine and stimulant products.

Avoid combining it with excessive caffeine, energy drinks, stimulant medicines or several stimulating herbal preparations.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have diabetes, recurring low blood glucose or take insulin or another glucose-lowering medicine.

Asian Ginseng may lower blood glucose in some people, so monitoring and medicine review may be required. Do not independently reduce diabetes medication.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have high or low blood pressure or take blood-pressure medicine.

Effects on blood pressure are not consistent, and interaction concerns remain uncertain. Continue prescribed monitoring and do not change medication independently.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you take warfarin, another anticoagulant or an antiplatelet medicine.

Asian Ginseng may affect blood clotting, while research involving warfarin has produced mixed results. Professional review is therefore appropriate rather than assuming the combination is either safe or prohibited.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have an autoimmune disorder or take immunosuppressive medicine. Asian Ginseng may worsen some autoimmune conditions.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you take antidepressants, cardiovascular medicine, cholesterol medicine or multiple prescription medicines, as potential interactions may depend on the individual medicine.

Do not use during pregnancy unless specifically directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Use during breastfeeding is not recommended unless specifically prescribed, as adequate safety information is unavailable.

People planning pregnancy should obtain professional advice before use.

Do not give this concentrated 60% ethanol practitioner preparation to a child or adolescent unless an age-appropriate amount has been individually prescribed.

Short-term oral use of Asian Ginseng appears reasonably well tolerated for many adults, but its long-term safety remains uncertain. Extended use should be periodically reviewed rather than continued indefinitely.

Possible adverse effects include sleep disturbance, headache, digestive upset, rash and allergic reactions.

Stop use and obtain advice if persistent insomnia, palpitations, dizziness, marked agitation, unusual bleeding, low-blood-glucose symptoms or another unexpected reaction occurs.

Persistent or unexplained fatigue should be assessed rather than continually treated with a tonic. Seek advice when fatigue is worsening or accompanied by chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, fever, night sweats, weight loss, heavy bleeding, severe low mood or significant weakness.

Discontinue use at least seven days before general anaesthesia, surgery or an invasive procedure unless otherwise directed by your treating healthcare professional.

Tell your doctor, surgeon and anaesthetist that you use Korean Ginseng.

Contains ethanol.

Keep out of reach of children.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
