Gintonic is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) is an all-natural herb, and it is clinically shown to increase the body's oxygen uptake, which is necessary to help make healthy energy. Its pharmacological effects are of two kinds: adaptogenic, and improvement of physical and mental performance. In humans, some evidence suggests that ginseng can improve glycogen utilization, alcohol clearance, serum lipid level and other metabolic parameters. This is taken as evidence of a pro-homeostasis, adaptogenic effect.
