Paper

Abstract

In terms of anti-aging, ginseng has the effect of "lightning the body and prolonging the life" since ancient times. Although Panax ginseng Meyer (ginseng) has demonstrated anti-aging associations in experimental studies, clinical validation of its impact on telomere length and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)/Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) ratio in healthy middle-aged individuals remains lacking.

Research summary

The paper investigates the potential effects of Panax ginseng on telomere length and NAD+/NADH ratio in middle-aged adults. This study is relevant as it explores a natural supplement's role in biological markers associated with aging, which could contribute to understanding longevity and age-related mechanisms.
