Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Ginsenosides, the primary active components of ginseng, have a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for promoting overall vitality and balancing various body systems, including aspects related to female health. While ginseng has historically been used to support menopausal symptoms, boost energy, and enhance sexual function, its use for the "Estrogen body system" is primarily rooted in tradition rather than robust scientific validation. Some laboratory and animal studies suggest that certain ginsenosides may interact with estrogen receptors or exert estrogen-like effects, potentially influencing hormone activity. However, clinical evidence in humans is limited and inconsistent. The majority of studies are either in vitro or in animal models, with only a few small trials in humans suggesting mild estrogenic or anti-menopausal effects. As such, the primary justification for using ginsenosides to support the estrogen system comes from traditional practices and indirect experimental findings, rather than solid clinical evidence. More rigorous, large-scale human studies are needed to determine the efficacy and safety of ginsenosides for this specific purpose.
