Anti-fatigue effects of Korean Red Ginseng extract in healthy Japanese adults: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Three-week consumption of KRG extract resulted in a significant decrease in the fatigue VAS score compared to the placebo group (p = 0.035). No significant difference was found in plasma cortisol and lactic acid levels between the groups. There were no differences between groups in the incidence of adverse events and the results of urinalysis, hematology, and biochemistry. These findings suggest the potential of KRG extract in mitigating fatigue and the safety of KRG extracts in healthy adults.
