GINSENG
Life in a large city subjects
one to a great deal of stress, the results of which can contribute
to the deterioration in the quality of life for many. The
addition of ginseng root extract to a multivitamin base appears
to produce a promising dietary supplement. The aim of the
present study was to compare the quality-of-life parameters
in subjects receiving multivitamins plus ginseng with those
found in subjects receiving multivitamins alone. The study
was comparative, randomized and double-blind, and it involved
625 patients of both sexes divided into two groups taking
one capsule per day for 12 weeks. Group A received vitamins,
minerals, trace elements and ginseng extract G115 (Pharmaton
Capsules) while group B received vitamins, minerals and trace
elements (multivitamin capsules) only. The resulting quality-of-life
was assessed by a standardized 11-item questionnaire, validated
by the Medical School of the National Autonomous University
of Mexico (UNAM). Of the 625 patients recruited, 124 were
excluded from the study due to lack of compliance with the
treatment, so that 338 patients in group A and 163 patients
in group B completed the study. By the end of the study, the
4th of the monthly assessments showed that both the group-A
and the group-B treatments had induced a significant increase
in the quality-of-life index, the change being 11.9 points
for Pharmaton Capsules in group A which was significantly
superior to the 6.4 average increase with the group-B capsules
containing multivitamins alone. Group A showed significant
improvement in every one of the 11 questionnaire items, whereas
group B did not show significant improvement in any of these
items. Significant increases in body weight and in diastolic
blood pressure were recorded in the group B treated with the
multivitamin alone. Adverse effects of the capsules were minimal
in both groups. This study has demonstrated that Ginseng added
to a multivitamin was more effective than the multivitamin
capsules alone in improving the quality-of-life in a population
subjected to the stress of high physical and mental activity
