Dosage of ginseng to induce individual effects

(This page does not work yet, I hope it will be different in the future and will be used to calculate the required ginseng dosage due to the effects described.)

It is slowly becoming the standard that quantitative data are being reported on the effects of various forms of ginseng and individual panaxosides. This gives the opportunity to calculate the appropriate dosing.

The problem of panaxoside variability and interactions

The situation is plagued by the fact that many physiological parameters have different panaxosides in opposition , so the overall effect of ginseng can not be easily estimated. Different forms of ginseng (fresh, white , red ...) are again significant differences in the quantities and proportions of the content substances. Another source of variability is absorption, which modulates the efficacy of the patient's gut tract and the activity of the bacteria living there and the modified panaxosides partially modified by the cleavage of the sugar residues. MUDr. physicians in Asia are aware of this, and therefore require treatment for some of the purified panaxosides, or their prescribed mixtures, which are sometimes given by injection (such as infarctions). In addition to the rate of absorption, excretion and transduction across the cell membrane, the CNS effects also include the rate of transfer across the blood-brain barrier.

At the current stage of the pharmacodynamic question I ignore and try to calculate for some effects the required single dose, assuming an immediate even distribution of the active substances in the soft tissues of the whole organism.

Content of ginsenoside in red ginseng

(Analysis of red ginseng ( gineng radix rubra ) provided by the faculty of TCM in Taipei.)

panaxosid mg / g mg / g
Rb 1 1.3047 0.4070
Rb 2 0.9958 0.8214
Rc 1.1110 0.2263
Rd 1.7234 0.5505
Re 1.3340 2.8905
Rg 1 3.1327 2.9026
Rg 2 1.4886 2.3007
Overall 11.390 10.099

A single dose corresponding to a concentration of 10 μg / ml

Assuming that the human body contains 40 liters of water and provided the panaxosides are distributed evenly (due to their amphiphilic nature, the situation is close to reality), a single dose of red ginseng will correspond to the concentration of ginsenoside 1 μg / ml as follows:

panaxosid dose (g) dose (g)
Rb 1 26.8 86.0
Rb 2 35.1 42.6
Rc 31.5 154.
Rd 20.3 0.5505
Re 26.2 2.8905
Rg 1 11.2 2.9026
Rg 2 23.5 2.3007
Overall 3.1 3.5

Interpretation with respect to individual effects

  • effect pxsd. Rb 1 for the normalization of immune vascular parameters occurred at a dose of 10 μg / ml, corresponding to 268 g of red ginseng ( he2007peg )
  • effect pxsd. Rb 1 against aggression occurred at 2.5 mg / kg, corresponding to a dose of more than 53.6 g of red ginseng ( yoshimura1988ace )
  • the effect of P. notoginseng panaxoside extract on endothelial proliferation and vascular repair occurred at a dose of 0.1 μg / ml ( hong2009aes ), which would probably correspond to less than 0.3-1g of P. notoginseng (estimated).
  • ( kwon2003ekr ) [ other ] Increase in liver regeneration rate by 20% (experimental resection in a dog) at a dose of 250mg / kg ginseng radix rubra for 9 days (-1 to 7 due to surgery). At 80kg, it would be 20g ginseng radix rubra a day.
  • ( morisaki1995mae ) [ cardiovascular ] 100% increase in "capillary" growth rate was achieved with ginseng radix rubra 10μg / ml saponin, i.e. 60L soft tissues, 600mg ginseng radix rubra . An increase in growth rate of 300% was achieved by 100μg / ml, ie under the same assumptions as 6g ginseng radix rubra .
