Vuksan V, et al. - Preliminary observations suggest that American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius [AG]) may reduce postprandial glycemia. Herein, researchers assessed the efficacy and safety of AG as an add-on therapy in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) controlled by conventional treatment. It was noted that AG extract served as an effective and safe adjunct to conventional treatment in the management of T2DM.
