The proven powers of ginseng in improving quality of life

A recent United Nations Development Programme report* revealed that Filipinos’ state of health has deteriorated through the years. Worse, 72% of Filipinos claim that they ‘feel healthy’ despite experiencing various health issues like problems in sleeping, bad memory, attention problems, fatigue, and high cholesterol levels.


Urbanization has significantly changed our way of life. Our demanding lifestyle pushes us to juggle several roles and tasks to accomplish as many things as we can. Apart from our challenging lifestyle, we also face threats from the environment – pollution, poor quality of food, climate change and work-induced stress.

“Our nutritional needs have evolved. Nutritional supplements not only augment our diet but also combat the threats of urban living like pollution, stress & fatigue. To feel stressed, worn out, exhausted – these are the usual complaints of fatigue. It spares no one and it is the most frequent complaint in medical practice. Based on clinical studies, nutritional supplementation can in fact significantly reduce fatigue, stress and improve quality of life,” said Dr. Ivan Olegario, corporate physician of Boehringer Ingelheim (Philippines), Inc.

Fortunately, nature has provided us with many alternatives that aid in living a healthier life. One of these is ginseng, a go-to cure-all in Eastern medicine for almost any ailment from as early as 33 B.C. Over the years, it has been known to enhance the body’s immune system, help manage stress, protect cells against free radicals, and improve sexual potency.

However, not all ginsengs are created equal. The quality of ginseng is dictated by the thoroughness of its preparation – from cultivation, harvesting to processing. The overall process normally takes 4 to 6 years. There is one ginseng, Ginseng G115 that goes through the same rigorous method of extraction. Ginseng G115 is also “standardized” to ensure consistent results and high quality. Over 100 pre-clinical studies have been conducted, proving its efficacy in providing more energy, improving memory and attention, decreasing mental fatigue, enhancing body immunity and protecting cells from free radicals. Ginseng G115 makes for an effective nutritional supplement, especially when combined with multivitamins and minerals.

Lucky for us, the benefits of Ginseng G115 can be found in each capsule of Pharmaton, the only clinically-proven multivitamin formulation.
 
“Pharmaton contains multivitamins, minerals plus Ginseng G115 to provide healthy energy that lasts. With sustained energy, consumers can enjoy better quality of life in all aspects – from work performance to a more fulfilling social life. We also take pride in saying that the Ginseng G115 in Pharmaton is made of the highest quality ginseng and is standardized to provide consistent amount of active ingredient in each capsule all for best results,” said Andrew Tuaño, Pharmaton brand manager.

With 40 years of experience in wellness, Pharmaton has been in the forefront of clinical researches to ensure that it provides its consumers nothing but the best. The combination of Pharmaton and Ginseng G115 extract is proven to decrease fatigue and stress not only for unhealthy individuals but also for healthy ones. It is proven to improve concentration, alertness and overall work performance, even of those working in graveyard shifts. The same combination is also proven to enhance quality of relaxation and sleep.

A study by Casco Marasco also shows that compared to multivitamins alone, Pharmaton with Ginseng G115 can improve one’s quality of life by 86% more. According to the study, Pharmaton can enhance several critical aspects of life including energy level, satisfaction, social life, immunity, work performance, relaxation & sleep & even sexual life.

The Proven Powers of G115
With the demands and hazards of urban living, we need extra support to allow us to cope with our changing needs & achieve a better quality of life – at work, with our family and friends and in pursuing our everyday passions.
