	Panax Quinquefolius, American Ginseng (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Panax quinquefolius L. extract (PQE), Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), and Hypericum perforatum extract (HPE), in combination or alone, on the survival and regeneration of axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in an optic nerve transection model in adult hamsters.
		Aqueous extracts of American ginseng root (Panax quinquefolius L.) from Wisconsin and Illinois were applied to the gastric compartment or the brainstem compartment of the bath chamber to evaluate the peripheral gut or central brain effects of the extracts on brainstem unitary activity.
		After P. quinquefolius extract application to the gastric or brainstem compartment, a concentration-related inhibition in neuronal discharge frequency in brainstem unitary activity was observed, suggesting that P. quinquefolius plays an important role in regulating the digestive process and modulating the brain function in the rat.

	Ginseng / Panax ginseng / Panax quinquefolius(fireweed->exnatrem->siberiangin)
		Panax Ginseng is very expensive so many products contain very little of the herb, but instead is combined with other herbs and even caffeine in some cases.
		There are three herbs commonly called Ginseng: Asian or Korean Ginseng (Panax Ginseng), American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus); however, the latter is not Ginseng at all, but Russian scientists believe it functions like Ginseng, and so have promoted it as such.
		The standard dosage of Panax Ginseng is 1 to 2 g of raw herb, or 200 mg per day of an extract standardized to contain 4 to 7% ginsenosides.
