Antioxidant - Ginseng has antioxidant properties

Ginseng is considered to be an anti-aging herb. This is partly due to the many beneficial effects of ginseng, and partly its antioxidant properties. Oxidation results in the generation of free radicals that damage tissue and can lead to cancer. Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) is involved in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Ginseng - Antioxidant

The anti-oxidant effects of American ginseng are well documented in the literature. It chelates metal ions and scavenges free radicals. Ginsenosides Rb1 and Rg1 have been found to inhibit lipid peroxidation in rat liver and brain microsomes.

Hu-Chun and Kitts (Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society, 2001) found that American ginseng showed higher affinity to scavenge free radicals than Korean ginseng (P < 0.05) and also delayed lipid peroxidation longer (P < 0.05). The difference appeared to be related to their different Rb1 and Rb2 content.

Chemotherapy agents such as cisplatin cause nausea and vomiting due to oxidant gut injury. Concurrent medication with ginseng reduces these side effects.
