Not all Ginseng is created equal!

Watkins Balanced Ginseng contains Panax
ginseng, considered the “Crown Jewel” of
Chinese medicine. It has been used for
thousands of years as a tonic, energy booster,
and stress reliever. There are many types
of ginseng, but they do not contain the
same properties and benefits of Panax ginseng.
As an adaptogen, Panax ginseng is
noted for its ability to enhance energy while
providing a calming effect in times of stress.*

What to look for

The greatest health benefits are shown when
Panax ginseng is taken as an extract containing
4 to 7% standardized ginsenosides—the
main group of active compounds in ginseng.
In an independent analysis of ginseng
products on the market, 60% were considered
worthless because they did not contain
an adequate amount of ginseng or ginsenosides,
and 25% contained no ginseng or
ginsenosides at all. Health experts advise
those who are looking for quality herbal
products to purchase only from a reputable
company that they know and trust. Is there
any name more trusted than Watkins?

Why Watkins?

Watkins uses Panax ginseng, which is the
most revered herb in Chinese medicine and
the most extensively studied form of ginseng.
Watkins Balanced Ginseng is standardized
to contain 7% ginsenosides, the highest
amount of ginsenosides recommended to
provide the greatest health benefits.
Benefits of Panax Ginseng:

Anti-Stress: allows the body to adapt and
react more efficiently to stress.*

to enhance energy and is also used to

action of Watkins Balanced Ginseng. Take
them together for optimal benefits.

Watkins’ traditional Chinese
support herb blend
In Chinese medicine, herbs are rarely used
alone. Rather, they are used in combination
with other herbs to enhance their
function. Other herbs in Watkins Balanced
Ginseng which complement and enhance
the function of ginseng include:

Astragalus Root: known to stimulate and
strengthen the immune system. It promotes
general well-being by increasing
stamina, vitality, and resistance to harmful
toxins. Modern research shows that it acts
as a diuretic to help flush the system and
can help to maintain normal blood pressure,
dilate blood vessels, and improve
circulation. Taken regularly, it provides
ongoing immune system support.*

Licorice Root: helps the body deal with
long-term stress. It is often prescribed by
naturopathic doctors for general burnout
and weakness. It is also helpful for
relieving symptoms of PMS and menopause,
as well as some skin problems
and liver conditions.*

Reishi Mushroom (pronounced REE-shee):
shown to maintain normal blood pressure
and blood flow. When taken regularly, it may
also help to calm anxiety, balance mood,
build vital energy, stimulate immunity, relax
muscles, and ease general discomforts.*

Schisandra Berry: known to improve
mental clarity and memory and is used to
lift spirits and reduce irritability. Research
shows that in combination with Panax
ginseng, schisandra helps the body adapt
to stress and helps to tone the kidneys and
sexual organs, protect the liver, strengthen
nervous system functions, and cleanse the
blood. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting
cells from damage.*

Watkins Bio-Activator™ Blend

(black pepper, ginger, cellulase plant enzyme):
Black pepper and ginger have been used
for thousands of years to stimulate digestion
and circulation, and to enhance the
effect of medicinals in the body. Scientific
studies strongly suggest that black pepper
and ginger may help to protect and maximize
the potency of vitamins and nutrients
in the body. Cellulase plant enzyme aids in
the breakdown and digestion of herbs and
dietary constituents.*
