Korean researchers are suggesting that Korean Red Ginseng may have a preventive effect on type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have found that the ginseng has BG-lowering qualities. In a study involving 10-week-old male rats in a “pre-diabetic stage,” 200 mg/kg of Korean Red Ginseng extract were given for 40 weeks. Body weight and peritoneal fat mass were significantly decreased in the Korean Red Ginseng-treated rats. Glucose, A1C, total cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid were significant decreased.
