Isn ginseng on the “Banned Substances” list used by the Olympics and NCAA college athletics?
Ginseng has been rejected by many coaches in and out of the NCAA because it is supposedly on the “Banned Substances” list for the NCAA and the Olympics. Please refer to the web address below for a list of “Banned Substances” and notice that ginseng is not on the list. SEE WEBSITE: http://www.ncaa.org/sports_sciences/drugtesting/banned_list.html There is not enough ginseng to cause concern (XS has an adaptogenic blend of herbs that work in a cocktail, but each herb by itself is less than 10% of an effective dosage).
