Ginsana offers a healthy alternative, and quick pick me up for those who want to avoid sugar, caffeine, and ephedra. I tend to burn the candles at both ends, and have been known to try for the middle as well. I know that going night after night with too little sleep is bad for me, but, like so many other Americans, I must work until I drop just to keep my head above water and care for my elderly mother. So when I wake up feeling like something the cat dragged in, I grab three Ginsanas, and take 200 mg of ubiquinol. That combination gives me an energy boost that lasts hour after hour. And the best part is that ginseng has many other health benefits, can speed healing time, boost the immune system, and may even help the body to fight off cancer.
