Does eating red ginseng help my penis grow more than 6 inches? What does red ginseng do for a man?
Red ginseng doesn’t increase penis size. Penis size is determined by genetics, and there is nothing that will make it bigger except for risky, painful, expensive surgery that might give you a couple more centimeters in length.
There are several theories as to why red ginseng might help treat erectile dysfunction and increase penis size. More research is required to support these theories.
What is it?
Korean herbal practitioners promote ginseng as an herb for its ability to treat erectile dysfunction. Another name for red ginseng is Panax ginseng.
How does it work?
Researchers aren’t exactly sure how red ginseng reduces erectile dysfunction symptoms.
One theory is that it influences hormones responsible for achieving an erection. Another is that it promotes blood flow by increasing the amount of nitric oxide.
Research?
A 2008 review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that red ginseng was often more effective than placebo when reducing ED symptoms.
However, human studies usually have a small sample size, which makes it difficult for researchers to draw firm conclusions on the benefits of red ginseng.
Side effects?
Taking red ginseng can cause insomnia. However, researchers largely regard it as safe when taken on a short-term basis.
