Can white ginseng boost blood flow? new trial investigates
NCT ID NCT07643532
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a white ginseng extract called KoreaGinseng F Max can improve blood circulation in adults with poor peripheral blood flow. One hundred participants aged 20 to 65 with high platelet aggregation take either the ginseng supplement or a placebo for 8 weeks. Researchers measure changes in blood clotting, lipids, and other markers to see if the supplement helps blood move better through the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- white ginseng extract (KoreaGinseng F Max)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this ginseng supplement could offer a natural option to improve blood circulation and reduce clotting risk in people with poor peripheral blood flow.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement may not outperform placebo, and individual responses can vary.
