Our assessment
The evidence shows that American Ginseng is a traditional herbal supplement, but the specific data provided here is for the mineral Calcium, not ginseng. Based strictly on the data we have, any health claims for this product must be supported by the calcium content listed on the label. Calcium is essential for bone density and muscle function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
