Ashwagandha vs Ginseng (Video Outline)
Ashwagandha and Panax Ginseng are two of the most popular herbs on the planet and for good reason. They belong to a very specific class of herbal compounds known as a adaptogens that help the body deal with stress. They also seam to be two of the more potent adaptogens with significant amounts of studies to back their effects.

Panax ginseng is WAY BETTER for mood and energy and overall well being . Ashwaganda also has been known to cause anhedonia in people in which panax ginseng definitely will not.
How long does it take to notice improvement in energy from taking panax ginseng?
@@rendiewmit86 pretty quickly, I quit using it. I stopped using it because it is a natural 5 AR inhibitor
what about combing them both
Thanks Zack! I seriously appreciate all of your work. I had a medical issue last year that has compromised my testosterone levels and truth be told, I have used your channel almost exclusively to get me somewhat back to normal. Don't get me wrong, I still have quite the journey ahead of me, but good gravy has all of your research made a difference this last year. For real buddy! Thanks so much for everything!!!
No problem man! I’m glad things are getting better. Glad to hear this is helping!
Another great one is Vanadyl sulfate - been using it for decades for bodybuilding … great hard burning pumps … it’s has something to do with increasing the ability to absorb insulin …or something like that
So if ginseng is inhibiting the conversation of DHT does that mean it's slowing down DHT related hair loss? That would be a interesting effect.
This has been looked at in some studies and it appears that it MAY slow down hair loss.
@@NutritionLibrary Then thats actually A GOOD THING!
@@HEADBANGRRAnd stop erections
Please don’t stop posting! 🔥🔥
Yes sir
Asjust you light so there's a little more warmth and light on your face. Also, ideally add some interest in the right side of frame. In general, the moody lighting looks great!
Will do! Thanks for saying something
I love darkness so leave the room as it is, it's perfect
Wait ginseng increases testosterone but reduces DHT? I just googled what reduced DHT does in the body and it spoke of having less erections and reduced muscle mass (basically all same negative effects as Low T). But I thought DHT and testosterone were nearly the same thing?? Does that mean I should stop consuming Ginseng. I had formed a routine on it but this is scaring me now 😭😭
In researching ashwagandha due to wanting to temper some of the undersirable effects, it seems that a full spectrum version may be better toleratated than the patented extracts. With such a potent substance a version with built in "buffers" makes good sense.
These are the 2 herbs that I take. Excited to hear what you found about these 🔥🔥🔥
They are a good combo!
Panax ginseng helps me feel ejaculation better. Is that because it's stimulating and the mind is more aware of it?
Ginseng increases ejaculate volume lol
I just got ginseng today and took my first dose of ginseng ever I can tell you one thing it works really well with THC
I used to do that too and it used to make me really h*rny lol but I coulda sworn I read somewhere that it can cause psychosis. And to be honest, I would believe it. I have stopped taking ginseng and no longer smoke/vape/edibles and I can say I felt a little unstable at that time I was indulging with the two.
@@Onlyrealmusic4life If you take ginseng extract wihout other products and not in excessive quantity (as everything) there isn't really side effects. It's we*d that fuck your brain lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What do you think about using both? For example ashwaganda 4 days a week and ginseng 3 days a week. That way we don’t build tolerance and get the best of both worlds.
Perfect
I think Ashwagandha is different from Panax Ginseng, because both works great but in different levels.... For Anxiety and stress I thi k Aswaghanda is Better, but if your suffer depresión I thing Gi seng is Better.
I was going to ask this. salute.
what if someone take both ashwagandha and ginseng?
what happen then? it's okay to take both at the same time?
So I take Panax ginseng in morning and Ashwaganda in afternoon, 4 weeks on and 1 week off. Do you think that’s ok 👍🏻
Did you see any effect
I do the same! 300mg 1:10 panax ginseng extract from myprotein. and 1gr of ksm ashwaganda.
got soms heavy adhd and this helps alot but im kinda New in nootropics. Am i overdoing by stacking these?
No your not over doing it, there’s plenty out there to try, what ever works for you. I like rhodiola rosea and l-theanine as well just cycle off them every couple months
@@Cryptorockets thanks for the response! Nice to hear.
@@Cryptorockets still doing the ginseng in the morning and the ashwaganda in the evening?
Can you cycle between them to avoid tolerance, e.g. one week ashwaghanda one week ginseng, and could the same be done with other adaptogenic herbs
I love ashwagandha . Life saver.
You love horse smell ?
Maybe someone will know, can we safely take ashwagandha and panax ginseng at the same time ? And can both of those be taken with tongkat ali and maca root ?
i’ve been taking ashwagandha, panay ginseng, maca root, and black seed oil everyday in the morning routinely
Great content, I would like to know more about Hibiscus, I know it is great for blood pressure and has a lot of antioxidant but there are some toxicity concerns, in particular on male reproductive apparatus, but it's not clear how much is too much.
I’m not super familiar with hibiscus beyond it’s use as a tea. I would stay away though if there is any indication that it harms the reproductive system.
I really appreciate your videos mate please continue. Stay safe and God bless
Thanks man. Glad you enjoy
What are your thoughts on Fenugreek, It states it increase male libido. As well as Nitric Oxide
Interested to hear a reply to this
Well I've tried them both, Nitric Oxide I take almost all the time for gym but Fenugreek is ok. I don't think they are big difference honestly.
Sub here 😎. Question for ya - can these be taken together? What format is better, pills or tinctures or?
nope - saying that most individuals tends to be more on the depression or anxiety side is a false assumption, it is the same as assuming everybody is unhappy. Ashwa-gandha the horse smell herb can cause drowsiness (laziness) in some individuals (including myself), better off with marijuana 😆
Great content. Subscribed. Any advice on supplementation for reducing/reversing pubertal gynecomastia? I’m trying my best to avoid the invasive approach of surgery, any advice would be great!
Mucuna Pruriens and Tongkat Ali
@@NutritionLibrary Thanks man really appreciate it, will definitely give it a shot.
@zahir pakar, how was the effectiveness?. Did you get to rehearse gynacomastia. Am 20 and it hasn't gone away either
@@KennethKoronya77 it reduced it slightly but difficult to tell due to having high enough body fat. My advice is work on reducing your body fat down to 15-18% maintaining a healthy diet and lifting heavy weights
How about the Pine Bark Extract uses ??
Ashwaganda mixed with cinnamon, raw cacao and warm unsweetened almond milk is delicious before bedtime to help relax before sleep. I also add holy basil
Sounds extremely tasty.
How do you heat up almond milk/ dairy milk
@@jermainemason3352 in a cup in the microwave or in a sauce pan over a low heat for a few minutes. The same way you heat animal milk
Has anyone stacked the two..maybe use Ashawaganda in the AM and Ginseng in the PM..or cycle like 2-3 months alternating the two herbs?
What about taking both of these each day?
Which supplement do u recommend for PE?
I took Korean Red Ginseng a few days ago for my ADHD and it's incredible. I'm utterly shocked by the level of calm and persistent energy it gives me. I don't need coffee anymore.
Can both be taken togathèr
Please let me know if i take them both . Is it oK?
Do one on jiaogulan.
can you do a video on black seed oil, or just let me know your thoughts?
The research is in its infancy. But it looks healthy and many people swear by it. I’ve never experienced anything life changing with it, but it seams to especially help those that are overweight
@@NutritionLibrary thanks for replying!
Hi
Thank you for your video.
can you mix the two together? If so, can they be taken together at the same time or separate?
Also, what dosage for Ashwaghnda per day to be effective? Thank you .
@Matar Paneer I use tablets 500mg, any good? KMS66
Hello, I bought it Aswaghanda in powder, And the dosis is 3 to 6 grms for day.... I taken with worm water and honey, the flavor is ok.... But really works, it helps me for a period of ansiety and stress.
Very Nice bro but what about rhodiola rosea dou You have some vídeo of that herb? Thanks
I do! Check it out!
@@NutritionLibrary ok wich one
The volume is too low
Two scoops of pre workout and 2 Ginseng capsules helped me to break my PR at the gym. So, personally I know it works. 💪🏻
It's a little challenging for me to believe and follow the topic if it is sponsored, not sure how much is true, I do like your channel and subscribed. I'd like to get to know more about Ashwaganda and when do you take it. Also can do you a research video on Artichoke extract and forskolin, have you heard of their benefits? (not sponsored please) :-)
Hey! Thanks for saying something. I can assure you that none of my content is influenced by my sponsors.
Perhaps some Ginseng is in order here 🤔
You could a ashwagandha VS bacopa Monnieri. Thanks for this video.
I dont feel any difference from Bacopa ...when and why do you use it?
my pituitary gland doesn’t work that well because of a tumor what would you recommend for this? my hormones are out of balance I think that ashwaghanda stimulates the gland to produce more testosterone but for me my gland doesn’t work
Is your prolactin hormone above the normal range? If that's the case then you can use mucuna pruriens that increases dopmain which in turn will decrease prolactin. But read about the topic at first, watch a video about this herb at this channel and finally there are specific drugs for solving that issue or surgeries. Ask your doctor and don't neglect the issue.
Yeah it’s hard to say without knowing what type of tumor and what glands were effected. Generally anything that can suppress prolactin and increase GnRH, LH, and FSH are going to be your best bet though. Mucuna Pruriens, Ashwagandha, ginger, maybe Tongkat Ali. It’s hard to say
300mg 1:10 panax ginseng extract from myprotein. and 1gr of ksm ashwaganda.
got soms heavy adhd and this helps alot but im kinda New in nootropics. Am i overdoing by stacking these?
A gram of KSM is a pretty heft dose. Maybe dial it back if you are looking to take it long term.
@@NutritionLibrary thanks for the advice! Good to know.. i will try 500mg then. See how it feels in about a month.
Ps found your channel today and i subscribed immediately!
Good stuff, thanks a lot!!!
Is panax ginseng a stimulant ? I just got it in a t booster supplement
because ginseng inhibits 5a-reductase, does that mean its also good for male pattern baldness?
It could be
When using Ashwagandha, should I take a break from using it. What I mean is, would it to good to use ashwagandha for, let's say a month and then stop using ashwagandha for let's say about two weeks? Please let me know thank you!
You should look at his previous vids. He explains everything you're asking. Hope that helps.
I use it 4 times per week and 3 days off.. that way i never build tolerance and can use all the time
Yeah m so I typically recommend that once you have taken it for 3 months to take 3 weeks off and then start doing micro cycles of like 2-5 days on followed by 2- 5 days off. It’s not an exact science so it’s best to find a rhythm that fits your life
Great content. Just subscribed.
How to know if ginseng I am taking is not fake ?
Wish one could you recommend for psychosis please thank you
Korean ginseng helped me with my erections. I have suffered for years with poor erection quality which I attribute to a beta-blocker I used(beta-sitosterol), which blocks DHT, so I assume it's similar to people who suffer from finasteride use. It made me insanely hard and helped me get excited without physical stimulation, just sexual thoughts alone. But the downside was it gave me REALLY puffy nipples. So badly that I have stopped and haven't used it consistently in over a year and a half. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I wish I could have kept using it but every time I try, I see the difference in my chest almost immediately, sometimes even hours after.
I have been having puffy nipples since I'm a teenager (I was overweight), and now I'm 27 and my erection quality and maintaining erection isn't that great. I haven't tried ginseng yet, but for me slightly puffy nipples is something I gotten used to, so it doesn't bother me as much, although hope it won't get worse with ginseng.
Have you tried tribulus terrestris for erections?
bro keep some stuff to yourself wtf
@@tudorvoicu1434 Why? Anecdotes can be helpful
Lol
Has your puffy nipples problem reversed?
I take both daily is that a problem?
lighting is a bit off
Can I take Ashwagandah diary?
What's the best time to take both ginseng and ashwaganda? On an empty stomach like water soluble vitamins or with food like fat soluble vitamins?
Ashwaganda in the evening to relax and calm.
Gingseng during the day as it is stimulating.
All supplements should be taken during the eating window (if you practice intermittent fasting, then make sure you time them for once you break your fast. I do OMAD so have post meal)
Yeah ash in the evening a few hours before bed (maybe at lunch if you prefer). And ginseng during the beginning of the day. If you take it an extract you can take it with food or on empty stomach. Taking on empty stomach will be more noticeable. But it will last longer if taken with food
Any thoughts on moringa, holy basil and amula?
Moringa seams healthy but I don’t personally take it. Amula is healthy but a potent 5 alpha reductase inhibitor. And holy basil may be androgenic but can also negatively effect fertility
@@NutritionLibrary please remind me..n what are the implications of 5 alpha reductase inhibitors?
Also please can you delve into the specific benefits of moringa in a future video?
Do a video on moringa powder and can we take moringa along with ashwagandha
As far as I am aware there are no negative interactions
@@NutritionLibrary does it really work?
Since heightened levels of DHT contribute to prostate enlargement, I wonder if Ginseng might be a better bet for senior men wanting to avoid the need for a TURP.
Please make a video about 5htp
2 days ago I took 3g of ashwagandha and woke up the following morning with my whole body aching, sweats and my throat felt like it had swelled a bit, It felt like a had the flu. After waking up this morning I feel a lot better, What’s your thoughts on this? Do you think I should stop talking ash or will I be ok with a low dose?
Stop taking it
you've had hyperthyroidism that's why your neck feels that it swells. Ashwagandha definitely helped with your hyperthyroidism since the day after swelling and taking ashwagandha it helped relieve you.
3 grams is what kicked your ass dude , sheesh
@@radicalizedonline6825 ikr. doses are 250-500mg and only mega-dose if you know what you're doing. Ash is very strong.
Is it weird that ashwaganda make me feel stimulated, high energy very focused. I have to take it early in day or I’d imagine it would effect my sleep. It’s not uncomfortable, I’m someone that gets anxiety from caffeine. It doesn’t cause anxiety. Kind of feels like L Theanine and caffeine mix. Only been taking it for about a week now... 300 mg Jarrow’s ksm 66
I was taking the sensoril and then started KSM-66 and the same thing happened to me within the first few days. It is the most energy and focus I have felt for a while! It may be due to the decrease in stress and anxiety as it has drained me this past month however with the sensoril it chilled me out more whilst KSM is the opposite
Testosterone. I have taken ashw for 6 years for sleep (didn't know I had to cycle or about the testosterone etc), can you suggest herbs to balance the testosterone please?
Thanks
ash, tongkat ali, shilajit are your best bet
tong kat is the sheeeeet when it comes to testosterone imo
amazing on work out days
Bro make a detailed video on genetics and its influence on dopamine height body building intellect everything
Just had 2 spoons of Ashwagandha today. All my stress gone
please make avid on best anti cancer herbs
CZcams would not like me if did that
@@NutritionLibrary damn tyrants
Please, talk about Stinging Nettle.
I will!
L theanine, ashwaganda, ginseng and caffeine..try a balance.
Can you take ashwagandha and panax ginseng at the same time?
yes. they combine well together. Panax in the morning and Ash in the afternoon/evening
If you wanted to take both of these supplements what dosages would you suggest?
@NutritionLibrary I have a supplement that has both in the ingredients though
Ashwagandha and sickle
cell?
Not my area of expertise
Do we cycle ginseng? Do we have to
Yes. Some research suggests that maximal benefit is only experienced during the first 2 weeks of supplementation. After this, a few days off would be appropriate. You can also implement micro cycles of course.
@@NutritionLibrary How about I take it for 3-4weeks, then a week off?
Subscribed … good vids !! have you done one on Yohimbe ?…
What if you take both ?
you can!
Ashwagandha vs Tongkat Ali PLZ!!!
both lol But if you have to choose, Ashwagandha is going to be a bigger hitter
I take Raw Ashwaghanda and American Ginseng.
Make vdo on shilajit
TY.

I heard it can damage the liver
Thank you Zach! I bought horny goat weed that has ginseng! In it
Ashwagandha demotivate me. It sux :(
yeah. This is why its important to take consistent breaks.
@@NutritionLibrary it demotivate me after first dose. Its just ashwadangha side effect.... Many people got it. Nobody talks about it....
can I 16 year old consume any two of these or both of these herbs? please reply
It is usually best to wait till you are a little older but you can if you want
