Sun ginseng?

Removed from article for discussion/editing if of interest. --Zefr (talk) 00:09, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sun ginseng is created from a heat processing method which increases ginsenoside components such as ginsenoside-[Rg.sub.3], -[Rk.sub.1] and -[Rg.sub.5] by steaming white ginseng at a higher temperature than red ginseng. The herb is steamed for three hours at 120 °C (248 °F). Sun ginseng has increased nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite scavenging activities compared with conventionally processed red or white versions. The increased steaming temperature produces an optimal amount of biological activity due to its ability to amplify specific ginsenosides.^{[citation needed]}

Recommended doses?

Hello - I'm not experienced enough to know or edit according to the accepted Wikipedia format for articles... but I can tell when there is information missing that I might be looking for which could / would be of interest to others. In this case, there is nothing in this article about doses - recommended, excessive or overdosages. This information is of special importance for supplements where the FDA usually has not posted any helpful guidance for researchers & potential users. Anyone with more knowledge & experience want to step up?

Cheers,

effects of consuming

while i wont ask for the usual marketing blah-blah about what it is supposed to do to its consumers - like anecdotic evidence: "there lived once a man who was taking it daily and had his blindness cured by it", nevertheless it would be nice to find a paragraph describing the generic notion experienced by people who consume it, i mean something in the lines of a description that could be given for coffee, tea, chocholate, etc(*). so this would be something less than a claim for specific medically significant effects, yet more informative than just merely passing on the information that in a scientific-medical sense no useful effect is proven as yet.(80.98.114.70 (talk) 12:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)). (*):or tobacco, or chilli pepper, or garlic, or cinnamon. (80.98.114.70 (talk) 12:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)).[reply]

Good article but with traditional uses, it needs modern uses, in cooking for instance. -- Warfreak 09:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
