Abstract Summary
Korean medical databases reveal 30 trials testing ginseng for conditions from erectile dysfunction to cancer, plus cognitive and exercise performance in healthy adults. While ginseng appears safe with no serious side effects reported, poor study quality limits clinical evidence. This review makes previously inaccessible Korean-language research available to global researchers.
