hey guys,

What do you think about panax ginseng?

The most important thing i need to know about it, does it increase or decrease cortisol ???

At some websites they say its an adaptogenic and it will decrease cortisol if its too high and it will increase it if its too low, other websites only state that it actually increases it in non diabetic persons and that it increase ACTH = increased cortisol ...im confused.

at wikipedia the article says that its adaptogenic properties kick in after 2-4 weeks, does it take that long to start regulating the HPA ?? does it regulate it if it is out of whack or does it increase the production of corticosteroids at all times??

I need details about this guys, thanks in advance.
