Thai ginseng (Kaempferia parviflora) root is a unique SE Asian botanical that is used for antioxidant support. Thai ginseng contains a powerful antioxidant compound called 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, that helps to support metabolism and aging through improved cellular energy production, improved blood glucose/insulin control and weight management, improved physical performance,and improved neurological/cognitive support. Thai ginseng has SIRT-1 upregulation activity that is 4-5x stronger than resveratrol.

Thai ginseng is reported to :

• Antiaging activity – the 5,7 DMF polymethoxyflavones are 3-4x more powerful than resveratrol at SIRT-1 regulation, AMPK upregualtion
• Improve mitochondrial function and biogenesis, improves energy production
• Improve blood glucose and insulin regulatlin – PPAR gamma upregulation, GLUT 4 regulation, SIRT1 regulation; downregulates AGEs (advanced glycation end products)
• Improve body weight management – upregulates UCP1 brown tissue thermogenesis
• Antiinflammatory/antioxidant activity– increases SOD, catalase, glutathione
• Support performance and exercise recovery; supports muscle strength and metabolism
• Neurological support – neuroprotection from glutamate excitotoxicity; decreases microglial activation and neuroinflammation
• Reproductive support – inhibits PDE-5, improves blood flow to penis; increased virility
• Antiviral activity – SIRT1
