Research data and clinical practice suggest that if people start to eat ginseng sustainably in a long-term when they start to enter middle-age, then besides improving the body strength and energy, ginseng can also delay the arrival of the aging effects. "Aging" is commonly being expressed as skin loosening and start to have wrinkles, body fitness declines, getting sick more frequently or getting more chronic diseases etc.. Canadian ginseng can prevents early aging of the skin, improves one's immune system, and help treat a lot of chronic diseases, thus have an anti-aging effect.

Ginseng can nourish skin and prevents early aging of the skin which causes wrinkles.

Skin is the outermost layer of the human body, it also plays an important immunity role in protecting the body by acting as a natural barrier against the invasion of pathogens and diseases from the outside world. 

From the day of birth to death, the skin is constantly undergoing metabolism, new skin tissues age, fall-off and regenerates everyday. Our skin is in constant contact with UV radiation from the sun, which reacts with oxygen and produce oxygen free-radicals. Oxygen free-radicals is very active in nature, they can undergo oxidation reaction with almost any body tissue, including proteins, membranes and DNA, and rendering them dysfunctional. In the long-term, when the damage is beyond repair, these series of oxidation process is the main cause of aging. "Skin-aging" is an example.

North American ginseng contains various essential amino acids and many trace elements that human body needs. These amino acids can boost the synthesis of many nucleic acids and proteins, and the trace elements are active elements of all types of enzymes, which are extremely important for the body's metabolism. Thus ginseng can act as an antioxidant and slows-down the process of skin-aging by greatly increasing the quantity and activity of anti-oxidant enzymes in the body. When these anti-oxidant enzymes in the blood runs through the blood vessels and capillaries in the skin, they can quickly remove oxygen free-radicals among the skin tissues before these free-radicals can do any damage to our cells. Ginseng's amino acids can also provide abundant supply of base raw materials for skin regeneration. As we age, our body's metabolism slows down, ginseng can help promote blood circulation, which in turn can help to regain degenerated skin metabolism to a normal rate. When skin regeneration rate is at optimum level, our skin would appears relatively young and less wrinkles would appear.

Modern weight-loss techniques usually requires obese people to minimize calories intake by following strict diet and exercise more to loss more calories, but not everyone can remain commited to this method for an extended period of time, plus this method may not be suitable for every single obese people too. Another popular approach that people try to lose weight is by having an imbalanced nutrition diet, such as eating meat only and no carbohydrates at all, but this method, which interfers and exploits our body's chemistry to force weight loss, is unhealthy. This dietary concept not only is in contrary to the health philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, but the weight lost is also easily rebound when diet is stopped.

Obesity is mainly caused by disruption in normal endocrine functions, imbalance nutrition, or eating too much. It is a major obstacle to human health because it predisposes individuals to various diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. In modern city life, many people are always under stress, seat for a long time and doing few fitness exercises, eat irrigularly and have bad eating habits like eating high sugar/ high salt/ high fat content foods, all these can lead to endocrine disorders and obesity. In addition, women who just gave birth, or who take birth-control pills for a prolonged period of time, are also at higher risk of having endocrine disorder, and prone to become obese more easily. 

North American ginseng contains ginsenosides and a large variety of trace elements, which can help regulate endrocrine level and balance the nutrients of the body. This can produce a good weight-loss effect for a majority of obese people, and without the side-effects of other weight-loss drugs. 

Modern science suggests there are 2 types of facial patches and dark-spots, one is pigmentation spots caused by melanin deposition on the face; the other is caused by excess oxygen free-radicals in the body, these free-radicals undergo oxidation reaction with face fat tissues, and forms brown pigments which deposited on the face.

Endocrine disorder can cause both an increase level of free-radicals in the body and melanin deposition on the face. The build-up of facial patches and dark-spots happens especially on women during adlescence, pregnancy and after giving birth. This is because sex hormones of women during these periods are undergoing drastic change, thus more prone to have endocrine disorder, therefore facial spots often develop on these women.

Unlike other western medication which may have side-effects and can only temporary get rid of dark spots on the face, North American ginseng has the effect of correcting endocrine disorders, thus curing the root causes of the problem which lead to the formation of facial dark-spots, so its effect is also persistant.
