Effects of Wild Ginseng Extract on Exercise Performance, Cognitive Function, and Fatigue Recovery Using College Students: a Randomized Cross-Over, Placebo-Controlled, and Double-Blind Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Wild ginseng extract and Placebo for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial was to learn if Wild Ginseng extract (WG) influences exercise performance, cognitive function, and fatigue recovery from the exercise. The main questions to answer were: * Does WG improve exercise performance? * Does WG improve cognitive function? * Does WG facilitate recovery from the exercise? The investigators will compare WG to a Placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no substance) to see if WG works. Participants will: * Take WG or a Placebo every day for 7 days with a 2-week wash-out (It is a specific time frame. During this time, certain substances are removed from the body). * Visit the laboratory a total of five times for the tests, including one pre-familiarization (to be familiar with the exercise and other procedures)

Interventions
This ginseng extract was manufactured and provided by the Korea Food Research Institute (sponsor). It is extracted from red ginseng. Red ginseng is generally considered to have greater biological effects and fewer side effects than white or fresh ginseng.
The placebo utilized in the study consisted of the same ingredients as the treatment drink, with the exception of 0.25% Korean wild Ginseng Extract. This was achieved by incor-porating 0.25% scented ginseng and 0.06% caramel coloring
