Abstract

Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) has long been used not only as a food supplement but also as a treatment for various diseases. Ginseng originated in South Korea, which later spread to China and Japan, has a wide range of pharmacological activities including immune, endocrine, cardiovascular, and central nervous system effects. KRG is produced by repetitions of steaming and drying of ginseng to extend preservation. During this steaming process, the components of ginseng undergo physio-chemical changes forming a variety of potential active constituents including ginsenoside-Rg3, a unique compound in KRG. Pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has affected both men and women differentially. In particular, women were more vulnerable to COVID-related distress which in turn could aggravate menopause-related disturbances. Complementary and alternative medicinal plants could have aided middle-aged women for several menopause-related symptoms during and post COVID-19 pandemic. This review aimed to explore the beneficial effects of KRG on menopausal symptoms and gynecological cancer.

人参对更年期的潜在益处

长期以来，高丽红参（KRG）不仅被用作食品补充剂，还被用来治疗各种疾病。人参起源于韩国，后来传播到中国和日本，具有广泛的药理作用，包括免疫、内分泌、心血管和中枢神经系统作用。KRG 是通过反复蒸煮和干燥人参来延长保存时间的。在蒸制过程中，人参的成分会发生物理化学变化，形成多种潜在的活性成分，包括人参皂苷-Rg3，这是 KRG 中的一种独特化合物。2019 年流行性冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对男性和女性的影响各不相同。特别是，女性更容易受到与 COVID 相关的困扰，这反过来又会加重与更年期相关的困扰。在 COVID-19 大流行期间和之后，补充和替代药用植物可以帮助中年女性缓解一些与更年期有关的症状。本综述旨在探讨 KRG 对更年期症状和妇科癌症的有益影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Ginseng Research (JGR) is an official, open access journal of the Korean Society of Ginseng and is the only international journal publishing scholarly reports on ginseng research in the world. The journal is a bimonthly peer-reviewed publication featuring high-quality studies related to basic, pre-clinical, and clinical researches on ginseng to reflect recent progresses in ginseng research. JGR publishes papers, either experimental or theoretical, that advance our understanding of ginseng science, including plant sciences, biology, chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, manufacture, and clinical study of ginseng since 1976. It also includes the new paradigm of integrative research, covering alternative medicinal approaches. Article types considered for publication include review articles, original research articles, and brief reports. JGR helps researchers to understand mechanisms for traditional efficacy of ginseng and to put their clinical evidence together. It provides balanced information on basic science and clinical applications to researchers, manufacturers, practitioners, teachers, scholars, and medical doctors.
