Pharmacodynamics

The active ingredient in ginseng is panaxosides (glycosides of the triterpene type). The stimulating effect exerted by the ginseng root extract is caused by the activation of the binding of nuclear hepatic RNA polymerases, protein DNA and lipids within bone marrow cells, and in addition to this, an increase in adrenal cAMP parameters and potentiation of the severity of general metabolism. The action of the plant's galenic substances potentiates the excitation inside the neurons of the cerebral cortex, improving the reflex activity of the brain.

Ginseng root extract increases work capacity and relieves stress and exercise-related fatigue. The drug has a positive effect on the work of the cardiovascular system, stabilizes blood pressure and lowers blood glucose values in the case of diabetes. [2]

The action of the complex, which includes minerals and vitamins with trace elements, is associated with specific activity and participation in metabolism. Gerimax affects enzyme activity, thereby activating metabolic processes within the body, helps to stabilize the balance of oxidation-reduction and improve the supply of energy to the body. [3]
