INVESTIGATING A GINSENG-BASED SUPPLEMENT ON CANCER-RELATED FATIGUE IN ADULTS WHO HAVE RECEIVED CANCER TREATMENT.
Dealing with cancer is exhausting. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of cancer as well as one of the most common side effects from cancer treatments. Cancer-related fatigue (is more than just being tired at the end of the day, it is the inability to get out of bed, the lack of motivation to do anything and just an overwhelming tiredness that affects you mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Ginseng has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginseng’s ability to prevent abnormal cell production and growth give it the potential to have anti-cancer benefits by regulating the normal cell growth cycle. Due to Ginseng’s many health benefits, it has been suggested that Ginseng may have a beneficial effect for cancer related fatigue. Previous studies, on Redsenol-1 Ginseng extract supplement, have suggested that Redsenol-1 has a role in decreasing cancer related fatigue.
In this Health Canada and Institutional Review board approved study, adults will be provided with either Redsenol-1 or Placebo. Redsenol-1 has been suggested to have a role in decreasing cancer-related fatigue in previous studies.
