I am planning to take ginseng capsules to improve immunity and to get energy. (" Zenith Nutrition Ginseng 500 mg). But I could see in an Internet that it is a kind of drug and will have severe side effects if we take. Is it advisable to take ginseng tablets? If so why doctors are not suggesting this anywhere for their patients?
