Are You Stressed? Have the Losses Been Piling Up?
It's the moment you've been waiting for...
the last piece to the puzzle.
It's time for the final ingredient in the "Stress Less for Poker Success" formula.
However, this one is going to be a little different.
It's not going to follow the same format as before.
Why? Because, I don't want to bet my reputation on this ingredient.
Not because I don't believe it works, but because of the dietary supplement industry's greed.
The final ingredient is..
..
Ginseng.
I'm sure you remember the Ginseng/Ginko craze a couple years ago.
These two herbals were supposed to rid the world of idiocy.
They made it to a place where very herbals have ever seen: the mainstream media.
After the mainstream media got a hold of these two herbals, their popularity exploded.
I had 3 or 4 people every day come in looking for ginko or ginseng.
It was crazy.
However, like most things, where there's good, there's also bad.
The market quickly flooded with low quality, knock-off products from people who were looking to get rich quick.
These products quickly diluted the high quality ones, making it almost impossible to find one that works.
Needle in a haystack while blind-folded comes to mind.
Quickly the tide turned, and both herbals lost their popularity.
The consumer didn't stand a chance.
Heck, even the medical professionals had a hard time trying to figure out what was what.
One study would show a cognitive enhancing effect.
Then the following month, another study, completed the exact same way, show absolutely no benefit.
No one could agree on anything except standardization and quality are extremely important.
That's why I'm labeling this supplement: try at your own risk.
I still don't know if there's been any improvement in the quality of ginseng products available.
It's truly a shame because it does work.
I've read the studies that have shown benefit.
I've also read the studies that haven't shown benefit.
In my opinion, ginseng works.
You just have to find the right type.
There's too many different species, too many different dosages, too many different everything to make any kind of valid conclusion.
American ginseng has been shown to reduce fasting plasma glucose levels and HbA1c levels in diabetic patients in multiple clinical trials.
This is a great benefit to have especially if you have erratic blood glucose levels..
See energy drink article.
Panax ginseng has been shown to improve cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's, young, healthy patients, and rats.
Some of the studies are actually very convincing.
Pananx ginseng has also been shown to relieve chronic stress through multiple mechanisms.
Several studies have proven this, especially a very good one in rats that I'll post later.
In fact, the Chinese have used it for treating mental and physical fatigue for hundreds of years.
The evidence is overwhelming at times.
However, for every study that's shown benefit, there's one that doesn't show anything.
That's the dilemma.
Like I said earlier, though I honestly believe ginseng does work, especially for chronic stress.
However, you have to find one that works for you and you have to stick with it for awhile.
I personally haven't had any luck.
However, I know a fair amount of people that absolutely love ginseng, and swear by it.
It's a gamble that I'm sure you'll look into..
So there you have it.
That's the "Stress Less for Poker Success" formula.
Watch your game dramatically improve as all the stresses of poker are swept away by my concoction.
Make sure to let me know if you use any of the ingredients I've recommended.
Good or bad...
