Panax Ginseng Overview
Panax ginseng is commonly referred to as 'Asian ginseng' and is not to be confused with 'American Ginseng'. It is a slow-growing plant native to eastern Asia and has been used for a variety of purposes, including to boost energy and improve overall health. The root of the Panax ginseng plant is the part that is typically used in medicine. Panax ginseng is often classified as an 'adaptogen', which is theorized to help the body adapt to stress, both physical and psychological.
Belzutifan Overview
-
Belzutifan is used in adults with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL; a rare disease that causes tumors and cysts) to treat renal cell carcinoma (RCC; kidney cancer), central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastomas (tumors in the brain and spinal cord), and a certain type of pancreatic cancer that does not require surgery right away. Belzutifan is in a class of medications called hypoxia-inducible factor inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of a certain protein in people with VHL.
