LCMS-Based Metabolic Analysis Explores the Effect of American Ginseng on Urine and Plasma in Healthy Individuals

November 18, 2025 updated by: baoguanai, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital

Researchers will use LCMS Metabolic Analysis to Explore the Effect of American Ginseng on Urine and Plasma in Healthy Individuals

Participants will:

  • Take 3 grams of American Ginseng powder every day for 14 days
  • Collect the fasting urine samples at the following times at the hospital: On the first day, on the 7th day after taking the medicine, and on the 14th day after taking the medicine.
  • Collect the fasting Serum samples at the following times at the hospital: On the first day and on the 14th day after taking the medicine.
  • Have their any adverse effects monitored and evaluated throughout the study.
