All the supplements you listed are generally safe in reasonable amounts. Though I’d add each one individually and decide if you like the effects.

I use Panax Ginseng GS15-4. This has some clinical evidence behind it,is easily digested, etc.

Regarding Ginseng?

Not to push a product/retailer, but just go to ND’s site, but a few different varieties and give them a try.

I didn’t really notice much difference between them really.

Afaik, panax is generally more potent^[1][2], but red ginseng has more anti-oxidative effects and more peculiarities with Compound K metabolism^[3]

 

I actually like red ginseng because it is more mild. Interestingly, Rg3 may explain GABA-A antagonist effects^[4] and it is more pronounced in Red Ginseng, while Rc regulates the GABA-B antagonist effects^[5] and is more pronounced in Panax.

 

Both of them have mitochondrial protecting, glutamate regulating effects. Red ginseng is generally more helpful to the liver, and Rg3 may have antidepressant effects through the microglia^[6]

I don’t know how you manage to handle ginseng over the medium term. The GABA-antagonism gives me this constant wired anxiety. One-off or sporadic doses are interesting though.

Yeah i don't take ginseng that regularly. Twice a week is generous, more like twice a month.

Maybe when i want to be productive, or feel recharged the next day. But it doesn't do much for me

 

Yes there is a GABA antagonist effect, but isn't it just short-term? So don't take it before social situations, instead go for 100-150mg Magnesium. But you can take it at night or in low pressure situations though, for GABA receptor up-regulation?

 

I would like to see more field reports on this, people with Protracted Benzo Withdrawal, people with social anxiety, normal people trying all different dosing schedules and situations. I doubt you would see something so simple as, magnesium good ginseng bad. Ginkgo also has supposed GABA antagonist effects, i think GABA-A specific (?), so that could be interesting as well. But we should ideally look at the binding affinity and  pharmacokinetics, before telling people this is something worth experimenting with.

Panax ginseng gives me anxiety and makes me bleed too easily.  American and Siberian ginseng do good things for me.  Calm and clarity of thought and more resistant to the negative effects of stressful situations.  I'm not sure if those are true Ginsengs.  

 

If I want a stimulating adaptogenic, I go for Rhodiola rosea.  

 

As far as your OP questions, I would only suggest that if you notice you too bleed a lot it could be the combo of the fish oil and Panax ginseng.  If so, you might want to reduce the dose of one, both or even nix one or the other.  YMMV.

[gamesguru]

Siberian is definitely not a true ginseng. But American ginseng shares some common lineage at least.

 

Traditional ginseng also gives me a bit of speediness. I find Red ginseng is a little mellower, which is weird because I usually don't tolerate fermented foods as well

I have been taking this: https://globalhealin.../ginseng-fuzion

I like the medley of different ginseng.  It defiantly gives me a zing.

Is there any other anti aging supplments that a normal 32 year old man should take in order to have even better mental clarity and to reduce the aging effect on the brain?

Those are the three main ones likely to cause interactions, though even those appear mild and safe and are probably limited in scope to anxiety and brain fog.

 

As for other supps?  I'm a big fan of turmeric, and everyday things like magnesium.  At a certain point you have to hang a question mark on all your meticulous choices, on your stack as a whole.

 

I would hang a question mark on some things too. Acai and cacao.. don't tea and blueberries provide enough polyphenols?  Peppermint, lemon balm and the vitamins.. why exactly?  And the omega 3 can potentially be gotten through flax or hemp seeds, goes well in porridge or oatmeal.
