Over 8 weeks, an unspecified number of adults with a history of cancer-related fatigue received American ginseng in doses of 750, 1,000, or 2,000 mg\/day or a placebo in twice daily dosing. At the end of the study, it turned out that twice as many patients on ginseng perceived a benefit, as compared to those on placebo. The authors concluded that American ginseng seems to be effective against cancer-related fatigue at doses of 1,000\u20132,000 mg\/day.
