red ginseng powder

Red ginseng powder, specifically the formulation TJ-3020, is a botanical product derived from the steamed and dried roots of *Panax ginseng* C.A. Meyer. It is traditionally used in East Asian medicine for its adaptogenic properties, which are primarily attributed to its concentration of ginsenosides. In clinical research, TJ-3020 has been investigated as a supportive care intervention to mitigate chemotherapy-induced fatigue and malaise in patients with advanced cancers, such as unresectable or recurrent pancreatic cancer. A Phase II randomized study (jRCTs041190040) conducted in Japan evaluated the efficacy of TJ-3020 in patients receiving nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, though the study found that the treatment did not significantly improve chemotherapy-induced fatigue or malaise compared to the control group.
