Most working people are at the risk of stress, with some having higher predisposition than others, for example soldiers, engineers working on construction sites and oil rigs, call centre personnel and people engaged in high physical and mental tasking activity.
Reducing stress levels therefore helps people to feel better, and also boost protection from other ailments.
The World Health Organisation defines stress as “the reaction people may have when presented with demands and pressures that are not matched to their knowledge and abilities and which challenge their ability to cope”.
Stress makes  people depressed, dizzy, suffer from fatigue and reduction in the function of vital organs in the body including the brain, says, Pharmacist Chukwuka Williams Kaycee.
The pharmacist says however, there is a supplement with three components that help relieve stress and other ailments. The supplement called Ginklat and manufactured by Klat Pharmaceutical Company Nigeria Limited is made of Ginseng, Zinc and Vitamin E.
According to him, the basic component that helps improve stress level in Ginklat is Ginseng. “Ginseng , a herb with Asian origins works by regulating the release of Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a steroid  which is produced in the adrenal gland.  So the less you have steroid in your blood, the harder it is for your body to respond to stress. What ginseng basically does is to reduce this adrenal steroid in the body.”
He said the supplement is a super antioxidant too because of zinc which also helps with stress and promotes brain health, while the Vitamin E component helps with blood circulation, prevents heart diseases and diabetes, and most specially helps with premenstrual syndrome.
He explained that the Vitamin E in the supplement helps relief menstrual cramps and other premenstrual symptoms when taken before the onset of menstruation.
Chief Executive Officer, Klat Pharmaceuticals Company Limited, Emmanuel Oluoha said the supplement can be bought over the counter and it is for adults only but not pregnant women.
He added that many doctors are now prescribing Ginklat which is made from rare Korean ginseng for patients during hospital visits, because of the observed  benefits especially for erectile dysfunction, fertility and improvement of  stamina level among others.
“Erectile dysfunction or impotence, is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection for satisfactory sexual activity. Several studies have revealed that 60% of men who took ginseng noticed improvement in erectile dysfunction symptoms, and that is one of the components of Ginklat,” he said.
