Efficacy of Glyconutrients as an Alternative Medicine According to GRADE* Ranking [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: 

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.

Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that ginseng helps to treat dyspepsia, breast cancer, erectile dysfunction, stress, anxiety or hyperglycemia. More studies are needed)

Grade of Evidence: Low level of evidence
