Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B has a seemingly endless supply of energy, but just like Us, she gets tired.
“So lately, I don’t know if it’s because I’m only five months postpartum, I don’t know if it’s because I’m 32 and I’m just tired . . . but I’d be so sleepy . . . and coffee, it doesn’t really keep me up,” she said in a recent video.
In pursuit of a coffee alternative, Cardi B came across a Korean red ginseng supplement that she says keeps her awake and boosts immunity. She continued in the video, “[It] changes your life,” adding: “This? It’s been keeping me wired! It’s been helping me with fatigue . . . and also my immune system.”
We did some investigating and found the supplement sticks she’s referring to are from the brand Jung Kwan Jang, and they’re sold on Amazon. Not only do they fight fatigue better than coffee, but they’re also much cheaper than a latte!
“I don’t know where these [Korean brands] find these herbs . . . but they just got it right,” she added.
Ginseng is the superstar ingredient in these sticks; the antioxidant-rich herb is known to boost energy, manage blood sugar levels, support the immune system and improve cognitive function — just like Cardi B suspected.
With more focus, less fatigue and a stronger immune system, Ginseng helps you stay active around the clock, whether you’re driving kids to and from sports practices or flying between Miami and New York City like Cardi B. The convenient sticks fit perfectly in backpacks, gym duffels, purses and work bags, so there’s no excuse for being tired!
The lemon flavor Cardi B uses has a mild 1,050 milligrams of red ginseng extract, but the brand has sticks with up to 3,000 milligrams that are safe to take daily. You’ll feel the benefits no matter the flavor, which span lemon, grapefruit, honey and an unflavored option.
Cardi B isn’t the only one who swears by these sticks. Hundreds of reviewers agree, calling it “a healthy pick me up,” “perfect for boosting energy” and a “great substitute” for energy drinks. Some even mix it with water to dilute the ginseng flavor and still enjoy the benefits!
