Ginseng? Jinsang is a common misspelling of ginseng.
Ginseng is an herbal supplement often used to enhance memory and mental function. It contains numerous different compounds -- some may stimulate the immune system, some have estrogen-like effects, and some have "blood-thinning" properties. Most people believe that natural products have no side effects, but some of the common side effects reported with ginseng supplements include breast pain, vaginal bleeding, and high blood pressure. You should talk to your healthcare provider before taking this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
