Ginseng Extract Korean (350 mg)

Korean Ginseng – An Important Herb With Many Benefits

Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been used for centuries throughout the Orient as an important herb for health. Today it is one of the most widely found and used herbs throughout the world. For many years, panax ginseng has been considered an herb capable of great healing and strengthening. Ginseng is classified as an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances which help restore the body to proper balance without side effects.

Extensive scientific research into the mechanisms of ginseng have led scientists to identify what they believe to be the primary active ingredients in ginseng-- saponin triterpenoid glycosides, commonly called ginsenocides. Korean ginseng was found to have 28 ginsenocides which act on several body systems including the immune system, central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Clinical research studies have shown that ginseng has significant effects in a variety of settings:

• Physical improvement and performance enhancement for athletes.
• Mental performance improvement and mood enhancement.
• Anti-fatigue and anti-stress actions.
• Supports healthy blood sugar levels.
• Antioxidant properties.
• Supports healthy cholesterol levels.
• Physical and mental improvement in the elderly.

While there have been extensive studies, more studies are needed in confirm specific health benefits.

Our Ginseng Extract is made exclusively from 4-6 year old roots of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Araliaceae Family). The standardized extract ensures the presence of the biologically active ginsenocides. The whole root powder is included as a source of other compounds that may be active but whose activity is currently unknown.
