Detailed description

The name of the Panax genus is a compound of the Greek words pan and axos. Pan means “all” and axos means “to treat”. A member of the Araliaceae family, ginseng is a perennial plant with compound leaves and a fleshy root harvested between 4 and 6 years of age.

Native to East Asia, ginseng has been cultivated and harvested for over 5,000 years. Historically, it has played an important role in traditional Chinese medicine.

Ginseng is consumed in the form of tea, powders, capsules or directly by chewing the root. Ginseng’s health properties are varied and well-documented. It is recognized for its adaptogenic effects, helping the body to manage stress and improve physical and mental resilience. It is also renowned for its ability to improve energy and vitality, making it a popular general tonic.

Ginseng contains a large number of active ingredients, including ginsenosides, ginseng polypeptides and ginseng polysaccharides. Among these, ginsenosides are considered the major active ingredients responsible for ginseng’s physiological activity, with impacts on the nervous system, cardiovascular system and immune system.
