In-depth summary:

Korean Ginseng is also known by the names Asian Ginseng, Asiatic Ginger, and Chinese Ginseng.Korean Ginseng is a deciduous perennial shrub whose fleshy root requires 4-6 years of cultivation to reach maturity. Its name comes from the Chinese "jen shen," which means "man root," so-named because some roots have limb-like branches resembling arms and legs. Because the root has a human-like shape, it is considered by Orientals to be an overall body tonic. Traditionally, the wild root was consumed to vitalize, strengthen, and rejuvenate the entire body. Widely cultivated, Korean Ginseng is now used as a natural preventive, restorative remedy and valued for its adaptogenic properties. Korean Ginseng is more stimulating and increases the "yang" energy, while American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) increases the "yin" energy. Korean Ginseng is considered most suitable for males and for older people. Used for centuries in China, Korean Ginseng was believed to be and anti-ageing herb. Today, Ginseng is a favourable herb because of its ability to be used long-term without toxic effects on the body. Korean Ginseng contains adaptogens that have been known to return the body's system levels back to normal. By equalising the system levels in the body, Korean Ginseng has been used to lower cholesterol, balance the metabolism, increase energy levels, and stimulate the immune system. It has also been used to alleviate fatigue and reduce nervousness & stress on the body. Korean Ginseng also increases oxygenation to the cells and tissues, promoting detoxification, and stimulating the regeneration of damaged cells. For this reason, Korean Ginseng is the popular choice because it enhances the feeling of overall well being by stimulating the nervous system, brain, and heart, as well as healthy liver functions.

Certain herbal products get quite a bit of press, mostly because of the hype that marketing companies build around them. And then there are those products which stand on their own two legs, they stand out because they do exactly what they are claimed to do, and the test of time provides the spring board for these product to continue on into the future. Ginseng is one that definitely stands out on its own. There are many types of Ginseng, but the ones that we primarily hear about are the Asian & Korean Panax ginsengs and the Eastern Siberian types, but Ginseng is also grown right here in the U.S. and in Canada!

Ginseng root contains at least 29 active ingredients, some of these plant chemicals called ginsenosides. Of them, the Rb and Rg ginsenosides are perhaps the most significant. Rb-1 has a calming effect on the body (Yin qualities), helping it manage stress, while Rg-1 has a stimulating effect (Yang qualities), giving the body energy. The amounts and types of these phyto-chemicals that are found in Ginseng depend on the type of plant and its origin.

The pharmacokinetics (the chemical makeup) of eleutheroside B (another plant chemical) found in Siberian Ginseng shows that it accumulates in the pituitary and adrenal glands, pancreatic nuclei and spleen over time. This and other types of ginsengs contain Lignans (sesamine, eleutheroside D [di-beta-D-glycoside of syringaresinol]), Polysaccharides (eleutherane A-G & eleutheroside C [ethyl-alpha-D-galactoside]), Triterpene saponins (eleutheroside I, K, L, and M), Steroid glycosides (eleutheroside A [glycoside of daucosterol]), Hydroxycoumarins (isofraxidin), Phenylacrylic acid derivatives (eleutheroside B [glycoside of syringin]), Minerals (Ca, P, K, Mg, Na, Al, Ba, Fe, Sr, B, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cr). All of the above have a significant impact on your overall total wellness. They have the ability to help maintain the function of the organs in the body that help to keep us healthy! That is why scientists have classified this herb as an adaptagen; it helps the body to 'adapt' to situations that would otherwise drain it of its strength and vitality.

This herb gives the body the ability to deal with stress, and the associated physiological reactions that tend to make the body over compensate (adrenal burn out) and break down over time. What the body does is, in an 'alarming' situation the adrenal glands release corticosteroids and adrenaline, which prepares the organism (the body) for the fight or flight reaction. When these hormones are depleted, the organism reaches an exhaustive phase. Siberian Ginseng especially, but other types of ginseng also delay the exhaustive phase and allows a more economical and efficient release of these hormones. Ginseng has also been shown to have a significant effect on the immune system, thereby preventing the manifestation of certain types of genetic deformations that can occur in the breasts, oral cavity, stomach and skin. This product is a 'must have' in the arsenal to maintain health!
