Meet the herb

Red ginseng, sometimes known as ‘all-healing man root’, is a special root prized in Chinese medicine, popular for reinvigorating the libido and supporting general vitality. It is one of the most widely used adaptogenic herbs and highly valued for its uplifting and stamina-boosting properties.

History

Red ginseng is one of the most widely used adaptogenic herbs and highly valued as an important folk medicine in East Asian countries, including China, Korea, and Japan, for more than 2000 years (1).

It is revered in China as a herb for everything with applications for a wide range of diseases. Its Latin name Panax–derived from the Greek panacea–meaning that is, for everything (2).

Benefits

Gut health: Studies suggest fermented ginseng can treat colon inflammation and restore the gut microbiota to its original state (3).

Cognitive health: A study found regular consumption of ginseng was associated with improved cognitive function later in life (4). It also has neurotrophic effects in memory and learning and neuroprotective actions (1).

Immunity: A study found daily ginseng consumption increased levels of immune cells and boosted the immune system (1).

Energy: A review concluded ginseng could significantly improve symptoms of chronic fatigue (6). The European Medicines Agency Committee on Herbal Medicine products suggest ginseng can be used for treatment of fatigue, weakness and lack of vitality (7).

Key actives

The major bioactive compounds of red ginseng are its ginseng saponins, known as ginsenosides, which have been researched for their positive benefits to the nervous system.

The structural diversity of ginsenosides may contribute to the multiple pharmacological effects of ginseng on diabetes, inflammation, stress, immune, cardiovascular system, and CNS (1).

Research shows that fermenting the herb increases antioxidant activity (8).
