Ginseng

Korean ginseng ( Panax ginseng ) is an East Asian medicinal plant traditionally used in Chinese medicine. Its scientific name Panax comes from the Greek meaning "cure everything". In this section you will find all the food supplements made with Korean ginseng.

Properties of Korean ginseng

The properties of ginseng are concentrated in the root of this plant. Ginseng root contains substances called ginsenosides, which are the main active ingredients in ginseng. Ginseng is recommended when an energy drain is anticipated, whether physical or mental, for example, in the case of athletes or students. You can also take ginseng for its antioxidant effects.

White ginseng or red ginseng?

The difference between white and red ginseng is the time of harvesting and processing of the plant. White ginseng: the root of the plant is collected after four years and then scraped and dried. This process removes the outer part of the root that is darker in color. Red ginseng: the root of the plant is collected after six years and then it is cleaned, processed by vaporization and dried, so that the roots achieve a red hue. This ginseng is of better quality because the vaporization process favors the activity of its active ingredients.
