Korean Ginseng (80% Ginsenosides)

History:

The Mandarin word for Ginseng is Len seng, which literally means "Root of Man," and the name Ginseng comes from the Chinese, jen shen, also meaning" Man Root." This low-growing, perennial shrub, native to the cool-summer regions of China and North Korea, takes at least four years to mature, and Panax ginseng has been a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over five thousand years. It was first mentioned in the Shen Nong Herbal (compiled between the first and second centuries B.C.) to "enlighten the mind and increase wisdom" and suitable for long-term use without toxic effects. It was traditionally used for eye health and regarded as "anti-ageing tonic" commonly used by the elderly for mental and physical health support. The reverence with which some hold Ginseng is reflected in its botanical name, Panax, which is derived from the Greek word for panacea or all healing. Another Asian species (Panax pseudoginseng) is native to Japan and may be used for several of the same purposes. Some of the constituents in Korean Ginseng include ginsenosides, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, campesterols, cinnamic-, ferulic-, fumaric-, oleanolic- and vanillic-acids, olyacetylinic alcohol, as well as saponins, stigmasterol, calcium, choline, fiber, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, zinc, B-vitamins and vitamin C.
