Ginseng (Panax)

Coming later

Panax root extracts standardised to ginsenosides. Asian, American, and Siberian ginseng are different plants. Not in the directory yet.

Ginseng here means Panax species. Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng) and Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng) are both cultivated in China, as well as in Korea, the United States, and Canada. Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a different genus and is not covered by this page.

Ginsenoside percentages depend on the method. Total ginsenosides by UV are not interchangeable with named ginsenosides, such as Rb1 and Rg1, by HPLC.

Buying considerations for US supplement brands

Pesticide residues are a common testing concern for cultivated root crops, ginseng included. Ask for a pesticide method and limits, not a pass statement.
Wild or wild-simulated claims need their own evidence.
