How It Works
Widely accepted to have originated in the Shangdang region of China, Korean (panax) ginseng was first recorded in Chinese medicine over 2,000 years ago.
The name “panax” comes from the Greek word panacea, meaning cure-all.
Korean ginseng is best known for its adaptogenic properties and is commonly used to promote energy and vitality.
Adaptogens help the body buffer the effects of stress and adapt to stressful situations.
As an adaptogen, Korean ginseng supports the body’s efforts to achieve balance by helping to optimize bodily functions and modulating stress response pathways, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
Traditionally ginseng root has been consumed to boost energy, improve memory and concentration, promote endurance and exercise performance, enhance immune system activity, and elevate mood.
Research has shown that Korean ginseng and its active compounds can positively influence neurotransmitter levels in the brain, which are important for healthy mood, cognition, and other brain functions such as memory.
Active constituents in the plant, called ginsenosides, provide antioxidant protection, support the glandular system, and boost immune system function.
Since the majority of published research on Korean ginseng's health benefits has focused on ginsenosides, these are the compounds to which some ginseng products are standardized.

Quintozene is a fungicidal widely used to protect ginseng crops from a type of garden rot that affects many plants during cool, wet months. Quntozene is a potential carcinogens that may also be toxic to various organs.
