Description of Ginseng Extract

What is Ginseng ?

Ginseng is the most famous Chinese herb, and is the most widely recognized plant used in

traditional medicine. Various forms have been used in medicine for more than 7000 years.

Several species grow around the world, and though some are preferred for specific benefits,

all are considered to have similar properties as an effective general rejuvenator.

Ginseng is found only in the Northern Hemisphere, in North America and in eastern Asia

(mostly Korea,northeastern China, and eastern Siberia), typically in cooler climates.

It is native to China, Russia, North Korea, Japan, and some areas of North America. It was

first cultivated in the United States in the late 1800's. It is difficult to grow and takes 4-6

years to become mature enough to harvest.

Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is in the same family, but not genus, as true ginseng.

Like ginseng, it is considered to be an adaptogenic herb. The active compounds in Siberian

ginseng are eleutherosides, not ginsenosides. Instead of a fleshy root, Siberian ginseng

has a woody root.

Ginsenosides are a class of steroid glycosides, and triterpene saponins, found exclusively in the plant genus Panax (ginseng).

Ginsenosides have been the target of research, as they are viewed as the active compounds behind the claims of ginseng's efficacy. Because ginsenosides appear to affect multiple pathways, their effects are complex and difficult to isolate.

Ginsenosides are separated by column chromatography. Ginsenoside content can vary widely depending on species, location of growth, and growing time before harvest.

The root, the organ most often used, contains saponin complexes. These are often split into two groups: the Rb1 group (characterized by the protopanaxadiolpresence : Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd) and the Rg1 group (protopanaxatriol: Rg1, Re, Rf, and Rg2).
