Panax Ginseng Extract 2% (organic) (872)

“Panax” means "all-healing" in Greek, and "ginseng" comes from the Chinese words meaning “person" and "plant root", which refers to the root's characteristic forked shape, resembling the legs of a person. Traditionally used as an adaptogen, Panax ginseng’s primary bioactive compounds are ginsenosides (triterpene saponins), of which about 50 types have been identified. It also contains phytonutrients such as polyactylene compounds, triterpenoids and phytosterols. Panax ginseng is a good source of polysaccharides and several B vitamins, and contains vitamin C and E, choline, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorous, and zinc.* Applications: Functional foods Functional beverages Health tonic Dietary supplement Tablets/Capsules Pet foods
