Asian ginseng extract
Botanical name: panax ginseng
Ginseng has been a part of Chinese medicine since the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago and perhaps even longer. Ginseng is commonly used by elderly people in the Orient to improve mental and physical vitality. Ginseng has been used in many traditional Chinese medicine recipes as a tonic to build up nonspecific resistance against various ailments such as depression, fatigue, diabetes, damaged immune functions, etc. Apart from these, it also could regulate stomach and intestine function, and improve metabolism deficiency, etc. Ginseng commonly grows on mountain slopes and is usually harvested in the fall. The root is used, preferably from plants older than six years of age.
