Plant Story

Ginseng is a perennial adaptogenic plant belonging to the genus Panax. A few species are known but Asian or Korean ginseng (P. ginseng) and American ginseng (P. quinquefolius) are of particular importance. The name “ginseng” comes from the Chinese word “Ren Sheng”, which means “man-herb” due to the shape of its root or rhizome. The genus name “Panax” means “all-healing” or “cure all” in Greek, reflecting the traditional belief that ginseng has properties to heal all aspects of the body. Ginseng has been estimated to be the second top-selling herbal supplement.

 

Ginseng contains various bioactive compounds and the most well-known bioactive compound is ginsenosides, which is a triterpenoid saponin. Although Korean ginseng has been most widely studied for ginsenosides, there are ginsenosides that are unique to American ginseng, which is quinquenosides.

 

American ginseng extract has shown strong in vitro radical scavenging activity, both water- and lipid-soluble antioxidant activity. Additionally, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activities have been reported in American ginseng.
