Cherished by Royal families and aristocrats, Ginseng has been recognized as a 'wonder' herb for health in Asia and the far East for the past 5000 years. The word Ginseng derives from the Chinese term 'man root' as the Ginseng root closely resembles the legs of a man or woman.

Ontario produces world-renowned Ginseng roots also known as American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). The botanical term Panax means 'all heal' or 'cure all' because of its wide use in Chinese medicine.

Ginseng aids in restoring homeostasis (a balanced, healthy state) in our health by providing ginsenosides. The main active ingredient of Ginseng is saponin which is only found in Ginseng. The word saponin comes from the Greek word 'soap' as saponin has the ability to cleanse and remove pollutants from the body. Modern science, research and studies have demonstrated that Ginseng has the properties of adaptogens, anti-oxidants, anti-carcinogens and anti-aging agents.

What is Red Ginseng Extract?

Our Red Ginseng Extract is produced from Ontario's finest Ginseng roots. The Red Ginseng Extract is a liquid that has been processed from Ginseng roots using a slow, low-temperature heat method that has been adopted from effective traditional Korean processing methods.

This technique produces a mild tasting drink that has undergone chemical changes that promote the number of active beneficial ingredients (namely 31 different ginsenosides, saponins and maltols).
