Our American ginseng extract is obtained exclusively from the roots of Panax ginseng quinquefolius. The roots are extracted using pure water and food grade ethanol in a ratio of 15:1, a gentle process which preserves the valuable bioactives within the root.
The resulting plant-based extract is rich in ginsenosides (standardised to 20%) from the groups Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3 and Rd. The hydroxyl groups bound to these ginsenosides vary in their number and position, modulating the properties of each of these potent phytochemicals.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.
