American ginseng, not Asian ginseng

American ginseng is native to the forests of eastern North America; it was first documented near present-day Montreal in 1716. Traditional Chinese practice treats it differently from Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng): Asian ginseng is considered warming and stimulating, while American ginseng is considered cooling and calming. That difference is reflected in this product's licence, which includes use as a mild sedative and for digestion in cases of nervousness and stress.

What's in each capsule

Each capsule contains 0.5 g (500 mg) of ground American ginseng root. The active compounds in ginseng are called ginsenosides, and American ginseng has its own ginsenoside profile, distinct from Asian ginseng's.

How to take it

Adults take 1 capsule once a day. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you have diabetes or if you take blood thinners or digoxin.

Who it suits

Adults who want American ginseng in a simple once-a-day capsule, for traditional immune and calming support rather than a stimulant. If you are looking for an energising ginseng, Asian or Korean ginseng is the traditional choice.
