Description
Ginseng Extract Product Overview
Ginseng extract is obtained from the root of Panax ginseng, also known as Asian or Korean ginseng. It is a brownish-yellow to light tan powder that dissolves in water and aqueous ethanol. Its characteristic compounds are ginsenosides, and extracts are standardized from about 5% up to 80%, measured by HPLC or UV.
It is important to distinguish Panax ginseng from American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), which has a different ginsenoside profile, and from Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), which is not a true ginseng. Producers of nutritional products and beverages use ginseng extract in capsules, tablets, drinks and energy products; regulations in each market govern the claims allowed.
Pharmaceutical companies use standardized extracts in herbal medicinal products in some countries, and cosmetic formulators use them in skin and hair care. Other botanical extracts often used alongside ginseng include Ginkgo Biloba Extract and Guarana Extract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ginsenoside content measured by HPLC or UV?
Both methods are used. UV values are typically higher than HPLC values for the same extract, so please specify which method your specification requires.
What is the difference between Panax ginseng and Siberian ginseng?
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus) is a different plant without ginsenosides. Our extract comes from true Panax ginseng root.
