Ginseng, the root with valuable health restoring properties,
is a decidious, perennial herb with adaptogenic properties.
Today, ginseng is found in two forms - panax ginseng
and panax quinqueofolium - two "cousin plants"
that contain active ingredients called ginsenosides.
Ginsenosides are found in different proportions, depending
on where and how ginseng is grown. Some ginseng stimulates,
while other relax or cool. Different ginsengs have different
functions. For example, the Oriental Cultivated Ginseng
tends to contain higher proportions of the heating ginsenosides
preferred by those seeking performance stimulation.
Wild Ginseng contains all known ginsenosisdes preferred
by athletes and older men for hormonal system stimulation.
