○ Latin name: Panax ginseng ○ Dosage: 300 mg per capsule Asian ginseng is a perennial herb belonging to the Araliaceae family and native to East Asia, mainly China, Korea and eastern Siberia. Asian ginseng is a perennial that grows in cool, shady areas. It has a fleshy rocket-shaped root, compound leaves and green or yellow flowers. The root is the most valuable part of the plant due to its active compounds. She is often depicted as having a human appearance, with branching "arms" and "legs". Red ginseng refers to a specific form of ginseng that has gone through a special processing process. The process of turning ginseng into red ginseng involves several steps. First, ginseng roots are harvested after a 4-6 year growth period, allowing the roots to develop a more concentrated profile of active compounds. Then the roots are cleaned and subjected to a steam process, followed by high temperature drying. This steaming and drying process is usually repeated several times over a period of several days. The result of this treatment is that the ginseng root becomes reddish or brownish, hence the name "red ginseng".
