Organic Panax Gingseng Extract

Panax ginseng is a plant whose root is used as an herbal supplement. The extract is made by processing the root, often using solvents to isolate certain compounds. It is commonly found in energy drinks and other beverages.

Manufacturers add ginseng extract for its perceived energizing properties and as a flavor component. It is often used in beverages like energy drinks, teas, and sometimes in supplements.

Ginseng is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies suggest it may have benefits for energy levels and cognitive function, but research is ongoing and results are mixed. JECFA has evaluated ginseng and established acceptable daily intake levels. It is not associated with major health controversies in typical food use.
