What it is

Panax ginseng is a plant whose root has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Organic Panax ginseng extract is made by processing the root of the ginseng plant, often using solvents to isolate specific compounds. The resulting extract is typically a powder or liquid.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ginseng extract for its purported energizing and adaptogenic properties, often in beverages like water, soda, and sports drinks. It is added to products marketed for boosting energy, improving focus, or supporting overall well-being.

Health notes

Panax ginseng is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies suggest it may have benefits for cognitive function and the immune system, but evidence is mixed. JECFA has evaluated ginseng and established specifications for its identity and purity. Regulatory bodies have not established upper intake limits for ginseng in food, and it is not currently associated with widespread health controversies at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Panax ginseng is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
