About Ginseng

We have prepared for you an exceptional Ginseng product that contains two vital mushrooms, Cordyceps and Reishi, in addition to high quality Korean Red Ginseng.

According to Chinese medicine, ginseng strengthens Yuan Qi, which translates to original energy, and is the root of all energy in our body. In classical literature it is often referred to as the "root of life".

In Chinese medicine, its vitalizing and immunity-stimulating effects have been used for thousands of years. It is translated as the human root or the power of the earth in the form of man. Nowadays, Ginseng is used as an energy stimulant for fatigue, exhaustion, burnout syndrome or recovering from illness. It supports physical and mental performance. It is a strong adaptogen and immunostimulant.

Ginseng contains a variety of bioactive substances. The pharmacologically essential components include saponins, antioxidants, polysaccharides and peptides. Research into the contents began as early as 1854, when the first glycoside was isolated from ginseng and named panaquilone. In 1906, the first saponin, panaxin, was isolated. Since then, more than 70 different saponins have been isolated from ginseng. These are collectively referred to as ginsenosides or panaxosides. Of the essential antioxidants, maltol, salicylic acid and vanillic acid are found in ginseng. The acidic polysaccharide ginsan has been isolated from the ginseng root and has been shown to have a significant stimulating effect on the immune system.

Why take Ginseng with Cordyceps in the morning and Ginseng with Reishi in the evening?

This recommendation is based on Chinese medicine theory, which states that Cordyceps promotes Yang (warms) and is therefore better taken in the morning, and Reishi promotes more Yin (nourishes or slightly cools) and is therefore better taken in the afternoon or early evening.

Harmony of Yin and Yang

Chinese medicine describes Yin and Yang as two opposing principles that make up our world. In nature, they are constantly in a delicate balance. The same is true in our bodies. If we want to be healthy, we need to keep both principles in harmony.

Korean Red Ginseng is the most effective of all the ginseng species, thanks to its content of 34 kinds of bioactive saponins. It supports vitality and natural defenses. It harmonizes the mental state and promotes performance. We use the highest quality ginseng powder possible. Ginseng is such a center that strengthens Yuan Qi, which is our original energy - the root of our life and vitality.

Since it strengthens our Yang part more, it is recommended to take it in the morning.

Reishi is a vital mushroom that strengthens natural defenses. Thanks to its tropism to the heart, it supports the cardiovascular system and harmonizes the psyche. We use an exceptional glossy cordgrass extract with a minimum of 50% polysaccharides (minimum 20% β - 1,3/1,6 D-glucan). Since Reishi strengthens our Yin part, it is recommended to take it in the afternoon.
