Although it is often confused with Siberian Ginseng, Panax Ginseng is actually quite different in that it is a "true" ginseng from the Araliaceae family of perennial plants. It grows in the northern part of Asia , typically in Korea , eastern Siberia , and northern China , but can also be found in parts of North America . The word "Panax" means "all-heal" in Greek, because of its wide breadth of uses in Chinese medicine.

Panax Ginseng has become increasingly scarce in Asia , leading many supplement manufacturers to make misleading claims about their products. Without carefully scrutinizing a product before purchase, consumers could wind up buying Siberian ginseng or another unknown herbs. Wild Panax ginseng is usually quite expensive, followed by slightly more reasonably priced cultivated Korean ginseng, with ginseng harvested in the American Midwest at the lowest end of the spectrum.

Ginseng is primarily promoted as an adaptogen, which means that it helps the body to cope with physical, mental, and emotional stress. Anyone who has ever struggled to get themselves into the gym after a hard day at the office can certainly attest to the toll that mental stress can take on the body. Bodybuilders and other professional athletes can also benefit from adaptogens as they may help to minimize damage caused by overtraining.

This herb has also shown to act as a stimulant, giving users more energy to power through their workout. Because of its ability to boost stamina, Panax ginseng is also thought to improve male sexual performance.

Panax (Korean) Ginseng Root has been revered in the Orient for centuries as a traditional herb to promote vitality. This product is especially popular among people leading an active and demanding lifestyle. Korean Ginseng is particularly useful when you are suffering from fatigue or from reduced work capacity and ability to concentrate.

Korean Ginseng may also assist in supporting system levels in your body, such as cholesterol, metabolism and immunity. Plus, it may also stimulate the nervous system and enhance increased oxygenation to the cells and tissues. This helps detoxify and reduce fatigue and stress.
