Ginseng Info

Our ginseng products are intended for adults aged 18 and over. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulant medication, or currently under a doctor's care, please consult your doctor or a registered Chinese medicine practitioner before taking ginseng — this is the guidance that has always appeared on our product pages and Frequently Asked Questions page, not a rule we invented ourselves, but a general standard of responsible use.

Ginseng is traditionally harvested at six years — the point at which the root is considered to have developed fully. The ginseng used across our range is left in the ground for a full six years before harvest, far longer than the three-to-four-year roots commonly sold elsewhere.

The serving amount varies by product — the exact amount is always stated on the packaging and product page, and one product's dose should never be applied to another. Take our flagship ginseng powder as an example: the label instructs three level scoops in the morning, at noon, and in the evening (about 0.7g per scoop), and one 150g tin lasts around 24 days.

American ginseng, Korean ginseng (red ginseng), and Changbai Mountain ginseng come from different species, different growing regions, and different processing methods. Traditional Chinese medicine also classifies them under different property categories — and these differences are the practical starting point for choosing between them, rather than any one being simply "better."
