Korean Ginseng , (often referred to as Chinese, Asian or Panax Ginseng ) has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The part of the plant used is the slow-growing root (growth period: 4 - 6 years) and is one of the most widely used herbs in modern times. Traditional uses of the herb mainly concerned administration to people over the age of 50 to maintain well-being. Today it is often recommended due to its mild stimulant abilities to enhance energy levels, while in recent years the interest of the scientific community has turned to the properties of the herb to strengthen the immune system and regulate blood glucose levels. The main active ingredients of Korean Ginseng are found in the root and include over 20 chemicals that fall into the category of ginsenosides. Lamberts insists on rigorous quality testing carried out in England to ensure both the potency and purity of the ginseng used in this product.
