American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

American ginseng, also known as Panax quinquefolius, is a medicinal herb deeply rooted in the traditional medicine of North America and Asia. It is characterized by its perennial, light green leaves and small, pale pink flowers. This species of ginseng has more cooling properties than the Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and is often used for its calming abilities and because it helps the body adapt to stress. Freeze-dried ginseng then contains all the original nutrients and substances unchanged, which greatly enhances its healing properties.

Products containing American ginseng have become increasingly popular for their wide range of uses. It can be found not only in various food supplements such as vitamin capsules and tablet forms, but also in beverages such as teas, energy drinks or even coffee. Because of its energising and revitalising effects, ginseng is also often added to skin creams and masks and to hair shampoos. It is also found in some medicinal products designed to boost the immune system or improve cognitive function. So whether you're looking for a way to boost your energy, support your mental abilities or improve your appearance, American ginseng can be a great option.
