American Ginseng Root Extract may be beneficial in the treatment of fatigue, poor memory, diabetes, and viral respiratory infections like colds and flu.
There are many varieties of Ginseng, but the most popular are American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng).
American and Asian ginseng vary in their concentration of active compounds and effects on the body.

According to some older research, it is believed that American Ginseng Root Extract works as a relaxing agent, whereas the Asian variety has an invigorating effect
The name "ginseng" is used to refer to both American (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian or Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), which belong to the genus Panax and have a somewhat similar chemical makeup.

Both Asian and American Ginseng Root Extracts contain ginsenosides, which are the substances thought to give ginseng its medicinal properties.
But they contain different types in different amounts.
Siberian ginseng, or Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), is an entirely different plant with different effects.

It is distantly related to ginseng, but it does not contain the same active ingredients.
Like Asian ginseng, American Ginseng Root Extract is a light tan, gnarled root that often looks like a human body with stringy shoots for arms and legs.
Native Americans used the root as a stimulant and to treat headaches, fever, indigestion, and infertility.

Ginseng remains one of the most popular herbs in the United States.
Other studies show that American Ginseng Root Extract might have therapeutic potential for inflammatory diseases.
Research on American Ginseng Root Extract has focused on a number of conditions, including the following.

American Ginseng Root Extract (Panax quinquefolis) is an herb that grows mainly in North America.
Wild American Ginseng Root Extract is in such high demand that it has been declared a threatened or endangered species in some states in the United States.

American Ginseng Root Extract is a high-quality extract powder derived from the root of the American Panax Quinquefolium plant.
American Ginseng Root Extract is a very fine, brown concentrate with a bittersweet flavour and aroma, typical of ginseng, and is the highest quality ginseng root.

American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a species of flowering plant in the ivy family Araliaceae.
American Ginseng is native to eastern North America and introduced in China.
The specific epithet quinquefolius means "five-leaved", which refers to the typical number of leaflets per leaf.

It is one of a group of taxa known as "ginseng".
Europeans first became aware of American ginseng near Montreal in 1716.
It has been wild-harvested and exported to Asia since 1720.

Billions of plants were wild-harvested in the 19th century alone.
To control international trade and prevent global extinction of the species, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service implements a CITES Export Program that authorizes 19 states and one tribe to export American ginseng from the United States.

From 1978 to 2019, the bulk of exports have come from southern Appalachian states, especially Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee.
The conservation status of American ginseng is globally vulnerable.
It is imperiled or critically imperiled in 14 states and provinces.

In Canada, the species is endangered and facing imminent extinction.
As wild populations declined in the late 19th century, American ginseng became a domesticated crop.
It is cultivated primarily in Ontario, Wisconsin, British Columbia, and China.

Canada is the largest producer and exporter of cultivated American ginseng in the world.
It is the state herb of Wisconsin.

-Immune system enhancement use of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Some scientists believe American Ginseng Root Extract enhances the immune system.
In theory, this improvement in immune function could help the body fight off infection and disease.
Several clinical studies have shown that American Ginseng Root Extract does boost the performance of cells that play a role in immunity.

-Diabetes uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Several human studies show that American Ginseng Root Extract lowered blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
The effect was seen both on fasting blood sugar and on postprandial (after eating) glucose levels.

One study found that people with type 2 diabetes who took American Ginseng Root Extract before or together with a high-sugar drink experienced less of an increase in blood glucose levels.
Other studies suggest that North American Ginseng Root Extract prevents diabetes-related complications including retinal and cardiac functional changes by reducing stress.

-Cancer uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
American Ginseng Root Extract has been shown to inhibit tumor growth.
In one laboratory study on colorectal cancer cells, researchers found that American Ginseng Root Extract possessed powerful anti-cancer properties.

-Uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Ginseng has been a part of traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years.
In Asia, American Ginseng Root Extract is highly valued for its cooling and sedative medicinal effects (yin), whereas Asian ginseng embodies the warmer aspects of yang.

American Ginseng Root Extract was of minor importance in traditional Native American medicine.
A number of the uses cited in the literature were likely adopted from the Chinese after the export trade from Canada to China began in 1720.
The Iroquois ingested or smoked the roots as a panacea.

The Menominee in northern Wisconsin used American Ginseng Root Extract as a tonic and to increase one's mental capability, while the Penobscot in Maine used it to promote fertility.
The Seminole in Florida used American Ginseng Root Extract for gunshot wounds.

Native peoples from multiple tribes gathered the roots to barter with white traders.
In the late 19th century, the Cherokee sold large quantities of ginseng to traders for fifty cents a pound.
According to James Mooney, a decoction made from its roots was drunk to relieve headaches and cramps.

-Schizophrenia uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Early research shows that American Ginseng Root Extract might improve some mental symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
Taking 100 mg of a specific American Ginseng Root Extract called HT1001 (Afexa Life Sciences, Canada) twice daily for 4 weeks improves the patient's ability to hold visual information in the mind short-term. This treatment might also reduce some physical side effects of antipsychotic drugs.
However, American Ginseng Root Extract does not improve other mental symptoms.

-Diabetes uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Taking 3 grams of American Ginseng Root Extract by mouth, up to two hours before a meal, can lower blood sugar after a meal in patients with type 2 diabetes.

However, larger doses do not seem to have a greater effect.
Taking 100-200 mg of American Ginseng Root Extract by mouth for 8 weeks might also help lower pre-meal blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Different American Ginseng Root Extract products may have different effects.
Researchers think that is because they contain different amounts of the active chemicals called ginsenosides.

-Respiratory tract infections uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Some research suggests that taking a specific American Ginseng Root Extract called CVT-E002 (Cold-FX, Afexa Life Sciences, Canada) 200-400 mg twice daily for 3-6 months during flu season might prevent cold or flu symptoms in adults between the ages of 18 and 65.
People older than 65 seem to need a flu shot at month 2 along with this treatment in order to decrease their risk of getting the flu or colds.

American Ginseng Root Extract also seems to help make symptoms milder and last a shorter length of time when infections do occur.
Some evidence suggests that American Ginseng Root Extract might not reduce the chance of getting the first cold of a season, but it seems to reduce the risk of getting repeat colds in a season.
However, American Ginseng Root Extract might not help prevent cold or flu-like symptoms in patients with weakened immune systems.

-Fatigue uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
A 2018 review of four studies suggests that American Ginseng Root Extract may help relieve fatigue caused by chronic illnesses ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) to cancer.
The most significant benefit was seen in people who took 2,000 milligrams (mg) daily for eight weeks.

Similar results were seen in a 2019 review examining the effects of American Ginseng Root Extract on people with cancer-related fatigue.
The benefit was greatest in people undergoing active treatment, like chemotherapy or radiation.
As an added bonus, American Ginseng Root Extract does not interact with commonly prescribed chemotherapy drugs like tamoxifen, doxorubicin, methotrexate, or fluorouracil.

-Memory uses of American Ginseng Root Extract:
Limited evidence suggests that American Ginseng Root Extract may improve cognitive function in some people.
This includes the ability to learn, think, reason, and remember.

A 2015 study reported that healthy adults who received a single 200 mg dose of an American Ginseng Root Extract extract (called Cereboost) had increased working memory, peaking within three hours of the dose.

The findings were limited by the small size of the study (52 adults) and the lack of a control group (meaning a group given a sham placebo).
A 2022 study involving 61 adults showed longer-lasting improvements in working memory after taking 200 mg of Cereboost daily for two weeks.

For this study, a control group was included, but the findings were limited by the fact that the research was funded by the manufacturer, Naturex SA.
An unrelated study published in 2012 reported that an American Ginseng Root Extract extract taken twice daily for four weeks improved the working memory of 32 people with schizophrenia compared to a matched set of adults given a placebo.

HOW DOES AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT WORK?
American Ginseng Root Extract contains chemicals called ginsenosides that seem to affect insulin levels in the body and lower blood sugar.
Other chemicals, called polysaccharides, might affect the immune system.

PLANT DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
The American ginseng plant has leaves that grow in a circle around a straight stem.
Yellowish-green, umbrella-shaped flowers grow in the center and produce red berries.
Wrinkles around the neck of the root tell how old the plant is.

This is important because American ginseng is not ready for use until it has grown for about 6 years.
American ginseng is endangered in the wild.
So it tends to be expensive.
It is now being grown on farms to protect wild American ginseng from over-harvesting.

WHAT IS AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT MADE OF?
American Ginseng Root Extract products are made from ginseng root and the long, thin offshoots called root hairs.
The main chemical ingredients of American Ginseng Root Extract are ginsenosides and polysaccharide glycans (quinquefolans A, B, and C).
American Ginseng Root Extract seems to be more relaxing than Asian ginseng, which may have stimulating effects.

AVAILABLE FORMS OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
American Ginseng Root Extract is available in water, water and alcohol, alcohol liquid extracts, and in powders, capsules, and tablets.
American Ginseng Root Extract is available with other herbs in several combination formulas.

Be sure to read the label carefully so that you are purchasing the type of ginseng that you want.
If you are looking for Asian ginseng, make sure you buy Korean, red, or Panax ginseng.
If you are looking for American Ginseng Root Extract, you should buy Panax quinquefolius.

Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus), which is sometimes called Siberian ginseng, may also be found in health food stores or pharmacies.
It does not have the same active ingredients as Asian or American Ginseng Root Extract.

Both American Ginseng Root Extract (Panax quinquefolius, L.) and Asian ginseng (P. Ginseng) may boost energy, lower blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, reduce stress, promote relaxation, treat diabetes, and manage sexual dysfunction in men.

IS AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT SAFE?
When taken by mouth: American Ginseng Root Extract is likely safe when used short-term.
Doses of 100-3000 mg daily have been used safely for up to 12 weeks.
Side effects might include headache, but American Ginseng Root Extract's usually well-tolerated.

TYPES OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
American Ginseng Root Extract is a distinctive type of ginseng used in traditional Chinese medicine.
American Ginseng Root Extract and Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) are both considered true ginseng in that they contain an organic chemical called ginsenoside.

Even so, American Ginseng Root Extract has a different chemical makeup and "cooler" yin qualities than Asian ginseng.
American Ginseng Root Extract is also less stimulating.
Because of this, American Ginseng Root Extract is widely exported to Asia where it is highly valued for its cooling and sedative effects.

Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is not a true ginseng, It is a small, woody shrub with blackberry-like fruit found in northeastern Asia.
While it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine, neither the berries, leaves, stalks, nor roots contain ginsenoside.

BENEFITS OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
There are two main types of American Ginseng Root Extract: Asian or Korean Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) and American Ginseng Root Extract (Panax quinquefolius).
Studies show that different types have different benefits.
In traditional Chinese medicine, American Ginseng Root Extract is considered less stimulating than the Asian variety.

Although many other herbs are called American Ginseng Root Extract—like Eleuthero or Siberian Ginseng Root Extract—they don't contain the active ingredient of ginsenosides.

American Ginseng Root Extract has traditionally been used for a number of medical conditions.
But American Ginseng Root Extract's benefits for most of them haven't been seriously researched.
Anecdotally, the root may help you:

*Build immunity.
Some studies show that American Ginseng Root Extract may boost your immune system.
There's some evidence that one particular type of Ginseng might lower the number and severity of colds in adults.

*Regulate blood sugar.
Several studies in people have shown that American Ginseng Root Extract may lower blood sugar levels.

*Improve focus.
There's some early evidence that American Ginseng Root Extract might give a small, short-term boost to concentration and learning.
Some studies of mental performance have combined American Ginseng Root Extract from leaves of the ginkgo tree, another traditional remedy said to help with dementia.
While these studies are intriguing, many experts feel we need more evidence.

*Reduce inflammation.
Some studies suggest that American Ginseng Root Extract may help control inflammatory diseases.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.

The effectiveness ratings for American Ginseng Root Extract are as follows:
Possibly effective for...
Upper airway infection.

Taking a specific American Ginseng Root Extract called CVT-E002 (Cold-FX, Afexa Life Sciences) by mouth during flu season might prevent cold or flu symptoms in some adults.
There is interest in using American Ginseng Root Extract for a number of other purposes, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it might be helpful.

CULTURE OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
In the local vernacular, American ginseng has been variously known as "cheng", "chang", "sang", or "shang".
Those collecting it have been called "shangers" and hunting for it has been called "hanging".
In Appalachia, the wild-harvesting of American ginseng is called "sang hunting".
Some blue-collar Appalachian families have been hunting sang for generations

PHYTOCHEMISTRY OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT
Like Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), American ginseng contains dammarane-type ginsenosides, or saponins, as the major biologically active constituents.
Dammarane-type ginsenosides include two classifications: 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) and 20(S)-protopanaxatriol (PPT).

American ginseng contains high levels of Rb1, Rd (PPD classification), and Re (PPT classification) ginsenosides—higher than that of P. ginseng in one study.
When taken orally, PPD-type ginsenosides are mostly metabolized by intestinal bacteria (anaerobes) to PPD monoglucoside, 20-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol (M1).

In humans, M1 is detected in plasma starting seven hours after intake of PPD-type ginsenosides and in urine starting 12 hours after intake.
These findings indicate M1 is the final metabolite of PPD-type ginsenosides.
M1 is referred to in some articles as IH-901, and in others as compound-K.

TAXONOMY OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
Panax quinquefolius was described as Aureliana canadensis by the French ethnologist and naturalist Joseph-François Lafitau in 1718.
As a Jesuit missionary in New France, Lafitau discovered ginseng near Montreal in 1716.

In his search for a specimen, Father Lafitau enlisted the help of the Iroquois by showing them a published botanical illustration of gin-seng, a Chinese name for a plant now known as Panax ginseng.
The Iroquois referred to American ginseng as garent-oguen, which means "resembles man" or "a man's thigh" in Iroquoian language.

Aureliana canadensis was further described by the English naturalist Mark Catesby in 1747.
Catesby published a striking color illustration of a live specimen transplanted from Pennsylvania to the garden of English botanist Peter Collinson in Peckham.

Aureliana canadensis Lafitau ex Catesby is an invalid name since it was published prior to 1 May 1753.
The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus validly described Panax quinquefolium in 1753, but the name was later corrected to Panax quinquefolius.
Linnaeus placed Aureliana canadensis Lafitau ex Catesby in synonymy with Panax quinquefolius, citing both Lafitau [1718] and Catesby [1747].

Its type specimen, designated in 1991, was reportedly collected by Pehr Kalm near Quebec in 1749.
The specific epithet quinquefolius means "five-leaved", which refers to the typical number of leaflets per leaf.

ETYMOLOGY OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
The name ginseng derives from the Chinese herbalism term, jen-shen.
Other Chinese names are huaqishen (simplified Chinese: 花旗参; traditional Chinese: 花旗參; pinyin: huāqíshēn; Cantonese Yale: fākèihsām; lit. 'Flower Flag ginseng') or xiyangshen (simplified Chinese: 西洋参; traditional Chinese: 西洋參; pinyin: xīyángshēn; Cantonese Yale: sāiyèuhngsām; lit. 'west ocean ginseng').
The word "panax" is derived from the Greek 'Panakos' (panacea), in reference to the various benefits attributed to the herb.

DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
Panax quinquefolius is native to eastern United States and southeastern Canada.
It is found primarily in the Appalachian and Ozark mountains of the United States where it prefers full shade environments in deciduous hardwood forests.
It is introduced and cultivated in the following Chinese provinces: Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Jilin, and Liaoning.

ECOLOGY OF AMERICAN GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT:
Panax quinquefolius is a summer flowering plant.
In New England, flower buds and leaves emerge simultaneously around the middle of June, with flowers eventually appearing in July.
Fruits mature to a deep red color by early September.

The seeds exhibit a type of dormancy called morphophysiological dormancy, sometimes called "double dormancy", which requires two full winters to completely break dormancy.
Germination finally takes place eighteen months after the fruit initially ripened.
