Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mayer) has a track record for health that no other herbs are able to boast, including other ginseng species. The word “Panax” in Panax ginseng is derived from a Greek phrase meaning 'to cure all' the roots are taken orally as adaptogens helping the body reduce stress and fatigue while giving the body energy. Korean ginseng is also good for maintaining a balanced healthy body with its antioxidant properties. Many ongoing researches are being conducted which shows Korean ginseng's amazing benefit in many other areas as well.
Active ingredient in Korean ginseng which provides the wide range of health benefits are diverse variety of saponins called ginsenosides, component unique to ginseng plants. Korean ginseng is considered to be the best with 36 active ingredients identified while only 13 for American ginseng and 14 for Chinese ginseng has been identified.
Absorption Limitation
Ginsenosides, which are divided into Protopanaxadiol (diol types) or rotopanaxatriol(triol types) are not digested in the stomach like egular food but are hydrolyzed in the intestine by intestinal icroorganisms before being absorbed into the body. Thus the ondition of the intestine is an important factor in how much insenosides the body is able to process and absorb.
A study published in the Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition Journal 2004 showed that only 62% of the people were capable to process both types of ginsenosides. 20% could process only the Diol Types while the 13% could process only the Triol Types. A small group of 5% could not process either kind of ginsenosides. To gain full benefit, the intestine must be able to process both kinds of ginsenosides effectively.
