Bios Korea Ginseng Capsules, 100 ST

Bios Korea Ginseng Capsules are a food supplement containing 90 mg of ginseng root extract per capsule.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, synonym: Korean ginseng, ‘man’s root’) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Araliaceae family and grows wild in the shady mountain forests of East Asia. The traditional growing regions are northern China, Manchuria, Korea and Japan. The plant consists of a perennial underground stem connected to the fleshy, carrot-shaped main root, which is approximately 15–20 cm long and about 2 cm thick. Ginseng roots are usually harvested between the 4th and 7th year after sowing.

Depending on the method of processing after harvest, a distinction is made between white and red ginseng. In the case of the latter, the freshly harvested roots are treated with steam for preservation and only then dried. Despite these differing processing methods, the roots hardly differ in their constituents or effects. The main constituents of the ginseng root are ginsenosides, which belong to the saponin group. It also contains fatty acids, enzymes, amino acid-like compounds, polyacetylenes, polysaccharides, vitamins A, B1, B2 and C, a small amount of essential oil, minerals and trace elements. Korea Ginseng Bios Capsules contain 90 mg of dry extract from ginseng root (3–5:1) in a soft gelatine capsule. Description of raw material The dry extract is produced from ginseng roots of certified quality; following extraction with alcohol, it is encapsulated in soft gelatine capsules with small amounts of maltodextrin and highly dispersed silicon dioxide.
