Natural Factors Panax Ginseng 100 mg 60 Softgels

Panax ginseng is one of the most extensively researched herbal adaptogens in the world. It's traditionally used to support energy, mental performance, concentration, and resilience during periods of physical or mental stress. This extract is standardized to 10% ginsenosides—the naturally occurring compounds believed to be responsible for many of ginseng's studied effects.

One thing that's easy to miss is that not all ginseng is actually the same plant that the Wu Tang Clan choose to sippidy sip. Panax ginseng (often called Korean or Asian ginseng) is different from American ginseng and Siberian ginseng. Siberian ginseng isn't technically a true ginseng at all—it's a completely different botanical called Eleutherococcus senticosus. If someone simply says "ginseng," Panax is generally the variety most people are referring to because it's the one with the strongest body of research behind it.

If you've ever listened to Wu-Tang Clan's Triumph and wondered why they rap about "sippin' on ginseng," that's the plant they're talking about. No, they weren't making herbal tea recommendations—but Panax ginseng has been valued for centuries as a premium herb, so it ended up woven into pop culture too. It's one of those supplements that's surprisingly easy to remember once you hear that line, and honestly... that's a little aura.
