Product Description
Ginseng extract is standardized to ginsenosides, commonly from 10% to 80%, from the root. Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) are different species with different ginsenoside patterns.
Root powder with no assay is also sold. It is a food ingredient, not an 80% extract. Capsules, tablets and shots all exist; the species has to be the one on the label.
When buying, name the species, the ginsenoside percent, and HPLC. A UV “total ginsenosides” number often reads high.

Applications
Shots and Sticks
Bitter at high assay. A root powder drinks differently from an 80% extract.
Root Powder
Order the powder grade on purpose. It will not carry an 80% COA.
Tablets
10% and 80% ginsenosides are different tablets. Species stays on the label either way.
Daily Blends
Do not hide American ginseng under an Asian ginseng name, or the reverse.
Extract Versus Root Powder
Root powder is a food ingredient. It will not carry an 80% ginsenoside COA.
HPLC Ginsenosides
Prefer HPLC. UV totals are easy to inflate.
