What is it?
Panax ginseng, also called Asian or Korean ginseng, is one of the most famous herbs in the world. It has a long history in traditional Asian herbal practice.
Most ginseng products use the root. SodaPower lists Panax Ginseng Aerial Extract. “Aerial” means the parts that grow above the ground: the leaves and stems. The aerial parts are used less often, and they contain a somewhat different mix of natural compounds than the root.
What does research say?
Ginseng has been studied for tiredness and for men's sexual function, and it is a favorite for daily energy.
SodaPower uses the aerial extract, made from the leaves and stems, which comes from the same plant as the classic root.
How much do studies use?
Studies of ginseng root often use around 1 to 3 grams a day. SodaPower uses a liquid aerial extract, taken as 1 to 2 droppers a day, ideally in the morning.
