About PurGinseng™

100% Panax Ginseng Root Extract

We source PurGinseng™ exclusively from Panax ginseng, which is known for its potent health benefits. This extract delivers the power of ginsenosides, which have been shown to provide stimulant-free mental clarity, physical endurance, stress management, and immune function. Panax ginseng has been used in traditional medicine for over 2,000 years and is known for its warm and energizing properties.

GRAS Affirmed – A First for Ginseng

PurGinseng™ sets a new standard as the first-of-its-kind Panax ginseng ingredient to receive self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). This significant regulatory achievement guarantees the safety and efficacy of PurGinseng™ for use in approved food and beverage applications. Brands can trust the scientific rigor behind this certification, ensuring a seamless path to market. Each lot of PurGinseng™ undergoes rigorous analysis using NMR or HPTLC to ensure purity and detect potential adulteration, produced in a state-of-the-art cGMP facility.

Highly Water Soluble

Unlike traditional ginseng extracts, PurGinseng™ is highly water-soluble, making it versatile across a wide range of applications. Whether you’re formulating ready-to-drink beverages, powders, gummies, or effervescent tablets, PurGinseng™ dissolves easily and integrates flawlessly, ensuring consistency and stability in your products.

Standardized for Potency

Every batch of PurGinseng™ is standardized to contain 8+/- 3% ginsenosides, the active compounds responsible for ginseng’s adaptogenic properties. This consistency ensures that your formulations deliver the same reliable benefits every time.

Key Benefits of PurGinseng™

  • Adaptogenic Properties: Helps manage stress, improves focus, and boosts overall well-being.
  • Cognitive Support: Enhances mental performance and clarity.
  • Physical Endurance: Supports stamina and endurance by enhancing blood circulation and cellular energy, offering a sustained energy boost that is fundamentally different from caffeine in both mechanism and effect.

Market Place

PurGinseng™ vs. American Ginseng
Unlike American ginseng, which is known for its calming and cooling properties, Panax ginseng is categorized as a warm, invigorating adaptogen. However, unlike caffeine, which acts quickly to stimulate the central nervous system, PurGinseng™ supports sustained energy through its influence on cellular metabolism and stress resilience, avoiding the energy spikes and crashes associated with caffeine. This makes PurGinseng™ ideal for boosting energy, mental performance, and physical endurance. With PurGinseng™, you can differentiate your products with a trusted, potent ingredient that provides a clear benefit to your consumers.
