Buyers’ Guide for high quality American ginseng product:
- 1. Type of ginseng
- Know that there are TRUE and FAKE (FRAUD) ginsengs in the market. Review the list of true and fake ginsengs in our "Consumer Alert". Select the best kind of Panax ginseng for your health.
- 2. Purity of American ginseng
- Ensure the purity of the ginseng product is 100% pure without exception. For instance, if you plan to buy American ginseng root from Wisconsin, you want to be certain of your American ginseng product contains only 100% pure Wisconsin American ginseng
- 3. Amount of ginsenosides
- All the ginseng effects and benefits are attributed by what is now known as ginsenosides (active ingredients). The higher the percentage of ginsenosides, the greater the potency of the ginseng root. Take a look at a comparison chart on "Our Quality" page.
Caveat: Make sure the reported amount of ginsenosides level is obtained from whole ginseng roots only. If you see ginsenosides level at 15% or above on average, these numbers are very likely to be obtained from analyses from ginseng hairs and prongs only.
- 4. Cleanness of American ginseng roots
- Growing American ginseng requires a lot of attention. Due to its extreme susceptibility to diseases, most growers are willing to spray toxic chemicals (e.g. pesticides and fungicides) to protect their ginsengs and investments. Wisconsin ginseng (Panax) roots are generally known for their cleanness due to the strict chemical regulation in Wisconsin. Learn how we produce these chemicals and bacteria FREE (Panax) American ginseng.
Don't compromise your health by consuming contaminated ginseng roots.
- 5. Reliability on American ginseng grower, farm or producer
- With the recent boom in E-commerce, buying (Panax) American ginseng directly from grower is just clicks away. Compare all information you can find from these web sites.
A reliable ginseng farm will show you all ginseng information before you make a purchase. Collect all information you need to compare prices properly. If you are buying American ginseng from any Wisconsin grower, make sure that they display their "Wisconsin Real Seal Emblem" and their own unique ID codes.
Gather the price, ginsenosides percentage content, and weight of product/capsule.
- 6. Correct comparison of ginseng prices
- In order to correctly evaluate different ginseng products, you should compare the price per amount (e.g. g, oz or lb) of ginsenosides. Most Consumers will simply compare prices of the same or similar ginseng products. You could be fooled if the ginseng roots are inferior or less pure (with fillings and other types of fake ginseng).
Example 1:
If you are buying Panax (American) ginseng capsules: please see our illustration in "Our Quality". Make sure there is no other filling in the capsules except 100% pure Panax ginseng powder.
Use the total amount of ginsenosides and divide it by the price per capsule and compare.
Example 2:
If you are buying Panax (American) ginseng whole roots, slices, cuts, powders or teas, first make sure the weight you gather is 100% American ginseng without the packages. You will be surprised how much some of the packages could weight.
For example, say you are buying 4oz of American ginseng (Wisconsin) roots, you are to compare our products with others.
