Ginseng Siberian Root Powder

Ginseng is a popular herbal remedy with a multitude of health-boosting benefits. But not all ginseng is created equal. There are several different types, and two of the most common are Asian ginseng and Siberian ginseng. Although they share the same name, their active ingredients – and so their health properties – vary.

• Siberian ginseng is an excellent source of eleutherosides, an adaptogen that can help the body fight stress by working at a molecular level.
• In traditional Chinese medicine, it's the roots of the plant that are used to make a range of herbal remedies. One of its best-known qualities is that of increasing energy levels and fighting fatigue. But it's also sometimes used to boost memory, for menopausal symptoms and even to improve insulin response in people with diabetes.
• Siberian ginseng is typically the form used in skincare products. This is because the botanical contains a large number of skin-friendly nutrients. It's rich in phytonutrients that help fight the aging impact of free radical damage. It's also thought to be capable of boosting collagen production, keeping skin supple and so minimising fine lines and wrinkles. This form of ginseng is easily absorbed by the skin and can speed up the subcutaneous vascular movement. Through this action, skin becomes brighter and toxins that can dull the complexion are removed.
• It has been used in beverages for its energy-boosting claims.
