sourcing raw materials for over 20 years

More than half of the worldwide ginseng production is grown in China.

The cultivation areas are mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning province which have the most suitable growing environment.

Our american ginseng raw material comes mainly from the Jilin province sourced from trusted producers, based on long term relationship.

We offer this extract of american ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) standardised from 1 to 40% in ginsenosides.

 

sustainable use of the ginseng resource

After harvest, the «root hair» is separated from the main root, then the «root hair» is used as a raw material to produce our extract. The main root is used as a whole, or dropped, for food applications (soup, etc.).

As a result, there is no waste and 100% of the resource is used.
