The Solgar Korean Ginseng is a dietary supplement in plant capsules, from the plant extracts range of Solgar. Each plant capsule contains 500mg of raw Korean ginseng root powder (Panax ginseng) and 20mg of ginseng root extract in a 4:1 ratio, totaling 520mg of plant material per capsule. The package contains 50 plant capsules.
It is aimed at adults who want to incorporate Korean ginseng into their daily routine in capsule form, rather than decoctions or tinctures. The composition is declared as vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free.
Korean or Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a perennial plant from East Asia, whose root is used. The genus was named Panax from the Greek word panacea, as named by the botanist Carl Anton von Meyer, indicating the plant's place in traditional use. Its characteristic compounds are the ginsenosides, a group of triterpene saponins that differ in proportion depending on the age of the root and its processing.
The formula combines two different forms of the same plant. The raw root powder provides the full spectrum of the plant's components as they are in the plant. The 4:1 extract means that four parts of plant material have been concentrated into one part of extract, so the 20mg of extract corresponds to 80mg of plant material. Health claims for botanicals are under evaluation by the EFSA, so ginseng is described here in terms of what it is, what its active group of compounds is and its standardization, without promising any effect.**
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, Korean ginseng is associated with the following points:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. Ginseng does not have an approved health claim by the EFSA and remains a subject of research, so these references do not constitute a confirmed effect. The producer's presentation does not convey a reference to blood glucose levels, as this is a claim not permitted for dietary supplements with a botanical component.
This is a single-component formula, without vitamins or minerals, so its value is judged by the form and dose of the plant material. The combination of root powder and concentrated extract is a common approach in botanical preparations: the powder retains the full profile of the plant and the extract increases the concentration of characteristic compounds. The dosage is flexible, from one to three capsules per day, so the user can start low.
The capsule shell is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and the only excipients are anti-caking agents, silicon dioxide and vegetable magnesium stearate. The producer declares the product free of sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, dairy, preservatives, artificial flavors or colors, with vegan and Kosher certifications.
It suits adults who know ginseng from traditional use and want a standardized form of it, with declared quantities. It suits those who prefer capsules over decoctions or tinctures, for taste and convenience. It suits vegans and vegetarians, as the whole composition is plant-based. It also suits those who want to regulate their own dose, within the range of one to three capsules.
