Herb Pharm American Ginseng root extract works with the body's natural mechanisms to be a supreme herbal ally for stress & cognitive support.* The root is harvested at the peak of readiness, then carefully shade-dried to retain its full color and aroma prior to extraction. Herb Pharm prepares American Ginseng from the Certified Organic root of Panax quinquefolius plants. Because this herb has been overharvested in its natural habitat, we've partnered with a trusted grower instead of wildcrafting. Using exclusively cultivated Certified Organic roots allows this plant to remain undisturbed in the wild. The root is harvested in its fifth year of growth at its peak, then carefully shade-dried to retain its full color and aroma, and thoroughly extracted. American Ginseng tastes aromatic, slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Add to water or other liquid for easy absorption into the bloodstream. Herb Pharm never uses synthetic solvents. Herb Pharm is the #1 selling liquid herbal extract brand in US (SPINS Natural Channel, Total US, 52 WE 1/29/23).
