Red ginseng, also known as the «root of longevity» or «root of heaven,» is traditionally considered to be a divine plant said to have the power to relieve all ailments.

Native to Korea, this plant is highly prized for its energizing properties and the benefits it provides. It has been used for over 4,000 years to treat all kinds of ailments: injuries, improving the health of older adults, making warriors stronger, and even improve fertility.

Red ginseng is even considered one of the most effective natural medicinal plants, according to its health claims certified by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).

So, what’s the difference between red ginseng and white ginseng? Visually, there’s no difference. The difference lies in the age at which the root is harvested (4 years for white ginseng, 6 years for red ginseng). The difference is significant in terms of their benefits:

• Benefits of white ginseng: balancing, soothing, and relaxing.
• Benefits of ginseng: stimulating and invigorating.

Did you know? Ginseng enhances the effects of stimulants (taurine, caffeine, etc.). We therefore advise against consuming it in the evening.
