Buy Ginseng – Standardised Root Extracts with Ginsenosides

Ginseng refers to the root of plants from the Panax genus, above all Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer). Botanically it belongs to the ginseng family (Araliaceae); its characteristic constituents are the ginsenosides – a group of secondary plant compounds from the saponin class. In this category, you'll find ginseng supplements from Scheunengut as standardised extracts, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Traditionally, ginseng comes from East Asia, where the root is cultivated over several years and then dried. For supplements, the root is gently processed into a concentrate that is standardised to a defined ginsenoside content.

Standardisation & Format

What matters is the standardised ginsenoside content as well as the extract ratio – high-quality raw materials often state a ratio of 20:1 and around 20% ginsenosides. Ginseng is available as capsules, powder or drops and is often combined with other plant-based raw materials such as ashwagandha or cordyceps.

Häufige Fragen zu Ginseng

What do people value ginseng for?

Ginseng, particularly Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), is one of the best-known roots in Far Eastern herbal lore. Traditionally, it's valued as a classic adaptogen and has been held in high regard across East Asia for centuries. Characteristic of ginseng are its ginsenosides, a distinctive group of plant saponins that define the value of this root, which takes several years to cultivate.

What are ginsenosides and why are they so important?

Ginsenosides are ginseng's characteristic secondary plant compounds and belong to the saponin class. They're regarded as marker compounds, against which the quality of an extract can be measured. High-quality ginseng supplements are therefore standardised to a defined ginsenoside content, so every serving delivers a consistent level of active compounds.

What should I look for when buying ginseng?

The key factors are the standardised ginsenoside content and the extract ratio, such as 20:1, which shows how much root material goes into each serving. Also look for transparent origin details and verified purity. Our ginseng extracts are lab-tested, vegan and free from unnecessary additives, so you get genuine concentrates rather than plain powder filler.

What forms does Scheunengut offer ginseng in?

With us, you'll find ginseng as standardised root extracts, usually in convenient capsule form. The advantage of an extract over plain root powder: it's calibrated to a fixed ginsenoside content and therefore particularly high-yielding. This gives you a concentrated, easy-to-dose supplement made from gently processed Panax root.
