What is Ginseng

Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer has been used for more than 2,000 years in the Orient. Ginseng is one of the most well-known and valued herbs in Korea, China, and Japan and it is one of the 12 medicinal herbs commonly used in America. Since the late 1960s, many studies have been performed to identify the active ingredients of ginseng and their functions. Clinical studies are still being performed every year adding to the strong scientific evidence of effectiveness of Ginseng for a broad range of health issues. Ginseng is considered an adaptogenic agent which enhances physical performance, promotes vitality, and increases resistance to stress and aging and possesses immunomodulatory activity. The adaptogenic properties of ginseng are believed to be due in part to its effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

In Chinese medicine, ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) has long been used as a general tonic or an adaptogen to promote longevity and enhance bodily functions. It has also been claimed to be effective in combating stress, fatigue, oxidants, and other serious conditions. Most of the pharmacological actions of ginseng are attributed to one type of its constituents, namely the ginsenosides.

Background and History

Ginseng, Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, a precious Chinese traditional medicinal herb, has been known clinically used in China for thousands of years. The genus name 'Panax' was derived from Greek. 'Pan' means 'all' and 'axos' means 'cure'. Literally 'Panax' can be translated as 'cure-all' or panacea. The herbal root is named ginseng because it is shaped like a man. Actually the term 'ginseng' represents two Chinese ideograms: 'gin' (pronounced ren) refers to 'man' and 'seng' (pronounced shen) refers to 'essence' It is believed to embody man's three mythical essences – body, mind and spirit. Thus it is also referred to as the lord or king of herbs. Its medicinal efficacy was first documented in Shengnong Bencao Jing and it was later summarized by Li Shizhen in Bencao Gangmu and Zhongyao Zhi (Chinese Materia Medica) by People's Health Publishing House, Beijing, published in 1596 and 1959 respectively.

In the 18th century, the effectiveness of ginseng was recognized in the West, and subsequently, a large number of investigations were conducted on its botany, chemistry, pharmacology and therapeutic applications.   Ginseng has been used as a general tonic or adaptogen for promoting longevity especially in the Far East, especially China, Korea and Japan.

Ginseng is a deciduous perennial plant that belongs to the Araliaceae family. Currently, twelve species have been identified in the genus Panax. Among them, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (Araliaceae), cultivated in China, Korea, Japan, Russia, and the US, P. quinquefolium L (American ginseng), grown in southern Canada and the US and P. notoginseng, cultivated in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in China, represent the three most extensively investigated species.

Most studies claimed that the pharmacological effects of ginseng are attributed to its bioactive constituents such as ginsenosides, saponins, phytosterols, peptides, polysaccharides, fatty acids, polyacetylenes, vitamins and minerals

Angiogenesis in the human body is regulated by two sets of counteracting factors, angiogenic stimulators and inhibitors. Ilhwa Korean Ginseng Extract Concentrate has the broadest range of Ginsenosides and other bio acitive ingredients having both a 'Yin and Yang' action on the body.

The 'Yin and Yang' action of ginseng on angiomodulation was paralleled by the experimental data showing angiogenesis was indeed related to the compositional ratio between ginsenosides Rg1 and

Rb1. Rg1 and it was later found to stimulate angiogenesis through augmenting the production of nitric oxide (NO) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Mechanistic studies revealed that such responses were mediated through the PI3K→Akt pathway. By means of DNA microarray, a group of genes related to cell adhesion, migration and cytoskeleton were found to be up-regulated in endothelial cells.

These gene products may interact in a hierarchical cascade pattern to modulate cell architectural dynamics which is concomitant to the observed phenomena in angiogenesis.
