Panax Ginseng: Traditional herb for vitality - the science behind Always Bright
Sharing on social media
For thousands of years, Panax Ginseng, also known as Korean or Asian ginseng, has been treasured in traditional Eastern medicine as a means of vitality, energy, and general well-being. It is one of the most researched herbs in the world, and modern science is beginning to unravel the mechanisms behind its reputation. At Always Bright, we have included this powerful herb to help support your daily vitality and mental performance.
Panax Ginseng: The Root of Life Force
Panax Ginseng is distinguished from other plants called “ginseng,” such as American or Siberian ginseng. The term “Panax” comes from the Greek “panakeia,” meaning “all healer,” a hint at its wide range of uses in traditional medicine. It has been used historically to improve endurance, combat fatigue, and increase overall resistance.
The Power of Ginsenosides
The bioactive power of Panax Ginseng is attributed to a unique group of compounds called ginsenosides. Dozens of different ginsenosides have been identified, each with potentially slightly different effects on the body.
Adaptogenic Properties
Like Rhodiola Rosea, Panax Ginseng is often classified as an adaptogen. It helps the body cope with stress by modulating the body’s response to stressors, specifically through the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis). By helping to regulate the cortisol response, Panax Ginseng may help improve stress resistance and prevent the negative effects of chronic stress.
Energy and Cognition
Feeling mentally or physically exhausted? Panax Ginseng is known for its ability to reduce both mental and physical fatigue. Research suggests that it may support energy production in cells and improve blood circulation, including to the brain. This may lead to:
- Increased mental clarity and focus.
- Improved memory and learning ability.
- More physical energy and stamina.

- Fatigue: Significant reduction in both unexplained chronic fatigue and exercise-related fatigue.
- Immune function: Supporting the activity of immune cells.
