Ginseng, Chinese Red

Chinese red ginseng is the root of Panax ginseng that has been steamed and dried after harvest, a process that turns the root reddish-brown and alters its ginsenoside profile. Nustras supplies Chinese red ginseng as whole and sliced dried root, milled powder and standardised extract powder for the botanical supplement, functional food and beverage trades.

It is formulated into herbal capsules and tablets, botanical blends, tinctures and liquid botanical preparations, herbal teas, functional beverages and energy drink mixes, and confectionery.

The dried root is a hard, translucent reddish-brown root with a characteristic odour and a bitter-sweet taste; the powder is light brown and the extract a brown powder. Identity is confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic examination or by HPTLC against a reference, with total ginsenoside content standardised to specification by HPLC. Heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Chinese red ginseng in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Panax ginseng root is an accepted botanical ingredient in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the permitted preparation, level and claim for their application.
