Panax ginseng (Korean/Asian ginseng) is the most widely used adaptogenic herb globally, with a 2,000+ year medicinal history in East Asia. Its active compounds — ginsenosides (triterpene saponins, >30 identified) — have diverse pharmacological effects including HPA axis modulation, nitric oxide enhancement, immunomodulation, and neuroprotection [1]. It is distinct from American ginseng (P. quinquefolius) and Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus — not a true ginseng). Clinical evidence supports modest benefits for cognitive function, erectile dysfunction, and immune support [2].
