American Ginseng Extract INCI Name Panax quinquefolius extract CAS 090045-38-8 Panax quinquefolium extract Ginsenosides photo picture image Glycoside content of the plant is believed to be responsible for the herb's stress response.

 The main active ingredients of Ginseng (American and Korean) are the more than 20 saponin triterpenoid glycosides called "ginsenosides". Another major difference between American and Panax Ginseng is that the American Ginseng is rich in the Rb1 group of ginsenosides, which have a more sedative and metabolic effect on the central nervous system. Korean Ginseng is higher in the Rg1 group of ginsenosides, which are more arousing and stimulating. American Ginseng (Rb1 ginsenosides) is also believed to increase stamina and learning ability, and has been used historically for stress, fatigue characterized by insomnia, poor appetite, nervousness and restlessness.

 Like Panax ginseng, American ginseng contains dammarane type ginsenosides as the major biologically active constituents. Dammarane type ginsenosides includes 2 classifications: the 20(S)-protopanaxadiol [ppd] and 20(S)-protopanaxatriol [ppt] classifications. American ginseng contains high levels of Rb1, Rd (ppd classification) and Re (ppt classification) ginsenosides -- higher than that of P. ginseng in one study.

 Standardized extracts of American ginseng root contain: 4-5% ginsenosides. The Swiss Pharmacopoeia requires ginseng roots to contain at least 2% ginsenosides while the German standard license requires only 1.5% or more.Triterpene saponins known as ginsenosides at least 31 different ones have been identified including 7 ginsenosides used as marker compounds for Panax species, which include Asian and American ginseng; Sesquiterpenes; Polyacetylenes And Polysaccharides;
