Ginseng

Ginseng (CAS 50647-08-0) is a botanical extract derived from Panax species roots, commercially supplied as a standardized extract for use across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing.

Its active ginsenoside content drives demand from formulators seeking adaptogenic and antioxidant-active ingredients for finished product applications. In nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, it is incorporated into capsules and tablets.

Standardized ginsenoside levels are a key label claim and quality benchmark for functional beverages. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an active botanical ingredient in OTC energy and cognitive support formulations.

In functional food and nutrition products, it is added to energy bars, teas, and fortified drinks targeting performance and wellness positioning. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into anti-aging serums and creams.

Antioxidant activity supports product efficacy claims in scalp treatments and personal care items. The extract is available as a spray-dried powder, liquid extract, and concentrated paste for industrial use.

Powder is the most common commercial form for supplement manufacturing. Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with specifications typically defined by ginsenoside content standardized to 10%, 20%, or 80%.

Buyers should confirm whether supply is sourced from Panax ginseng or Panax quinquefolius. Botanical origin affects regulatory classification and market positioning for global distribution and compliance.
