Red ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is a perennial medicinal plant belonging to the Araliaceae family. Native to Korea, northeastern China, and eastern Russia, red ginseng is produced by steaming and drying fresh ginseng roots, a process that enhances the stability and bioavailability of its bioactive compounds. It is rich in ginsenosides, polysaccharides, polyacetylenes, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, which contribute to its adaptogenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. Red ginseng has been widely used in traditional East Asian medicine and is now a popular ingredient in dietary supplements for promoting overall health and vitality.
