An stress-balancing herbal root extract that helps combat tiredness, support mental clarity, and build stress resilience.
What it is
Ginseng extract comes from the dried roots of Panax ginseng, a traditional Asian plant. It contains natural active compounds called ginsenosides. Ginseng is valued as a stress-balancing herb—a plant extract that helps your mind and body adapt to daily physical and mental demands.
Also known as: Panax ginseng, Korean Ginseng, Asian Ginseng
Key benefits
- Helps reduce feelings of mental fatigue, so you stay focused.

- Assists your body in adapting to everyday stress without jittery feelings.

Amplified by probiotics
Natural ginseng compounds need friendly gut bacteria to reach their full potential. Probiotics produce special enzymes that break down raw ginsenosides into an active form called Compound K. This active form is absorbed much more easily by your gut, giving you the full stress-balancing and energy-supporting benefits of ginseng.
Typical dose
100–400 mg/day
