Asian red ginseng is known by many different names. It is sometimes called Korean red ginseng, Panax ginseng, and Chinese ginseng.
Note that this is different from American ginseng or even Siberian ginseng – these other two types of ginseng provide different health benefits and they serve a different purpose.
Ginseng or Asian ginseng has been used as a type of herbal medicine for thousands of years. It is included in the formulation of VigRX Plus due to its properties as an aphrodisiac and energy booster.
What Does Asian Red Ginseng Look Like?
The Asian red ginseng plant has a straight stem and its leaves grow in a circle around it. It has yellowish green flowers that are umbrella shaped. This plant produces red colored berries.
Ginseng root is usually shaped like the human body (2 arms and 2 legs included). Note the wrinkles that can be found on the plant’s neck. These will help you tell just how old the plant is.
Note that ginseng root cannot be used as a type of medicine until it has grown for 6 years – yes you have to wait and grow the plant that long before you can harvest it for medicinal purposes.
Chinese ginseng and Korean ginseng is practically the same plant. The only difference is the place/country where they were grown.
