Panax genus, belonging to the Araliaceae (ivy) family, is renowned for its rich medicinal properties, particularly the saponins known as ginsenosides and gintonin. Notable species like Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng), and Panax japonicus (Japanese ginseng) are extensively studied for their health benefits. These species are celebrated for their complex mix of phytochemicals including flavonoids, polysaccharides, and essential oils, contributing to their diverse therapeutic applications. Ginsenosides, the key active compounds, vary among species and offer distinct benefits; for instance, Asian ginseng is energizing, while American ginseng is milder and used to boost immunity and regulate blood sugar. Unlike other herbs labeled as ginseng, Panax varieties contain genuine ginsenosides, enhancing their value in traditional and modern medicine.
