Used for millennia, ginseng is now recognized worldwide for its benefits on fatigue, mental function, and physical function. This precious and demanding plant to cultivate draws its strength from its root, rich in active compounds called ginsenosides.
The Nutrimea brand has developed a food supplement based on red and white ginseng, formulated to offer a complete and balanced action.
Ginseng: a botanical treasure
What is ginseng?
Ginseng, scientifically known as Panax ginseng, is a plant native to East Asia, primarily cultivated in China, Korea, and certain regions of Siberia.
Ginseng belongs to the Araliaceae family. It grows slowly, in shaded areas, on rich and well-drained soils. Its fleshy root is the part used for its many properties.
Ginseng plant: what does it look like, and how do you recognize it?
Ginseng is a perennial plant that can reach between 30 and 60 centimeters in height. It develops a straight, thin stem topped with a cluster of palmate leaves. In summer, it produces small greenish flowers, then red berries in autumn.
But what gives ginseng its value is its root, which develops slowly; it takes 4 to 6 years before it can be harvested at maturity.
White ginseng vs. Red ginseng: what's the difference?
Ginseng primarily exists in two forms, which are distinguished not by their botanical species (it is always Panax ginseng) but by their preparation method after harvest. This distinction influences the properties, active compound concentration, and traditional use of the final product.
White ginseng
White ginseng is obtained by simply cleaning and air-drying the fresh root, without cooking it. This process preserves the natural structure of the root and limits chemical transformations.
- Appearance: light beige, dry, rather hard root
- Properties: considered gentler, more balanced, ideal for daily use
- Active ingredients: contains ginsenosides, but in a slightly lower proportion than heat-treated red ginseng
Red ginseng
Red ginseng, on the other hand, undergoes a steaming process before being dried. This transformation modifies its molecular structure, improves its preservation, and increases the bioavailability of some of its active compounds.
- Appearance: reddish-brown root, more supple, slightly shiny
- Properties: more commonly used in Asian tradition
- Active ingredients: on average richer in ginsenosides, especially those resulting from thermal transformation
A valuable complementarity
Rather than opposing white ginseng and red ginseng, Nutrimea's formula relies on a synergy between the two. By combining a concentrated white ginseng extract with organic red ginseng, the supplement offers a balance, ensuring the effectiveness of the supplement.
Ginseng benefits
Ginseng is recognized for its overall action on vitality, both physical and mental. Used for centuries, it is now supported by scientific research. Here are the main benefits of ginseng, as accepted under European legislation on food supplements.

Ginseng contributes to the functioning of the immune system by supporting the body's natural defenses. It can be used as a supplement during seasonal changes, for example.

Glucose and insulin
Ginseng helps maintain normal blood glucose levels as part of a healthy lifestyle. It also contributes to the normal metabolism of insulin.
Ginseng benefits for men
In men, ginseng is traditionally recognized for its role in sexual function.
