Black Ginseng Extract

What Is Black Ginseng Extract?

Black Ginseng Extract is derived from the root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, a member of the Araliaceae family. It is produced through a traditional multi-step steaming and drying process, in which fresh ginseng roots are repeatedly steamed at high temperature and then dried until the root turns deep black. This process transforms native ginsenosides into rare ginsenosides such as Rg3, Rg5, Rk1, Rh3, and Rh4, while also retaining polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other bioactive compounds. Compared with white ginseng and red ginseng, black ginseng is valued for its enriched profile of rare ginsenosides and stronger bioactivity.
