How good the Ginseng capsules are is determined only by the quality of what goes into them. I have found that herbal companies do differ as far as quality goes. Unlike vitamins or minerals, there is no government standard that has to be abided by. Years ago, I went to a lecture on herbs at a well-known grocery store that carried only organic and holistic products. There was a side room where guests could speak. The guest speaker was from an herbal company that carried only herbs, a lot of them grow their own. He told about how his company decided to test various bottles of herbs from other companies to see how they stacked up quality wise to their company. What a Surprise! Some of the bottles did not have the right ingredient in them. People were paying for one thing and getting another. This is not true of all companies; there are some fine ones out there. However, if you know a certain brand name is good for a fact, stay with it. If you are buying ginseng capsules, you want ginseng to be in it and a good quality.

Ginseng simulates energy the active agent that enables this to happen is called Ginsenoside. The potency or quality of the ginseng root and what goes into your ginseng capsules depend on how much Ginsenoside is in it. How and where the ginseng is grown and its age determines the potency. The wild ginseng is considered much better than the cultivated. The roots are usually older and it’s living in a better environment. Ginseng roots should not be harvested until they are at least six years old. An eight-year-old root is better and a ten-year-old root is better yet. The older the root, the higher the percentage of Ginsenoside. Wild seed can be gathered and grown in semi-wild conditions to develop better quality roots. There is only species of American Ginseng, Panax quinquefolius; it has four categories in which it is marketed. Wild roots sell at roughly nine times the price of cultivated. Ginseng likes the mountains and this is the environment where the best quality is grown for a good ginseng capsule. The wild roots can grow to be thirty and forty years old and one that is fifty which is very rare is more precious than gold. It’s very hard to tell the difference between wild simulated ginseng and the true wild but the cultivated is larger with a smooth skin and little or no growth rings. The cultivated is highly fed so; it obtains a quick growth and is usually harvested at the age of three years. This is usually the type found in the ginseng capsules; try to find out how the ginseng has been grown before you buy a bottle. It’s easier to find out over the internet.

Ginseng capsules in bottles can be found in Health food stores, grocery stores, drug stores, department stores, specialty stores and over the internet.
