A slow-cooked concentrate of 6-year Ontario-grown Canadian red ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). Dense, dark, and potent a small serving delivers the bioactive compounds of a much larger quantity of whole root. Contains ginsenoside Rg3. No additives. 100g jar.

A Different Format Entirely

Concentrate is not a powder, not a capsule, and not a dried root. It is produced by steaming 6-year Panax quinquefolius roots and then slow cooking them over an extended period until the water content is reduced to a thick, dark paste. The result is the most potent and most traditional processed form of red ginseng used in East Asian households for generations as a daily tonic taken directly by the spoonful or dissolved in warm water.

Why 6-Year Roots Matter

Ginsenosides the primary bioactive compounds in Panax quinquefolius accumulate in the root over time. A root harvested at 6 years has had the maximum growing period to develop its full ginsenoside profile under Ontario's cool climate and mineral rich soil. The ginseng industry recognizes 6-year roots as the premium harvest standard. Younger roots yield lower ginsenoside concentrations. Every batch of this concentrate is produced exclusively from 6-year Ontario-grown roots.

Ginsenoside Rg3 Unique to Red Ginseng

Ginsenoside Rg3 does not exist in fresh or air-dried ginseng root. It is formed only during the steaming step of red ginseng production, through heat induced transformation of other ginsenosides. It is one of the most studied individual ginsenosides and is a marker compound that distinguishes red ginseng from all unprocessed ginseng forms. Its presence in this concentrate confirms the steaming process was applied to the source roots.

How to Take It

Method Instructions
Direct Take 1 teaspoon (approx. 5g) directly from the jar. The concentrate has a naturally bitter, earthy flavour.
Dissolved in Warm Water Stir 1 teaspoon into a cup of warm water or herbal tea until fully dissolved.
With Honey Mix with a small amount of honey to balance the natural bitterness.

Refrigerate after opening. Store in a cool, dry place before opening.

Clinical Research

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) reduces postprandial glycemia in nondiabetic subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Archives of Internal Medicine, 2000

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial by Vladimir Vuksan at the University of Toronto one of the world's leading researchers on Panax quinquefolius examined the effects of Canadian grown American ginseng on postprandial blood glucose in both non-diabetic subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes. The study found that Panax quinquefolius significantly reduced postprandial glycemia compared to placebo in both groups, with the effect attributed to ginsenosides modulating glucose absorption and insulin sensitivity. This is one of the foundational clinical studies establishing the bioactivity of Ontario-grown Panax quinquefolius ginsenosides directly relevant to the ginsenoside profile of this Ontario grown red ginseng concentrate.

Ginsenoside Rg3: a systematic review of its pharmacological effects

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012

This systematic review examined the pharmacological properties of ginsenoside Rg3 the marker ginsenoside formed during red ginseng steaming and a key compound in this concentrate. The review comprehensively documented Rg3's biological activities including antioxidant properties, immune modulating effects, and effects on cellular signalling pathways. The review confirmed that Rg3 is formed specifically during the heat processing step of red ginseng production and is not present in unprocessed white ginseng establishing Rg3 as the defining marker compound of red ginseng processing. The findings directly support the significance of the steaming process used to produce this red ginseng concentrate and the relevance of Rg3 as a quality marker.

Effect of root age on ginsenoside content of North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2003

This study examined how root age affects ginsenoside content and diversity in Panax quinquefolius (North American / Canadian ginseng) directly addressing the rationale for using 6 year old roots in this concentrate. The study found that ginsenoside content and diversity increase significantly with root age in Panax quinquefolius, with older roots containing higher concentrations of Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, and Rg1 ginsenosides. The findings directly support the use of 6 year old Ontario grown roots as the premium maturation stage for Panax quinquefolius ginsenoside content confirming that root age is a critical quality determinant for Canadian ginseng and validating the 6 year cultivation cycle used for this concentrate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Canadian Red Ginseng Concentrate and what is it made from?

Canadian Red Ginseng Concentrate is a traditional-style concentrated paste made from 6-year-old Ontario-grown Canadian ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) roots. The roots are steamed and then reduced under controlled heat to remove water, producing a thick, honey-like paste that delivers a concentrated serving of naturally occurring ginsenosides including ginsenoside Rg3. Single ingredient no additives, fillers, or preservatives. Vegan. Ontario grown. 240g jar providing approximately 120 to 240 servings at 1 to 2g per serving.

What is the difference between red ginseng and white ginseng?

White ginseng is produced by drying fresh ginseng roots without steaming. Red ginseng is produced by steaming fresh roots at controlled temperatures before drying. The steaming step triggers chemical transformations in the ginsenoside profile converting certain ginsenosides and producing unique compounds including ginsenoside Rg3 that are not present in unprocessed white ginseng. Red ginseng has a darker colour, a more complex ginsenoside profile, and a distinctly different flavour compared to white ginseng. This concentrate uses red ginseng processing steamed and then reduced to a concentrated paste preserving the full red ginseng ginsenoside profile.

What is ginsenoside Rg3 and why is it associated with red ginseng?

Ginsenoside Rg3 is a naturally occurring saponin compound found in ginseng root. It is formed during the steaming step of red ginseng processing a heat-induced transformation of other ginsenosides that does not occur in unprocessed white ginseng. Rg3 is one of the most studied ginsenosides in the scientific literature and is considered a marker compound for red ginseng quality and processing.Panax quinquefoliusnaturally contains a broad spectrum of ginsenosides including Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, Rg2, and Rg3 with Rg3 content enhanced by the steaming process used to produce red ginseng.

Why are 6 year old roots used for this concentrate?

Root age directly affects ginsenoside content and diversity inPanax quinquefolius. Six years is a commonly valued maturation stage at which ginsenoside diversity and concentration are well developed younger roots contain fewer and less diverse ginsenosides. Growing Panax quinquefolius for a full 6-year cultivation cycle requires significantly more time, land, and resources than shorter cycles, which is why 6 year roots command a premium in the ginseng market. This concentrate uses exclusively 6-year old roots harvested after a full 6-year cultivation cycle in Ontario, Canada

Why is Ontario, Canada a premium source for Panax quinquefolius?

ntario, Canada is one of the world's primary growing regions forPanax quinquefolius(American ginseng). The cool climate with distinct seasons cold winters and warm summers supports slow, steady root development over the full 6-year cultivation cycle. This climate produces roots with a distinctive ginsenoside profile that is recognized in global ginseng markets.

How do I use Canadian Red Ginseng Concentrate?

Take 1 to 2g (approximately ½ teaspoon) per serving. It can be taken directly from the jar, dissolved in a cup of warm (not boiling) water, mixed with honey or maple syrup to improve palatability, or blended into warm milk or a smoothie. Start with a smaller amount and adjust as desired. The 240g jar provides approximately 120 to 240 servings at 1 to 2g per serving. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medications, or have a medical condition.
