expensive ginseng vs cheap ginseng

ironfistx's Photo ironfistx 08 Dec 2019

Here, I use sometimes these ginseng royal jelly bottles from prince of peace.  These packages are like 30 bottles for $15, so they're like $.50 each, and I take a couple of them if I'm going to use them because 1 doesn't do anything for me.  So that's really $1 per day.  They make me a bit more optimistic, for difficulty of trying to find the phrase.  I have tried various other ginseng products, without royal jelly, and never really noticed the effect people seem to get from ginseng.

 

So then on amazon I find this other product that is $100 for 30 servings.  That's nearly $4 per serving.  What is the difference? https://www.amazon.c...5767600&sr=8-13

Royal jelly is a substance produced by bees to induce development of a queen rather than a worker. It has nothing to do with ginseng.

 

If you are looking for certain active compounds of ginseng, it's probably best to buy a standardized extract which specifically states how much of these compounds are in the product.

 

The most expensive ginseng in China is mainly expensive because of its age and shape (if it looks like a person it's more expensive. Ginseng after all means "man root"). See: https://www.business...-588000-2013-12
