Korean Ginseng 4000mg with Vitamin B6 and Zinc 180 Tablets

An Important Note on Ginseng Source, Plus a Missing Warning

Each 2-tablet serving provides 4000mg of Korean ginseng equivalent from 80mg of 50:1 extract, alongside vitamin B6 (0.42mg) and zinc (3mg), both with EFSA-recognised roles in normal immune function and reduced tiredness and fatigue. As covered in more detail in our complete Korean ginseng guide, it’s worth knowing something the marketing description doesn’t specify: this product’s ginseng extract is derived from the leaves of Panax ginseng, not the root. Most Korean ginseng research — including much of what’s covered in our guide — is based specifically on root extract, since ginsenoside content and profile differs meaningfully between root and leaf. This doesn’t mean leaf extract has no relevant compounds, but it’s a genuine reason not to assume root-based research findings transfer directly to this specific product.

This product’s own label includes a warning not reflected anywhere in its marketing description: it’s not recommended for people under antidiabetic treatment. This is consistent with genuine research showing ginseng can affect blood glucose levels — if you take diabetes medication, this product isn’t appropriate without your GP’s direct involvement, given the risk of an additive effect on blood sugar.

Korean ginseng is classified as an adaptogen, with traditional and ongoing research interest in mental and physical resilience — our full guide covers the evidence in more detail, including corrections on some commonly overstated claims around menopause and fertility that don’t specifically apply to this product’s marketing but are worth knowing if you encounter them elsewhere.
