Product Description
What is American Ginseng?
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is a wild, native plant of North America and grows primarily in the Northeastern and Midwestern part of the United States of America. The root closely resembles the look of a parsnip, and can grow from 6″ to 18″, usually bearing 3 leaves, each with 3-5 leaflets. The plant is a perennial, and takes 3-5 growing seasons to reach full maturity and be cultivated. American ginseng is highly prized and sought after around the world for their unique taste that is imparted from the rich soil, minerals, and climate found in Marathon County, Wisconsin. It’s noteriety as a “cure-all” root by the Chinese and Native Americans led to the establishment of the cultivated American Ginseng Industry.
Our Story and Our Farm
Family Business
Paul Hsu started his company in 1974 as a mail order business. In 1976, Paul hired his first employee, Ron Sandquist, as his farm manager. In 2011, the Hsu and Sandquist families’ second generation was integrated into the company. Will Hsu and Nick Sandquist now carry on the tradition of growing the highest quality American Ginseng.
Location
Hsu’s currently has over 1,000 acres of prime ginseng farmland available for cultivation. Selecting the right growing conditions for our ginseng farms is very important We pick only certain soil types as ginseng plants prefer loamy, well drained, shady, and humus-rich soil at least 12 inches deep with a high organic content and a pH of 5.5 American Ginseng only thrives in virgin soil In Wisconsin, after the fertile soil has been used for ginseng cultivation, we never use it again for ginseng, only raising other crops. For these special characteristics, American Ginseng grown in other areas of the USA may not look nor taste the same.
Harvesting
In early fall, the seeds are gathered as the stems and leaves of the plant above ground begin to yellow and die off. We roll up and tie open the shade fabric in gardens we do not plan to harvest. For gardens we do plan to harvest, we remove posts, cables, and shade cloth. Just before harvesting, we scrape the beds to remove the straw cover, leaves and stems. Traditionally on smaller farms, a digger is pulled behind a tractor to mechnancially dig each bed so that the roots can be brought to the surface. Roots are harvested by hand off the ground.
Finishing
After the roots are harvested, they are sorted and graded by lot, the roots that are dried are washed and chilled in walk-in coolers for weeks at a time. The last step in the process to take the final dried product from our farm to your door is to sort and grade each root by hand so they can be weighed and packaged. All of or grading and packaging facilities follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Sizes of Capsules
It is important to know what size capsules u are buying. All of our capsules contain American Ginseng powder that come from the roots in our gardens in Marathon County, Wisconsin, USA.

Excellent customer service, excellent product
I read about using ginseng to help with ADHD symptoms on the ADDitude website, where they mentioned this brand’s site as being reputable and effective. I perused their site but was leery of ordering from a site I’d never heard of so I, as usual, came to Amazon.Lo and behold, this exact same item was available here but I was still skeptical. You often hear about counterfeits on here so I decided to call the company directly to double check that this was actually their product. First of all, the call recording offered to connect you to someone in English or in Chinese, which was a good sign. Shortly thereafter I spoke to someone (in English) who was happy to double check Amazon to make sure this was their listing. She had me check the site at the same time so we could verify we were speaking of the same item, which I thought was great, and was able to quickly verify that it was their product. Excellent customer service, thank you.Now on to my review of the ginseng capsules:On first opening the bottle, I noticed that the pills smelled just as I was hoping aka a nice strong but not overpowering ginseng smell. The capsules are on the large side but are easily swallowed. I’ve been taking them for about a month now and have found that they work really well. I noticed increased well being and energy about 20 minutes after I first took them, and have continued to feel the same effects, though not quite as strongly.I still have some left but will be repurchasing shortly so as not to run out inadvertently.

Good I guess
My doctor recommended these to help with some focus issues. I did not notice any difference but that is not a reflection of the product. One element I did like is there is no smell or taste that other brands have.

I sleep so much better!
Before I started taking ginseng, I would wake up after a full night’s rest but not feel rested. I was groggy and tired. Now I take ginseng before bed and wake up ready for the day, I get out of bed when the alarm goes off and get to it instead of burying my head under the pillow. I have heard it’s also great for jet lag. Would highly recommend trying it!

Best Ginseng in the world – please show me better !
It’s made by Hsu, I also met the staff at the Int’l Ginseng Festival – one can tell the energy behind the company and these are very good people. Its ironic that American high quality ginseng is readily available but the mainstream way (even in WI!) is to buy the foreign crap at GNC
