“American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) root was once worth its weight in gold. Entrepreneurial Jesuit missionaries cultivated and exported the herb from North America to China in large amounts during the 18th century, selling it for an extraordinary profit. At that time, little was known about the herb except that Native Americans were using it to treat nausea and vomiting.”

“American ginseng may be what the body needs when it is under stress. It is well known as an adaptogen – an herb that helps the body adapt to stressful conditions, changing temperatures and fatigue. It can energize when the body experiences tiredness and tranquilize when the body is under stress. By regulating the body’s production of stress hormones and protecting the brain’s hippocampus from the effects of stress hormones, the substances in American ginseng greatly reduce stress reactions.” American ginseng is a revered herb known to promote energy as well as support the immune system.

“There is still a lot more research to do on American ginseng. This powerful plant food has long been overshadowed by Asian ginseng. However, with a perfect package [of phytochemicals] and polysaccharides, American ginseng is becoming more promising for achieving and maintaining good health-A Nutritional Immunologist’s dream” (Chen, Jau-Fei, PhD.

“The apple was considered by ancient Egyptians to be both food and medicine. You may have heard of the old adage, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ This could be because the apple is very high in fiber. The pectin in an apple swells when it comes into contact with water, which is why you feel full when you drink water after eating an apple. As it is highly nutritious, the apple is seen as an ideal food for weight control” (Chen, Jau-Fei, PhD. (2004) Enjoying Health and Longevity with Nutritional Immunology). *

Asian ginseng has long been considered the “king of herbs” throughout the world. Its prominence is evident in early Chinese history. It is a rare plant that is only harvested after a long growing time.

Its root needs at least 6-8 years before harvesting. In ancient times, people believed ginseng root to be the crystallized essence of earth formed in the shape of a man. Thus, they thought it had supernatural powers. Ginseng grows all over the world, but only a few areas can produce high-quality ginseng. The ginseng root used in our Ji-Lin Ginseng is harvested from the northern providence of China.

It is a high-quality premiere grade product which is carefully reviewed and tested to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. Ginseng was included in the first great Chinese herbal work, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica), as an herb used for “enlightening the mind and increasing the wisdom.” Ginseng, a popular herb which has been widely used in the Orient for over 5,000 years, was the subject of a research review conducted by Japanese pharmacologists in 1985 which confirmed homeostasis (balance) promoting properties. Ginseng has been used to support circulation and energy levels.

Soviet ginseng researcher Dr. Brekhman of the Soviet Academy of Sciences calls ginseng an “adaptogen.” He uses this term for herbs which not only help to maintain balance in the body, but which also help the body cope with stress and enhance its natural endurance. *

Cactus is also highly regarded in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Written during the Qing Dynasty, Beng Cao Gang Mu Shi Yi (A Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica) recorded that cactus has a mild taste and is cold in nature, can promote the flow of qi (vital energy)…” “Moreover, it is low in calories and sodium. The excellent nutritional value of cactus is recognized across different cultures around the world. The cactus fruit has a prickly exterior. Apart from its rarity, the cactus fruit is difficult to harvest and requires a long growing period. Like the cactus, the cactus fruit needs a minimum of four years to grow and ripen before its nutrients can be tapped. Cactus has a long history of use as an ornamental plant and as food. Despite its prickly exterior, cactus has soft and succulent flesh and is very rich in phytochemicals and minerals. It is very important to choose the right species and right parts of the cactus. Within the thick, waxy cuticle of the cactus stem, for example, there is a thick membrane that helps prevent water loss from the cactus. Consuming this membrane in large amounts produces a laxative effect. Once cactus gel has been isolated from the interior of the cactus, it must be filtered to remove the seeds and cellulose and then processed into liquid form. Upon removal, the gel of the cactus oxidizes rapidly. Therefore, processing must take place immediately after the gel as been extracted from the cactus to produce the purest and most delicious extract possible. Even the harvesting hour can be critical. Research shows that it is best to harvest cactus pads earlier in the day because the acidity is the lowest at that time, which is better for health. During processing, it is best to avoid overheating cactus. Excessive heat may reduce nutrient content and degrade fiber content. Ample knowledge and skilled technique are needed to process cactus through a series of complex steps before it can be eaten. Plus, it has to be done quickly and carefully to maintain optimal nutritional value. After removing the spines and skin, the cactus gel has to be quickly filtered to remove unwanted substances. The cactus gel has to further undergo particle filtration, microfiltration and ultrafiltration before it is clean, pure, concentrated, and easily absorbed by the human body”.*

“High up in the mountains of China grows one of the most valued mushrooms: Cordyceps sinensis. Growing in trying conditions has endowed Cordyceps sinensis with resilient qualities, and eating it can increase one’s vigor and tenacity. For centuries, Cordyceps sinensis has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to improve respiratory health and nourish the kidneys. According to the book Beng Cao Cong Xin (New Compilation of Materia Medica). Written during the Qing Dynasty, Cordyceps sinensis helps to protect the lungs and is beneficial for the kidneys. It replenishes vital energy, helps to stop bleeding, and reduces phlegm. It also helps to relieve cough and ease swallowing. Cordyceps sinensis has long been regarded to possess capabilities to nourish the body and promote longevity.” “Wild cordyceps grows in mountainous regions, at an altitude of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level, and can only be harvested during the rainy season. Moreover, cordyceps is very hard to find; one has to keep one’s face close to the ground to be able to spot it. These harsh growth conditions make wild cordyceps difficult to collect. Despite a huge market demand for it, wild cordyceps is extremely rare and cannot be cultivated. Hence, cordyceps is very expensive. The quality of cordyceps available for sale also tends to vary widely, and the market is flooded with counterfeit cordyceps. However, the general public is unable to differentiate the authenticity and quality of cordyceps. In recent years, the market has been filled with cordyceps contaminated by heavy metals in the soil of producing areas as well as cordyceps with lead inserted into it to increase weight and boost profits. These situations pose dangerous health threats to consumers.” “The mycelium of Cordyceps sinensis can be cultivated. This is made possible by separating the mycelia from wild Cordyceps sinensis and culturing them under proper conditions. The mycelium acquired through this method has considerable nutritional value. Only cordyceps mycelium of certain verified species of cordyceps shares similar nutritional value with Cordyceps sinensis. Of over 400 species of cordyceps, only about 10 species have nutritional value, and different species have different nutritional value. The nutritional value of cordyceps is determined by the amount of cordycepin (a polysaccharide) it contains; there is little health benefit if the level of cordycepin is too low. Therefore, only cordyceps strains whose species, source and cordycepin concentration have been authenticated are of premium quality and have high nutritional value”.*

Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice). As a cereal grain, domesticated rice is the most widely consumed staple food for over half of the world’s human population, particularly in Asia and Africa. Rice is cooked by boiling or steaming, and absorbs water during cooking. Rinsing rice before cooking removes much of the starch, thereby reducing the extent to which individual grains will stick together. This yields a fluffier rice, whereas not rinsing yields a stickier and creamier result. Cooked short-grain white rice provides 540 kilojoules of food energy and contains moderate amounts of B vitamins, iron, and manganese.*
