There are three most common types of ginseng for health. The most common ginseng is the Asian ginseng, which stimulates and energizes the body. American ginseng is the opposite of Asian ginseng where it calms and soothes the body. Siberian ginseng is actually not a true ginseng because it does not share the same genus with the Asian and American ginseng. However, it also has some benefits.
Asian ginseng consists of the red ginseng or the red Panax, and the white ginseng or the white Panax. White Panax is cheaper and less potent than the red one. Some manufacturers also try to sell Siberian ginseng as Asian ginseng to gain more profit since Siberian ginseng costs less than genuine Asian ginseng.
