Feeling mentally foggy, physically drained, or struggling to keep up with your daily demands? Vitadefence Panax Ginseng Multi is combines Korean Panax Ginseng (1000 mg equivalent per 2 capsules) with botanicals, vitamins and minerals with a curated blend of botanicals, vitamins, and minerals.

Panax Ginseng, often referred to as Korean or Asian Ginseng, is one of the most well-researched adaptogenic herbs in traditional herbal medicine. The genus name Panax is derived from the Greek word "panacea," meaning "cure-all," reflecting its historical use for promoting vitality and resilience. The plant's characteristic compounds are called ginsenosides. Panax ginseng has a long history of use in traditional Korean and Chinese herbalism.

This product was designed with a clear objective: to provide a holistic, multi-nutrient approach to supporting mental and physical energy without relying on a single high-dose stimulant. The formula combines a well-researched adaptogen (Panax Ginseng) with Bacopa, Ginkgo, L-Theanine and L-Tyrosine, natural caffeine sources (Guarana, Green Tea), and essential vitamins and minerals that are known to contribute to normal energy metabolism and cognitive function. The formula also contains 10 mg black pepper. Each serving also contains 50 mg DHA (from algae) and 37 mg choline.

We focus on what the evidence supports. The vitamins and minerals in this formula carry authorised health claims under the UK Nutrition and Health Claims Register. For example, Vitamin B5 contributes to normal mental performance, Vitamin B12 and Iodine contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function. These are well-established, non-controversial claims.

For the botanicals, we rely on traditional use and emerging clinical literature. Ginkgo biloba is traditionally used for mental fatigue and concentration. Each 2-capsule serving contains 100 mg caffeine and 100 mg L-theanine.

It is crucial to understand that this product does not "cure" or "treat" any medical condition. The evidence supports its role in supporting normal physiological functions when taken as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

For best results, swallow 2 capsules with a glass of water. The manufacturer recommends taking them 45 minutes before food or 90 minutes after food to optimise absorption. Do not exceed 6 capsules per day. As this product contains 100mg of caffeine per serving (equivalent to a strong cup of coffee), we advise taking it earlier in the day to avoid sleep disruption.

Store your Panax Ginseng Multi in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Always check the bottle seal before use and do not use if the seal is damaged. The best before date is printed on the base of the pot.

This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is Kosher and Halal approved. The ingredients include Soy (from Phosphatidyl Serine and Phosphatidyl Choline). For full allergen advice, please see the ingredients in bold on the label.

This product contains 100mg of caffeine per serving. It is not recommended for children or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are sensitive to caffeine, have a medical condition (especially cardiovascular or thyroid-related), or are taking prescription medication, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before use. The high dose of Vitamin B12 (16,000% NRV) is generally considered safe as it is a water-soluble vitamin, but individuals with specific medical conditions should seek professional advice.

For a comprehensive approach to stress resilience and vitality, consider pairing this formula with other adaptogens. Ashwagandha Capsules contain KSM-66 ashwagandha root with ginseng and cordyceps. Maca Root Multi contains maca root with L-arginine, ginkgo and zinc. Siberian Ginseng is a different plant, 400 mg root per capsule.

Can I take Panax Ginseng Multi on an empty stomach?

Yes, the instructions recommend taking it 45 minutes before food or 90 minutes after food, which means an empty stomach is ideal for absorption. However, if you find it causes any discomfort, you can take it with a small meal.

How long does it take to feel the effects?

Some individuals may notice the caffeine and L-Theanine effects within 30-60 minutes.

Is it safe to take with other supplements?

Generally, yes, but we advise caution when combining with other stimulants or high-caffeine products. If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional. You can find complementary products like Ashwagandha Capsules in our range.

Can I take more than 2 capsules for a stronger effect?

The recommended serving is 2 capsules. Taking more than this (up to 6 per day) is possible, but we advise against exceeding the recommended dose due to the caffeine content and the high potency of the B-vitamins. More is not necessarily better.

Does this product contain any artificial additives?

No. The formula uses plant-based ingredients and natural extracts. The capsule shell is made from Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (a plant-based cellulose), and the base is brown rice flour.
