About our Ginseng
About
Ginseng (Ren Shen) is one of the most renowned herbs worldwide, celebrated for its long history of use across various cultures. Derived from the roots of the Panax ginseng plant, it has been utilised for centuries to potentially support overall well-being. Our Ginseng capsules provide a convenient and easy way to incorporate this herb into your daily routine, with 500mg of Ginseng per vegan capsule. To explore more about its traditional uses and benefits, especially during colder months, visit our blog on Ginseng: Benefits & Uses During Winter.
If you would prefer the whole root, Ren Shen is also stocked as Dried Sliced Ginseng in 50g and as concentrated granules. It sits alongside our American Ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) Supplement in the capsule range.

Why Choose Vita?
Every herb we sell at Vita Herbal Nutrition is non-sulphur treated and chosen for use in the kitchen and in traditional preparation.
We proudly offer a 100% sulphur-free range of herbs. Many companies use sulphur to improve the appearance and longevity of herbs, but this process can compromise the herb’s natural integrity and may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
We follow the DaoDi principle of choosing each herb from the area traditionally associated with it, and we have worked with the same supply partners since 2010.
