Ginseng peptides are peptides produced by hydrolyzing proteins from the ginseng plant which belong to the Panax genera. Ginsentides for example, are peptides derived from ginseng which consist of 31 – 33 amino acids.  There are about 13 species of ginseng with the most popular being Panax ginseng. The leaves and roots of ginseng plants have been used both as tea and medicine since medieval times. Research studies had for many years explored and attributed the health benefits of ginseng to its main bioactive compound called ginsenosides. In recent years, attention has been drawn to explore the potential of ginseng peptides due to the increased awareness of the health benefits that come from supplementing one's diet with plant peptides (1, 2). 

Benefits

1. Ginseng peptides are novel dietary peptide supplements, and though not as popular as other plant peptides, they have been proven to be very effective in boosting our health in many ways. Below are some of these benefits.  
2. Antioxidant activities. Ginsentides are very rich in the amino acid cysteine, which the body uses to produce glutathione, a very powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the body cells from destruction by capturing free radicals (bad atoms) that cause excessive oxidation reactions. Oxidative stress is implicated in the development of many diseases like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, inflammatory disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease (3, 4). 
3. Enhances skin health. Ginseng peptides like other dietary peptides, stimulate the production of collagen, the protein that is responsible for giving the skin its elasticity, texture, and bounce. Collagen depletion results in a loss of skin texture and structure evident by wrinkling and sagging of the skin as is seen in aged people (5). 
4. Antifatigue activities. Ginseng peptides have been reported to reduce fatigue during exercise in animal studies which can be beneficial in relieving physical fatigue. They reduce blood lactate levels by increasing the activity of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, which breaks down lactate. They also improve the function of the mitochondria in the skeletal muscle tissues (6). 
5. Lowers blood pressure. Ginseng peptides have anti-hypertensive activities as they are able to lower blood pressure. This is because they can directly widen blood vessels and ease blood flow. They also indirectly lower blood pressure by boosting the concentrations of nitric oxide in the blood, which also exerts a vasodilatory effect on blood vessels (7). 

Nutrimore Ginseng Peptide is a top-quality dietary supplement, produced from the ginseng plant. It is a white powder, packaged in a 20kg bag, with a shelf life of 2 years thanks to its low moisture content (≤7.00) and excellent microbial properties. Besides, it can be easily stored at home: in a cold dry place away from direct sunlight. Moreover, it has a very small molecular weight of 1000 Daltons, making it easy to digest and absorption after consumption. 
Nutrimore Ginseng Peptide can be consumed alone by mixing in a glass of cold or warm water. Thanks to its great solubility, it mixes well in fruit juices, milk, smoothies, and yoghurt. It can also be blended with proteins, vitamins, and vegan collagen (for that added protein enrichment). Additionally, it smells and tastes great, enhancing its acceptability when mixed in other foods and/or drinks. 
Like other dietary supplements, there are no laid down/regulated doses to be consumed. Normally, people consume 1 scoop teaspoon (or 5g) of powdered ginger peptide or 5g per day for a general boost in health. 
Ginseng peptides are a novel and excellent source of dietary peptide supplements that impart many health benefits. It can be regularly consumed for general well-being as well as for specific health needs. Whatever your reason for supplementing, Nutrimore Ginseng Peptide is here for you.
