Vitality Capsules

Pharmaton is the only product range that combines the benefits of the standardised Ginseng G115® with other essential ingredients such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Ginseng is not all the same

Within the plant genus Panax there are several species, all of which have different properties and the most studied with pharmacological trials is the specie Panax Ginseng, contained in Pharmaton® Vitality Capsules.

Eleutherococcus senticosus (also called Siberian Ginseng) belongs to the same family (the Araliaceae) and shares some common traits with Panax Ginseng, the Asian Ginseng.

G115® is made from the fine rootlets of the plant Panax Ginseng. This delicate plant is cultivated in China and Korea by specialist farmers. It’s grown indoors from the best selected seeds. After 18 months the plant is re-planted outdoors then when it’s five years old it is harvested and dried. Samples of the roots are sent to Pharmaton in Switzerland and the rootlets are tested for a high content of active ingredients, the ginsenosides. If satisfactory, the crop is purchased and the extraction process starts. 

The fine Panax Ginseng rootlets undergo Pharmaton´s unique, low-temperature, extraction process involving more than 20 stages. A precise balance of ginsenosides is created by blending batches so that the finished extract precisely matches a set pattern (standardisation). As a result, every Pharmaton® Vitality Capsule contains the same quantity of the same ginsenosides as every other capsule. The special extraction process has never been published, and is used exclusively by Pharmaton®, but it gives you just what you need to help reduce tiredness and Daily Fatigue.
