Complex mixture of dammarane-type ginsenosides (protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol classes). Gut microbiota hydrolyse glycosides to the active aglycones — compound K is the dominant systemic metabolite, varying by microbiome composition. Activities: nitric-oxide-mediated vasodilation (Rg1), cognitive/fatigue endpoints (Rb1, Rg3), modest erectile function improvement. Ginsenoside profile differs from Panax quinquefolius (American) and Panax notoginseng.
