What is ginsenoside Rg3?
Before we introduce ginsenoside Rg3 powder, let’s first know something about Ginseng and ginsenosides.
Ginseng and ginsenosides
Panax Ginseng C.A. Meyer, simply called Ginseng, is one traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea have used it for a long history. The major components playing an important role are kinds of ginsenosides, which exist in the whole ginseng herb, including root, stem, and leaf. So far, people have identified and isolated more than 40 kinds of ginsenosides.
According to the difference in carbon skeletons, ginsenosides are divided into the dammarane family and the oleanane family. The dammarane family also includes two major groups: protopanaxadiols and protopanaxatriols. For example, ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rg3, Rh2, and Rh3 belong to protopanaxadiols; Rg1, Rh1, and Rg2 belong to protopanaxatriols.
Ginsenoside Rg3 is rich in Korean red ginseng, which is obtained by steaming Panax ginseng root. Even so, the content of ginsenoside Rg3 is still a tiny amount in red ginseng root. There are two epimers 20(R)-Ginsenoside Rg3 and 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3. Ginsenoside Rg3 structure as below:
20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3
Cas No.: 14197-60-5
Molecular Formula: C42H72O13
Molecular Weight: 785.025g/mol
20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3
Cas No.:38243-03-7
Molecular Formula: C42H72O13
Molecular Weight: 785.025g/mol
What are the differences between 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3 and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3?
- 20(S) -Ginsenoside Rg3 has better solubility than 20(R)-Ginsenoside Rg3
- Ginsenoside Rg3 can suppress tumor growth and angiogenesis, and 20(S)-ginsenoside exhibits a better effect than 20(R) form, whereas 20(R) form performs a better function on invasion and metastasis of cancer cells.
FAQ:
(1)How do you produce your ginsenoside Rg3?
Unlike regular production technology extracting ginsenoside Rg3 from red ginseng root, we manufacture it by unique enzymatic conversion technology from ginseng stem and leaf. Ginsenoside Rd is deglycosylated to form ginsenoside Rg3. This new technology was awarded for scientific and technological advancement by the local government. Our advanced technology not only creates high concentrated ginsenoside Rg3 but also reduces cost much.
(2)What other ginseng extract specifications do you offer?
Ginseng Stem&Leaf Extract 5%-80% ginsenosides by UV
Ginseng Stem&Leaf Extract 5%-45% ginsenosides by HPLC
Ginseng Root Extract 1%-40% ginsenosides by HPLC
(3)What standard of pesticide residue does your ginsenoside Rg3 conform to?
We can offer all versions of ginsenosides, the pesticide residue meeting CP2015, USP<561>, EC<396>. Most important, we can provide ginsenosides with PESTICIDES FREE, which is produced by our unique pesticide residue removal process.
(4)Where to buy bulk ginsenoside Rg3 powder?
Wuxi Cima Science Co., Ltd is a unique pesticide-free ginsenoside Rg3 manufacturer in China. Our ginsenosides Rg3 are produced in a GMP facility, with quality certificates Halal and Kosher, which could pass through pesticide residue tests by US FDA and customs.
