live up to its name in Chinese, which means "man root" , due to the four mature
prongs of the root that resembles the form of a man, which only develop in the
fourth year of growth. When you purchase from NWI Trading Company, you
purchase authentic American grown ginseng, which supports not only the American
Ginseng Farmers of Wisconsin, but also helps thwart supporting and the enabling
of counterfeit American ginseng which is actually grown in China. We feel
it is very important to support the US Ginseng Market, and we are committed to
never purchasing Chinese grown panax quinquefolius. In addition to
counterfeit American Ginseng, there is also a crisis of illegal poaching of both
wild and cultivated ginseng in the USA. When you buy from NWITCO, you are
supporting Wisconsin farmers and the U.S. ginseng market, as you are purchasing
authentic, legally harvested ginseng root which is from a sustainable source,
and does not endanger the panax quinquefolius species in its natural habitat.

Why Cultivated American Ginseng?
American Ginseng is an indigenous plant to North America, however
with wild ginseng also comes over harvesting to the point that American Ginseng
has been put on a watch list as an endangered species. We feel that
providing cultivated root supports the American ginseng industry of Wisconsin
without being a detriment to the panax quinquefolius species in its natural
habitat. We also feel that there are benefits to cultivated ginseng, in
that we are supporting established farmers, and never poachers of potentially
illegally harvested ginseng. To continue reading click here:
