GS15-4® is an enzyme-fermented Panax ginseng from Ilhwa, processed so the ginsenosides are pre-converted into the metabolite forms (such as compound K) the body normally has to make in the gut. This fermentation is designed to dramatically improve absorption of ginseng's actives.

Studied Dose Around 165 mg of fermented ginseng extract per day.
Active Compound Enzyme-fermented Panax ginseng standardized for metabolized ginsenosides (compound K / IH901), for enhanced absorption.
