Four Prong Herbs’ Genuine Wild American Ginseng Powder: Lab-tested for quality

Updated: Mar 14

16.4% Total Ginsenosides in Our Wild American Ginseng Powder


When you buy ginseng, you’ll see a lot of words like premium and powerful—but the most meaningful question is simple:


What’s the ginsenoside content?


Ginsenosides are the signature compounds most often measured when labs and researchers compare ginseng materials for quality and consistency. That’s why we had our wild American ginseng powder (Panax quinquefolius) tested with a dedicated Ginsenosides Panel using UPLC.



The headline: 165 mg/g total ginsenosides (16.5%)



Our lab report shows:


✅ Total Ginsenosides: 164 mg/g

➡️ That equals 16.4% total ginsenosides by weight


For context, published research on ginseng roots commonly reports total ginsenosides in the tens of mg per gram depending on the sample and source—so a result in the hundreds of mg/g is exceptional. (And many “standardized” products still only guarantee single-digit percentages.)



What’s inside the 16.4%: our ginsenoside profile (mg/g)



Total ginsenosides matter, but the distribution matters too. Here are the primary ginsenosides quantified on our panel:


  • Rb1 — 61.84 mg/g

  • Re — 53.82 mg/g

  • Rc — 22.17 mg/g

  • Rd — 14.47 mg/g

  • Rg1 — 6.645 mg/g

  • Rb2 — 3.165 mg/g

  • Rg2 — 1.534 mg/g



Rb1 + Re make up about 70% of the total, which is a strong “core ginsenoside” backbone.



Ratios: a simple way to describe the profile



Researchers often look at ratios because they act like a quick “fingerprint” for how a ginseng material is balanced.


  • Rb1:Rg1 ≈ 9.31

  • Rg1:Re ≈ 0.12



You don’t need to be a chemist to understand what that means: this powder is heavily loaded with the major ginsenosides and shows a consistent, measurable pattern.



What that means for you



If you care about ginseng potency you can actually verify—not just marketing language—this is exactly what you want to see:


✅ High total ginsenosides (16.4%)

✅ Strong levels of key majors (Rb1, Re, Rc, Rd)

✅ A defined profile you can compare batch-to-batch


We believe in transparency, so we publish real lab numbers—because quality should be measurable.
