Ginseng berry extract shows promise for Diabetes, Obesity.

An extract from the ginseng berry shows real promise in treating diabetes and obesity, reports a research team from the University of Chicago's Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research. In the June issue of the journal Diabetes, they show that the extract completely normalized blood glucose levels, improved sensitivity to insulin, lowered cholesterol levels, and decreased weight by reducing appetite and increasing activity levels in mice bred to develop diabetes.

Ginseng Plants Start Producing Seeds In Their Second Year and Full Seed Pods In Their 4th Year.  
30 To 35 Berries To The Pod, 2 To 3 Seeds To Berry and Appo. 7200 Seeds To The Pound. Old Rule Of Thumb, 1 Pound Of Seeds Per 100 Plants.

Grow Your Own.
We continue to have emails asking about the ginseng berry pulp powder; our best information at this point is that the best to get the berries is to grow your own  Three Year Old "Glacial Gold" Rootlets Planted This Spring Will Produce Seeds and Pulp This Fall.  Course look at it this way, you have your own supply of the berry pulp (just separate it from the seeds and dry in your home dehydrator) and you have the money from selling your seeds or you can plant them and raise more "Glacial Gold" Ginseng. 
Growers Tip; 
by Michael Hunter 
Owner of Glacial Ginseng Co.
1 Bushel of Ginseng Berries Weights Appo. 65 Pounds and Will Produce 8 Pounds of Ginseng Seed.  It Takes 8 Pounds Of Ginseng Berry Pulp To Produce 1 Pound Of Dried Ginseng Berry Powder and 10 Pounds of Dried Ginseng Berry Powder To Make 1 Pound Of Dried Ginseng Berry Extract.  Every 100 Ginseng Plants Should Produce 1 Pound Ginseng Seeds.

"Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds
 
If you successfully blend 6 or more strains of a plant together , you come up with a new variety of plant and you have the right to name it.  This is what we have done with Our Ginseng Seeds.  Therefore We have named our Variety of Ginseng Seeds "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds.  "Glacial Gold" is our trade-mark, it'd the brand of our Company, and it's a serious way to get these plants back to their original State.  So little cross-breeding  is being done.  The wild plants out here are so scarce and few and far between they're breeding amongst themselves.  Any unisexual plant or animal that inter-breeds with itself, creates a genetic clone.   Each succeeding generation is shortening the life span of the ginseng plant.  Plants that should be living 65 or 70 years are lucky if they can get to live to be 10 years old.  Our goal is to cross breed the heartiest ginseng seed available and create a vibrant ginseng seed that is more tolerant of disease.

"Grower's Tip" Every 100 Ginseng Plants Should Produce 1 Pound Ginseng Seeds. (Appo. 7,200 Seeds) Three Year Old Plants, Planted This Fall,  Should Produce A Full Seed Pod By Next Fall. For Best Results; Make a Seed Bed 4' Wide and 90' Long For Each Pound of "Glacial Gold"™ Ginseng Seed To Be Planted.

The Ginseng Growers Guide by Michael Hunter $12.95
Growers Tip's 
From Michael Hunter
Mice, voles (field mice), moles and slugs can be a problem, they like to eat ginseng seeds and roots.  During the winter, under the mulch and snow, all of the above are active.  The mice like to use mole tunnels to eat ginseng roots and seeds.  Slugs are active year round and given a good food supply (ginseng seeds), they multiply.  Add a wet spring and they can multiply by the millions and eat a seed bed in a short period of time.

Prevention is the best approach, when I sow my ginseng seed, I come right behind broad casting slug pellets generously.    I like to use pellets with Mesuol in them, they seem to work the best.  This will give you initial control, I strongly suggest that you build some traps that can be easily maintained year round.  I use bricks, 6 bricks formed into a square, with 2 ends open and 2 bricks on top.  This keeps the bait dry and family pets out of it.  Commercial growers need at least 1 trap for each 2 1/2 pounds of seeds planted.  Mole tunnels, a with sharp stick, poke a hole in the top and insert some mouse bait (I use De-Con).

Place a survey flag beside of the trap.  These metal survey flags draw static electricity during storms and this releases the nitrogen trapped in the decomposing forest floor. This helps jump start the seed germination and helps you locate the traps during the winter.  Growing ginseng is a year around job.  I mix slug pellets and mouse bait and fill the trap generously and often.  Experience has taught me that mice and slugs would rather eat the bait then my ginseng seeds.
"Deer and Turkey"
Deer and Turkeys, I like to use Coyote urine, placed on cotton balls.  Coyote urine is hard to find and draws coyotes.  Human urine works and a combination of the two is very effective.  So, if you want to scare the crap out of the deer and dump your turkey problems, do it up wind of your patch.

 
"Growers Tips" From The "Ginseng Growers Guide"

The "Ginseng Growers Guide" by, Michael Hunter,  Contains Many Helpful Tips, about Site Preparation and Planting Woods Grown Ginseng by Hand.

Undergrowth needs to be cleared to improve air circulation, to reduce competition and to allow room to till .  Weeds need to be eliminated. A herbicide should be sprayed on your site about four weeks prior to planting.  Round-Up works good here.  As part of your site preparation you should consider the balance of light in the woods.  If you are going to utilize the woods, you need a good forestry program.

About ninety percent of the woods that I have walked into, I could go over to the east side and I could find a place in there that with a minimal amount of work would be a good site for an initial seed bed. Those plants would then be up and growing for you, leaving time to balance your woods, work on soil and lighting requirements, etc.

 Unisexual Plants, Like Ginseng, Do Not Adapt Well To Global or Local Weather Changes, This is One of The Reasons That Ginseng Remains on The Endangered Species List.   Ginseng is Primarily a Cold Weather Plant and is Native to The Northeast Section of North America.
When Growing Ginseng in Warmer Climates it is Advisable to Have The Ginseng Seeds Becoming Climatically Adapted to There New Environment As Early as Possible.

Ginseng Seeds Have a 18 Month Germination and Can Be Planted at Any Time During Germination.  The Ginseng Seeds are Normally Kept in Stratification Pits for The First 12 Months and Then Planted in The Fall.
Many Growers Will Keep Their Ginseng Seeds in The Stratification Pits For 17.5 Months and Plant in The Spring.  This Greatly Reduces Losses to Mice, Voles, Birds, Etc;

The Serious Ginseng Growers, You Would Do Well to Purchase Your "Glacial Gold"™ American Ginseng Seeds Early.
Build Your Own Stratification Pit and Place It Out In The Woods That You Will Be Growing Your Ginseng In.
This Will Allow The Maxim Time For The Ginseng Seeds to Become Adapted to Their Environment.

Glacial Ginseng always ships our Ginseng Seeds  wrapped in cheesecloth and put into a plastic storage container.  These "Glacial Gold" American Ginseng seeds can be safely stored in the container they are shipped in for up to three months, if kept in a cool place, like your basement or the vegetable bin of your refrigerator.  All you have to do is check them periodically to make sure the seeds have not begun to dry out, moisten slightly if needed.

 
 Michael Hunter Age 4 and Already On The Tractor
"Season Of 47"

Our "Glacial Gold" American Ginseng seeds are washed, float tested and decontaminated prior to packaging. The individual portions of seeds are wrapped in cheese cloth while still moist, placed inside an appropriate sized plastic baggie and sealed. This during normal shipment starts your germination right there. These seeds have always been in a closely controlled environment, never really subject to frequent temperature variations. This is a part of our continued stratification process that we have developed here at Glacial Ginseng through our research. When these packets are sealed moist, it traps the moisture within the plastic bag.

When you receive your shipments at your home, place it in your refrigerator, in the vegetable bin.   You’re giving cool steady environments, you’re not exposed to radical changes. You can watch these seeds germinate your own self, from the time you get them, you will see them develop. All you really have to do is to turn the package over once in a while.  The constant temperature will let the embryo develop slowly. They start germination during shipment inside of those bags. Leave them sealed. When you get ready to plant, your optimum time to plant is between the first of March and the 15th of April. Seeds planted in this time period should yield maximum yields. They should really start to be just indexing.

As spring progresses and the thawing cycles begin, it triggers the germination within the ginseng seed. Spring planting will many times yield better results than fall planting. Your planting window is much briefer and Mother Nature is very much in Charge!

Been thinking about what Dad told me years ago
about hunting wild ginseng and sweet spots. You walk in on one of them, you can just feel it there, but the deer trails have a tendency to go from one of these sweet spots to another if you follow them along. Of course, hunting for wild ginseng along deer trails is an old timers trick, but when the deer get to these sweets spots, they’re looking for the ginseng berries to eat them. Well, they eat the berries, but the seeds pass right through the deer, consequently the Deer are doing some real nice work for us.
