Cognitive decline is becoming one of the most urgent public health challenges of our time. Nearly 7 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s disease, a number expected to nearly double by 2050 (Alzheimer’s Association, 2024). Almost two-thirds of those diagnosed are women, but early signs of cognitive change like forgetfulness, brain fog, and trouble focusing are showing up in more people, and earlier in life.
This growing concern is sparking a movement: a shift toward natural, preventive solutions that work with the body, not against it. While pharmaceutical options may have their place, more people are looking for clean, holistic ways to stay mentally sharp, focused, and resilient for the long haul.
One such solution? A powerful, time-honored medicinal root that’s been revered for centuries: red ginseng.

Red Ginseng: A Time-Tested Ally for Brain and Body

Panax ginseng, commonly known as red ginseng, has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Revered as a “root of immortality,” red ginseng was traditionally used to enhance stamina, clarity, and vitality. 
Today, science is catching up, revealing the brain-boosting potential of this ancient botanical.
In a 2021 study of over 6,000 older adults, those who consumed ginseng regularly for five years or more had significantly better cognitive scores than non-users even when researchers accounted for age, education, and lifestyle (Scientific Reports, 2021). 
Other clinical research has shown red ginseng’s potential to support memory, focus, and mood, especially in adults facing cognitive fatigue or early signs of decline (Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, 2023).
But the benefits go beyond brain health. 
Red ginseng has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and enhance sexual vitality, among many other benefits, factors closely linked to cognitive resilience and healthy aging (Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022).

Why Traditional Ginseng Falls Short

Despite its promise, traditional ginseng farming has serious drawbacks: soil depletion, pesticide contamination, heavy metal exposure, and inconsistent potency across batches. Wild-harvested ginseng is scarce and often unsustainable. It requires decades to grow, which puts pressure on endangered ecosystems.
That’s why one supplement company, Ora, turned to a breakthrough solution: Botalys® Red Ginseng

The Most Potent Ginseng Ever Created

Ora’s Great Minds Cognitive Support formula features Botalys® Red Ginseng, a revolutionary ginseng grown using biomimetic indoor farming. This process mimics the ideal conditions of wild-grown ginseng, without environmental damage or contaminants. 
The result? A clean, high-potency red ginseng that matches the strength of rare 20-year-old wild roots.
Botalys® Red Ginseng has been clinically studied for its ability to reduce stress, boost resilience, and support energy, all while enhancing key cognitive markers like focus and mental clarity. And unlike synthetic stimulants or quick fixes, its effects build naturally over time.
