Burmeister Ginseng
The Burmeister family has been growing ginseng for over 100 years!
Over 100 years ago, Michael’s great-grandfather, Julius Burmeister, learned to grow and cultivate ginseng.
Michael’s foray into the ginseng business came while taking business classes at UW-Madison. By the time Michael left college, he was the top producer of American ginseng in the US. Today, Michael grows ginseng in Wausau, WI.
American ginseng contains no caffeine. In 1983 the FDA recognized American ginseng as a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) food. Ginseng consumption has increased since 2012 when the Mayo Clinic published a study on American ginseng and fatigue. According to the Mayo study, American ginseng root has been shown, “…to reduce cytokines related to inflammation and help to regulate cortisol levels.”
