Farm-direct brand of Wisconsin-grown American ginseng products and raw ingredient. We also have fres Hi Everybody! We're getting there...
I love my job.
I'm Mike Burmeister and my great-great-grandfather Johann Burmeister came to America and founded the town of Hamburg WI, which co-incidentally is where the Fromm brothers settled. The Fromm brothers are in American history books as the first to successfully cultivate American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius). My Great Grandfather Julius Burmeister was working there when the Fromms made that important
discovery. For over 200 years previous, people had been trying unsuccessfully only to have their crop die before harvest; there are a lot of tricks to growing ginseng. And those secrets stayed in Marathon County, elsewhere in the country you would be lucky to find a pound of this amazing medicinal plant wild under a tree in the Northwoods. They traded ginseng it's own weight for Chinese gold; the Chinese knew ginseng literally keeps stress from killing you and increases lifespan which, of course, is worth more than money. Julius began cultivating Panax quinquefolius in Wisconsin in 1909, one of the very first and, I believe, the oldest ginseng-growing families still in business. Today, we collectively harvest tons of what many consider to be the best ginseng in the world. My career in ginseng (if you don't count picking weeds in the garden since I was knee-high) started as a class project at UW-Madison business school some 25 years ago. I was born into a 4th-generation ginseng-growing family, so I saw that in order to save the family farm, we needed to develop finished products from our crop instead of selling it in barrels as low-priced, raw commodity directly to the Chinese market. My grandfather, Henry Burmeister, and I built my first machine for mechanically separating tea; a memory I will always treasure. I sent my new tea ingredient everywhere I could, and by the time I left college I was the lucky American ginseng ingredient supplier for Celestial Seasonings. Together we developed some of the quality control protocols that are still being used as benchmark quality control standards throughout the rest of the natural products industry today. Many major brands of natural products use our WI-grown ginseng for raw ingredient for that reason. Since then I've developed a farm-direct brand of American ginseng products including capsules, tea, select roots, root powder, extract, soaps and the first American ginseng instant tea in the US. Our ginseng ingredient is cultivated for a minimum of 4 years. This long-lived perennial root grows growth rings like a tree, becoming more potent with age; more mature plants are simply higher quality. Also, Burmeister Farms practice what is known as integrated pest management. That means that we do not use chemicals of any kind until something comes along that cannot be controlled by organic methods. Then, and only then, do we turn to biodegradable chemicals to save the plants from disease. We do not use pesticides or herbicides, only organic and biodegradable fungicides and very sparingly. This is not to say we are certified organic, we are not. That would only cost extra and not guarantee the kind of quality that comes with chemical testing of the crop. Our ginseng is 3rd-party independent lab HPLC tested and is guaranteed to contain very low to no residues down to below chemical detection limits. I am confident that our ginseng is the cleanest cultivated ginseng you will find. In a time when farmers are using more and more chemicals to boost yield and consumers are demanding health products to be organic, we wish the rest of the agriculture industry would follow suit and embrace organic cultivation practices. Burmeister Ginseng is dedicated to hiring veterans and proud to be a green-friendly, bee-friendly operation. We are also corporate sponsor of "United Plant Savers" the charity tasked with saving indigenous medicinal plants. I have seen a marked increase in ginseng consumption in the US since we and other ginseng growers donated to the Mayo Clinic so they could publish their groundbreaking study on American ginseng and fatigue in 2012. Arguably the best medical research facility in the world; Mayo researchers do not often study herbs, concentrating mostly on pharma, of course. Mayo researchers reported a statistically significant decrease in fatigue (20% less fatigue) among their study patients undergoing heavy fatigue and chronic inflammation from cancer treatment who took 2 grams (2000mg) of WI-grown American ginseng capsules per day. Most importantly, Mayo figured out how ginseng does what it does. Reported in their chemical study, American ginseng root has been shown, "...to reduce cytokines related to inflammation and help to regulate cortisol levels." (https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ginseng-fights-fatigue-in-cancer-patients-mayo-clinic-led-study-finds/) This needs to be clinically proven. There are numerous important positive implications of reducing cytokine stress hormones regarding longevity, chronic pain, reducing inflammation and damage from chronic stress, damage from flu viruses and autoimmune disorders. The cell damage from cytokines and related rogue leukocytes (white blood cells) have been shown to be DIRECTLY related to aging and ALL autoimmune diseases. Reducing proflammatory cytokines is a "Holy Moly!", fountain-of-youth, incredibly good thing and a new classification of anti-inflammatory. Ask any doctor worth their salt, this is common knowledge. Cytokines are signalling messenger chemicals for the immune system to attack; the body needs them only when sick or injured. When the body's own immune system becomes confused by stress and attacks itself, these cytokines are always involved causing age-related, stress-related oxidative cell damage which is the main biochemical pathway by which we all age and die. Cytokines break healthy cells and tunnel through flesh to where they 'think' the immune system needs to attack, then leukocytes follow those tunnels and when they get to where they're going they wreck stuff; sometimes that stuff is injured cells from an injury or foreign invaders but sometimes they attack perfectly healthy cells in some part of the body which is the very definition of autoimmune disorder. All this cell damage can be prophylactically prevented by simply reducing cytokines in the first place. That way the body doesn't have to repair all those damaged cells; and each time that happens the telomeres get shorter and the cells are not-so-much as they used to be...and welcome to aging.
'Regulating cortisol' is also an awesome thing and has to do with modulating the body's response to stress--reducing the feeling of being 'stressed out'--which could potentially help with dozens of stress related problems like metabolism, weight loss, blood sugar balance, athletic performance, mood, sexual function, brain function, PTSD/anxiety/depression and addiction. This is where the feeling of 'ginseng energy' comes from; instead of a stimulant action American ginseng tricks you stress hormones so you don't get stressed out, fatigued, you kind of forget to get tired, a very pleasant feeling that sticks with you all day. You might feel a slight chill or hair standing on end sensation as all your stress hormones get knocked down and then very alert and centered. This is the 'Yin Chi' or cool energy of American ginseng. All of this needs to be clinically studied and proven conclusively of course, but if you try American ginseng the feeling is undeniable. American ginseng is nature's strongest adaptogen, contains no caffeine and is safe to take every day. American ginseng does not have the strong stimulant effect of Chinese/Korean ginseng species (Panax CA Meyer) so it is the safe choice for people with high blood pressure because American ginseng contains much less Rg1 than Asian ginseng. People taking prescription blood-thinners should talk to their doctor before taking ginseng as it does tend to thin the blood a bit. Like coffee and chocolate and tea, ginseng is a very good tasting woodsy, earthy bitter especially when balanced with a little sweet. In China, considered one of the most important herbs you could eat, ginseng is added to most soups and many herbal beverages and is the gift of choice to give beloved elders on Chinese New Year. Meanwhile in the US...about 8,000 years later, in 1983 American ginseng officially became a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) food (NOT a drug) according to the US FDA. It is incredibly gratifying when people call and write to tell me how my products have improved their lives. When you grow something so beneficial to people it kind of sells itself. Please take a look at Burmeister Ginseng products in our official online store, burmeisterginseng.com Best of health!...From my family to yours. Thank you. Best regards,
Mike Burmeister

Wake up your taste buds with the zesty bittersweet bite of this earthy, woodsy ginseng, turmeric, and ginger blend, an excellent alternative to coffee. Ginsenosides are the bioactive compounds that give Ginseng its healthful medicinal properties. Curcumin, the main ingredient in turmeric, has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a potent antioxidant. Ginger is among the healthiest and most delicious spices and is closely related to turmeric. Ginger is high in gingerol, another robust anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substance. Altogether, this combination makes an effective high-antioxidant and anti-inflammatory tea that will provide energy and improve immunity, but it also supports pain and healing.
Recommendation: Mix 2 tsp with milk of your choice, and add a dash of black pepper for delicious energizing golden milk. Or dissolve into 12 oz hot or cold water for tea.

Ginsenosides are the primary active pharmacological components of ginseng. Ginsenosides, also known as steroid-like saponins, are unique to the ginseng species. To date, there have been more than 100 ginsenosides discovered. Many studies have validated the pharmalogical benefits of ginsenosides in cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, cancers, stress, and immune support.

Ginseng berries have long been under-appreciated. In traditional oriental medicine, ginseng root has long been used as a valuable medicinal plant. During cultivation, growers are required to choose between harvesting the seed for further plantings or remove the flowers to increase root development. Thus, many have thought that the ginseng berry (fruit) may be considered a useless by-product of ginseng. However, modern researches in the past decade have determined that ginseng berries contained higher amounts of total ginsenosides than the root.
The main bioactive compounds in the berry are Ginsenosides, the same classes as those found in the root. Studies have reported that the total ginsenoside content could be higher in the berry than in the root by as much as 60%-200%. Rb3, Re, Rb2, Rd, and Rc, are the ginsenosides that are the most abundant in the American ginseng berry compared to the root.

1. Get some sun — This sunlight is the primary source of natural vitamin D. Vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects that can improve the body's immune system.
2. Wash your hands — Hand washing is one of the best strategies you can use to avoid getting sick by keeping bacterias and infections at bay.
3. Humidify — It makes it harder for viruses to stay airborne if there is moisture in the air. Saline irrigation solution can also help to keep your nasal passages hydrated especially in heated buildings and relieve congestion if you have a cold.
4. Get plenty of sleep — Not getting enough sleep as well as poor quality sleep can have an adverse effect on your immune system.
5. Drink lots of water — Drinking lots of water helps flush toxins from the body and keeps mucus in the respiratory tract thin, thus easier to expel.
6. Good nutrition — Eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in whole foods is important for a healthy immune system.
7. Regular Exercise — Regular exercise is one of the pillars of healthy living. It improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, helps control body weight, and protects against a variety of diseases.
8. Maintain healthy weight — Excess weight causes a state of chronic inflammation, and this causes your immune system to become compromised.
9. Spend time in nature — Being cooped up inside heated buildings with recirculated air in winter can help viruses to spread. Use your lunch break to go outside, get some fresh air, decompress, and replenish your store of Vitamin D from sunshine.
10. Manage your stress — Managing stress, especially long-term stress, may help people to fight germs. Dedicate time to laughter, meditation, recharge “me” time are just a few ways you can utilize to destress on a daily basis.
11. Avoid too much stimulants — You can strengthen your immune system by limiting too much stimulants such as energy drinks, excessively caffeinated sodas, and ni****ne.
12. Minimize smoking and alcohol — Smoking can depress your immune system by suppressing the antibodies created by your body to fight cold and flu viruses. Alcohol dehydrates the body and creates an attractive environment for viruses.

Anatomic features of American Ginseng:
In appearance, the root of ginseng is similar to that of liquorice.
When the root is dried, the root is pale yellow in colour and wrinkled.
A white bark surrounds the entirety of the root. There are two to three portions connected to the upper part of the root. The root has at least one scar at its termini.
The “main root” is considerably thicker in diameter in comparison to the rhizome. The rhizome is the part of the root from which the bud stems. The main root is the most important portion of the plant for the extraction of ginsenosides, given its size.
From the main root, the fibre roots and the tail roots extend. These are small roots which have roles in anchorage and nutrition.

Nootropics are cognitive enhancers that purport to improve learning capability, motivation, concentration, memory and creativity. There are both natural and synthetic compounds that offer a variety of benefits for the brain.
Here are a few non-addictive, yet safe and research proven effective substances you can start trying:
⁃ Adaptogenic Herbs (Ashwagandha, Astragalus root, Licorice root, Rhodiola rosea, etc. See our previous post on Adaptogenic Herbs): helps reduce cortisol, lowers blood sugar, increase cognition and learning and memory.
⁃ B Vitamins (vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12, etc.): helps to produce neurotransmitters and s*x & stress-related hormones like cortisol in your brain
⁃ Bacopa monnieri: help regulate dopamine and serotonin productions
⁃ Creatine: is neuroprotective, and improves alertness, concentration and attention
⁃ DHA/Fish Oil: protects against damage to brain cells, and also help support memory, focus and reduce inflammation
⁃ Ginkgo Biloba: increase cerebral blood flow, improving oxygen and glucose availability to neurons, boosts dopamine which can help reduce anxiety, depression and assist in the symptoms of ADHD and demensia
⁃ Ginseng: reducing adrenal fatigue, boosting GABA and providing an anti-stress effect, and boosting ATP synthesis in mitochondria due to its antioxidant effects
⁃ Lion’s Mane Mushroom: neurogenesis and neuroprotective, can enhance neurite-outgrowth, and provide protection against neurodegenerative disorders
⁃ Maca: boost acetylcholine, regulates hormones, improves memory and acts as an antidepressant
⁃ Rhodiola Rosea: helps in neurogenesis by repairing and growing new neurons, boosts mood by influencing serotonin and norepinephrinelevels in your brain
09/16/2022
Did you know consistent intake of Ginseng is effective in memory improvement, prevent degenerative brain functions. Furthermore, Ginseng’s ability to enhance ATP production for energy may also be useful in managing mood and stress.

Our Story
Dear Reader,
The Burmeister family has been cultivating Panax quinquefolious since 1909. When my great-grandfather, Julius Burmeister, came to America from Germany, he worked for the Fromm brothers, who are in the history books for pioneering the cultivation method for American ginseng in the US...my great-grandfather was one of the very first. Today, we collectively harvest tons of what many consider to be the strongest adaptogen on earth and the most valuable of the true Panax ginsengs.
The ginseng in the Burmeister brand is cultivated for a minimum of 4 years. This long-lived perennial root becomes more potent with age. Also, Burmeister Farms practice what is known as integrated pest management. That means that we are basically organic until something comes along that cannot be controlled by organic methods. Then, and only then, do we turn to biodegradable chemicals to save the plants from disease. We do not use pesticides or herbicides, only organic and biodegradable fungicides sparingly. Our ginseng is HPLC tested and is guaranteed free of pesticide residues far below EPA thresholds and usually beyond detection limits (none detected). I am confident that our ginseng is the cleanest cultivated ginseng you will find. In a time when farmers are using more and more chemicals to boost yield and consumers are demanding health products to be organic, we are proud of our ginseng’s purity.
My business started as a class project at UW-Madison business school some 24 years ago. I was born into a fourth-generation ginseng growing family, but we needed to develop finished products instead of just selling raw commodity to China. By the time I left college, I was the number one producer of American ginseng tea in the US processing ingredient for a little company called Celestial Seasonings. Together we developed some of the quality control protocols that are now industry standard. Many of the major domestic brands of natural products use our ginseng for raw ingredient. Since then I've developed an unparalleled brand of ginseng products including capsules, tea, select roots, root powder, extract, and the first American ginseng instant tea in the US. In 1983 American ginseng officially became a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) food according to the FDA.
I have seen a marked increase in ginseng consumption in the US since the Mayo Clinic published their groundbreaking study on American ginseng and fatigue in 2012. Mayo found a statistically significant decrease in fatigue among their study patients who took 2 grams per day and, most importantly, they figured out how ginseng does what it does. According to Mayo Clinic, American ginseng root has been shown, "...to reduce cytokines related to inflammation and help to regulate cortisol levels." (www.mayoclinic.org/news2012-rst/6907.html) There are numerous important positive stress-related implications of reducing cytokine stress hormones regarding longevity, chronic pain, reducing inflammation and damage from chronic stress. The cell damage from cytokines is directly linked to aging and auto-immune disorders like MA and Alzheimers. Therefore, reducing proflammatory cytokines is an extremely good thing; when proven, a new amazingly beneficial classification of natural anti-inflammatory. Also important, regulating cortisol has to do with modulating the body's response to stress--reducing the feeling of being 'stressed out'--which can help with dozens of stress related problems like weight loss, blood sugar, athletic performance, mood and sexual function. This is where the feelings of ‘ginseng energy’ come from; basically tricking your stress hormones into thinking you are not stressed-out, not tired. It’s a very pleasant feeling and that’s why ginseng is referred to as the ‘emperor’s herb”; you basically forget to get tired. American ginseng is nature's strongest adaptogen, contains no caffeine and is safe to take every day...and we grow some of the best in the world here in Wisconsin.
I love being in the natural health business. Its incredibly gratifying when people call and write to tell me how my products have improved their lives. We are also a member of United Plant Savers who are making concerted efforts to give this endangered species (Panax quinquefolious) a chance to come back in the wild. Best of health!...From my family to yours. Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Mike Burmeister
