It depends on what you are looking for. The leaf extract has the most ginsenosides, and is the most stimulating. The root is a traditional Korean red ginseng, which is more adaptogenic/antioxidant/anti-stress. The GS15-4 uses unpeeled white ginseng roots harvested at 4-5 years, then is put through a fermentation process that mimics your GI tract. So it increases speed and amount of absorption, and also aims to get the most of the metabolite called IH-901. That activates AMPK, which helps ketogenesis and glucose uptake into skeletal muscle.

For the first time, a vertical farmed ginseng reproduces the effectiveness on the focus of wild ginseng in a double-blind clinical study. Its composition in rare ginsenosides (Rg5, Rg3, Rk1, Rh2, Rh4) is close to wild ginseng. The mind-boosting effect is felt from the first day.
