Panax ginseng extract

About

Panax ginseng extract is an extract of the root of Panax ginseng, the Asian ginseng. PepsiCo used it in the zero-calorie cola sold in the United States as Diet Pepsi Max and later as Pepsi Zero Sugar, where it appeared last in the ingredient list alongside a caffeine level roughly twice that of Diet Pepsi.[1] The company removed it in January 2023, when it reformulated Pepsi Zero Sugar in the United States to taste closer to sugared Pepsi; the ginseng recipe stayed on sale in Canada.[2]
