- Title

- Abstract
Despite the popularity of the ginseng (Panax) root in health research and on the market, the ginseng berry's potential remains relatively unexplored. Implementing ginseng berry cultivations and designing berry-derived products could improve the accessibility to mental health-promoting nutraceuticals. Indeed, the berry could have a higher concentration of neuroprotective and antidepressant compounds than the root, which has already been the subject of research demonstrating its efficacy in the context of neuroprotection and mental health. In this review, data on the berry's application in supporting mental health via the gut–brain axis is compiled and discussed.
