Because most ginsenosides after oral administration with intestinal bacterial deglycosylation still contained sugar attachment on C-6 and C-20 positions, the metabolites with only sugar attachment to C-3 position accounted for only a small portion of all ginsenosides and could not equal to the eleva...
