The Ginseng Story


Over a thousand years ago in Korea, the secret of ginseng was revealed—through the art of cooking and drying, its remarkable effects came to light. In 1123, a Song Dynasty envoy wrote in his travel essay 高麗圖經 of the root’s strength and vitality. That legacy lives on, as both Eastern and Western medicine continue to affirm its benefits for health and longevity.

Ginseng is not just a root—it is history and science intertwined, a timeless food for well-being.

What is Korean Ginseng?

Ginseng is widely desired for its numerous beneficial components. In the ginseng family, Korean ginseng stands out for its impressive levels of saponins and non-saponins that can't be found with other varieties.

Korean Ginseng contains a range of valuable saponins including Rb1 which may help regulate healthy liver and brain function. It is also abundant in non-saponin ingredients, one of the most notable being acidic polysaccharide which has been proven to manage cholesterol levels.

Korean Red Ginseng is a version of Korean Ginseng that has been through a traditional steaming and drying process, turning it red. This is done to enhance the root's benefits and protect it.

Not all ginseng plants are equal in terms of their benefits; Korean Red Ginseng contains an abundance of saponins while American, Chinese, and Japanese Ginseng have less than 15 saponins. Saponins are naturally occurring compounds that are responsible for the capabilities of Ginseng.
