👉Vitamins are synthetic chemicals produced in factories almost instantly, while ginseng is a natural plant cultivated on farms for six years.
Vitamins can be easily mass-produced chemically in factories, whereas ginseng requires careful cultivation over six years on specialized farms. High-quality ginseng, known for its health benefits, is grown only in select regions, resulting in limited availability.
In addition, while vitamins are produced automatically in factories, the harvesting and processing of ginseng involve intricate manual labor, further contributing to its higher cost.

👉 Korean red ginseng is a processed form of Korean ginseng that has been steamed and dried. This process is believed to enhance its medicinal properties and efficacy.
- Processing: Korean ginseng is either unprocessed or minimally processed, whereas Korean red ginseng undergoes a specialized steaming and drying process.
- Color: Korean ginseng typically has a beige or light brown color, while the steaming process gives Korean red ginseng a distinctive reddish-brown hue.
- Texture: Korean ginseng generally has a firm texture, while Korean red ginseng becomes softer as a result of the steaming process.
- Benefits: Korean red ginseng contains higher levels of ginsenosides compared to Korean ginseng. These bioactive compounds are believed to enhance immunity, improve stamina, and support cognitive function. The steaming and drying process used for Korean red ginseng is thought to increase the concentration of ginsenosides, potentially making it a more potent source of these health benefits.
👉The price of a ginseng product is determined by its ginseng content(ginsenoside). The higher the ginseng content, the higher the ginsenoside content, the greater the health benefits and the higher the price. The product is made in a small size for easy and convenient consumption, but despite its size, it actually contains a large amount of ginseng. For some ginseng extract products, 20 ginseng roots are concentrated into a 100g product.
Cheongkwanjang, operated by Korea Ginseng Corporation (KGC), changed its name to Jungkwanjang in 2023 due to difficulties in pronunciation among international customers.
Korean ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng, derives its name from the Greek word “Panax,” meaning “all-healing,” reflecting its long-standing reputation as a universal remedy in Korea, China, and other parts of Asia for over 2,000 years.
Throughout history, Korean and Chinese emperors viewed ginseng as more than just a medicinal herb for healing; it was considered a timeless secret to longevity, vital for maintaining health and vitality across the ages. Most kings of the past died around the age of 50 to 60, but King Yeongjo, who had a deep love for ginseng, lived to the age of 85 without any illness and consumed 10 kg of ginseng per year.
Even today, many well-known Korean celebrities, politicians, and business leaders—including the chairman of Samsung Lee Kun-hee—take ginseng daily over long periods. If you notice improvements in your health from taking ginseng, we recommend using it long-term to sustain your well-being.
