At the prestigious International Conference on the Science of Botanicals (ICSB) held in Oxford, Mississippi, leading experts gathered to discuss recent advancements in natural health products. Among the highlights of the event was a special seminar hosted by KGC (Korea Ginseng Corporation), which presented scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of Korean Red Ginseng (K-RG). With participation from major U.S. governmental bodies including the FDA, USDA, NSF, and NIH, as well as researchers and academic figures from both Korea and the U.S., the seminar attracted more than 400 attendees.

The core theme focused on the multifunctional health benefits of red ginseng, ranging from immune support and fatigue relief to cardiovascular health and cognitive function. Korean Red Ginseng has been officially recognized by Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its seven key functional benefits, which include immune enhancement, improved blood circulation, and reduced fatigue.

Dr. Amir Lafi, a senior clinical researcher at Valience Clinical Research in the U.S., highlighted red ginseng’s ability to suppress platelet aggregation and reduce the risk of blood clots, key factors in promoting cardiovascular health. Meanwhile, Dr. Minho Song from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) presented findings on how red ginseng revitalizes aged immune cells and reduces systemic inflammation, potentially delaying immunosenescence (immune system aging).

KGC also hosted a product tasting session at the event, receiving enthusiastic responses from participants. With over 1,200 scientific studies globally validating red ginseng's health effects, the corporation announced its plans to expand research collaborations with U.S. universities and hospitals, reinforcing its role in the globalization of K-Red Ginseng as a premium health ingredient.

A particularly interesting dimension is the synergy between Korean Red Ginseng and calcium supplementation. While calcium is essential for bone density and muscle function, recent research indicates that combining it with adaptogenic herbs like red ginseng may enhance overall physiological balance. Ginseng's anti-inflammatory properties can support calcium metabolism by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to bone degradation, particularly in aging populations. This complementary effect makes red ginseng a potential co-therapy in calcium-rich wellness regimens, especially for postmenopausal women or those with a risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Moreover, red ginseng is gluten-free, caffeine-free, and aligns well with global wellness trends focused on clean, natural, and scientifically backed supplements. Its robust antioxidant profile, along with its adaptogenic capabilities, further strengthens its positioning as a holistic health solution.

As stated by Yoonbum Lee, Director of KGC's U.S. R&D Center, "We are committed to making Korean Red Ginseng the flagship of global natural health. Its compatibility with global health trends and scientific validation makes it a truly universal ingredient."

With international recognition growing, Korean Red Ginseng is emerging not only as a traditional herb but as a modern nutraceutical, worthy of inclusion in daily wellness routines—especially when combined with essential minerals like calcium for a synergistic boost to long-term health.
