Ginseng products might exhibit reduced efficacy if taken concurrently with immunosuppressants, and it’s advised to refrain from consuming ginseng before surgery or while on anticoagulants.

Experts suggest consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or pharmacist, before incorporating ginseng into your regimen, especially if undergoing medical treatment or taking medications.

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on 1,500 adults nationwide in November of the previous year, 68.9% of respondents reported purchasing and consuming health functional foods. This marks a significant increase from 50.2% in 2012. Domestic sales of health functional foods nearly doubled over seven years, from KRW 1.4091 trillion to KRW 2.9508 trillion.

The most popular products included red ginseng, individually approved items like Hovenia tree extract, probiotics, vitamins and minerals, and EPA and DHA-containing fats.

Consumers showed relatively good awareness of dry food information, with 70.9% recognizing the distinction from regular food and 74.9% familiar with health food certification designs. It’s essential to verify products bearing the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety’s certification mark indicating “health functional food” and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) before purchase.

Motivations for purchasing health food varied, with recommendations from acquaintances being the most common (33.7%), followed by internet advertisements (24.4%), and other sources (24.1%). However, 10.7% of respondents reported being influenced by exaggerated advertisements, emphasizing the need for caution.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety emphasized that health food should not be misconstrued as medicine capable of curing diseases and warned against deceptive claims in advertisements.

Consumers typically consumed 2 to 3 types of health functional foods (57.8%), followed by 1 type (23.9%), and 4 to 5 types (12.9%). It’s advisable to adhere to the recommended daily intake specified on product labels and ensure no overlap in ingredients or functionality when consuming multiple products.

Awareness of the Health Functional Food Adverse Case Reporting Center stood at 19.6%. This center, operated by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, investigates abnormal symptoms following the consumption of health functional foods. Consumers experiencing adverse effects should cease consumption immediately and consult a doctor, reporting incidents to the designated reporting center or the Food Safety Nation website.

Caution is advised when combining health functional foods with medications. Probiotic products may diminish the effectiveness of antibiotics, while products containing EPA and DHA should be avoided with anticoagulants like aspirin.

Milk thistle products support liver health but may reduce the breakdown rate of medications when taken concurrently. Detailed information on ingredients requiring caution when ingested with medications can be found on the Food Safety Nation website under “Food & Safety.” Such ingredients include aloe, gamma-linolenic acid, Angelica root, mate, golden leaf, soybean, carnitine, green tea, chitosan/chitooligosaccharide, spirulina, glucosamine, pomegranate, acanthopanax, wild mango, chlorella, conjugated linoleic acid, coenzyme Q10, ginkgo, saw palmetto extract, phosphatidylserine, cranberry, licorice extract, turmeric, among others.

SeoulGinseng adheres to laws and regulations and does not make explicit claims about the treatment of diseases in its advertisements.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After battling with various diseases for over a decade and enduring countless trips to the hospital with little improvement, I stumbled upon Korean ginseng product, and it’s been nothing short of miraculous. I was skeptical at first, having tried numerous treatments without success, but after just six months of incorporating this into my routine, I started noticing significant improvements in my health.

Not only did it save me from the frustration of ineffective treatments, but it also saved me a substantial amount of money and time that would have otherwise been wasted on futile medical interventions. I can’t express how grateful I am to have discovered Korean ginseng product.

If you’re struggling with chronic health issues like I was, I highly recommend giving this ginseng product a try.

Korean ginseng is said to cure all diseases, and it’s been a game-changer for me, and I’m confident it could be for you too.

Julie Kathryn

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the first time I have tried this for stomach issues. By pure luck I found an article online about this product. I talked to a lot of Korean friends and specialists, got a lot of comments regarding the pros and cons. With this in mind I took the leap. It was the best thing that I have done. I had been having stomach problems for many years and in less than a couple of weeks of taking this Korean Red Ginseng I have not had any issues! I am AMAZED.

I heavily recommend that you consult your physician or herbalist (that knows about this product and history). I am now a true Believer!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ During the first week of school, my son caught coronavirus in his dormitory, and upon returning home, he caught the flu right after midterm exams!!! After all these viral illnesses got better, I was hoping to strengthen his immune system. Not only did I recommend good eating habits and exercise, but I also gave him this ginseng. He has not been sick since then, and there are only 10 days left until summer vacation. huh!!!

Michelle Caswell

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can definitely feel the energy difference and the bonus skin improvement is a plus. I’ve never taken ginseng before so I have nothing to compare it to but I’m happy with it.

Erica Rotstein

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my favorite immune supplement. I haven’t taken it for last four years. I bought new one a few weeks ago. My condition is very good in these days because I take it continuously.

My life quality is increased and changed a lot to talkative person from a quiet person.😊l can not help loving SeoulGinseng because of these reasons.

Walter Allen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been taking ginseng from this company in various forms since my Korean friend introduced me to it. Now my entire family takes it once a day. I don’t drink coffee, but when I take one it these, my energy level immediately goes up (without weird jitters). It’s pure and healthy.

Ron Avi Astor

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After watching a video of a korean influencer on YouTube, saying that she takes red ginseng on a daily basis to maintain a healthy immune system, I decided to give it a try. And it really works ! I take it before going to the gym early in the mornings, and I feel more energized and agile. The taste at the beginning is strong, but become used to it at the end. Hey, if its ginger and all natural, I’m in. Perfect for a gift. Absolutely great product !

Marvin C. Alkin

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Korean Red Ginseng benefits are age old. It strengthens the immune system, gives quick and sustaining energy depending on how much you take and more….
This particular ginseng is grown for a long time, so it says, and is comes from a long family tradition going back 113 or more years.

Ryan Sciaino

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been following the advice of experts for the past two years, taking this ginseng product every morning on an empty stomach. And I have to say, it’s made a world of difference for me.

Since starting this routine, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my chronic illness. It’s been such a relief to finally see some progress after dealing with it for so long. And on top of that, I’ve definitely been feeling more energized throughout the day.

I just wanted to express my gratitude for creating such a helpful product. It’s truly been a lifesaver for me, and I can’t thank you enough.

Kat Reinhert

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Received three days after ordering. Thanks for the very fast delivery, I ate it with my family for immunity and a better day. The day seems less tiring, and the children feel less tired. Unlike ginseng, red ginseng is purchased because adults and children can eat it together. It’s also packed in one piece, so it’s easy to eat, so I chose everytime over other products: it’s easy to pack and carry around on a busy morning. The taste was less bitter than I thought, and the children were good because it was sweet. I want to take care of my family and friends’ health with Red ginseng extract. For a healthy family. ^^

Eva Baker

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been taking Korean red ginseng products for 5 years daily and it helps me stay awake long nights due to lots of workload I have to deal with everyday. I usually only sleep about 3-4 hours a day and Korean Red Ginseng product keeps me healthy and let’s me stay up with less sleep. When I don’t take this daily, I feel so tired and have no energy.

Jean-François

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am a IT professional and was looking for something for fatigue(mental and body) and stress relief as I have irregular work schedule and sleeping pattern. I tried various supplements like mindlab pro(almost $80 so price wise comparable to 30 strips product) but I was not able to see any signs of intake even after weeks. But Korean ginseng product has so far worked for me. Whenever I have fatigue or lack of energy, i take couple of strips and drink them all and I am back to full of energy.
