1. Korean Ginseng: This generally refers to Panax ginseng, which is native to Korea and valued for its health benefits. It’s commonly used to enhance energy, improve cognitive function, and support overall wellness.
2. Korean Red Ginseng: Made from mature Korean ginseng roots that are steamed and dried, red ginseng has a reddish-brown color. The steaming process enhances its bioactive compounds, making it more potent. It’s often used for its adaptogenic properties and is popular for boosting stamina and immunity.
3. Korean Black Ginseng: This variety undergoes a more complex process of steaming and drying multiple times, resulting in a darker color and concentrated nutrients. Black ginseng is believed to provide even greater health benefits and is touted for its potential to improve vitality and support overall health.
4. Korean Wild Ginseng: This is the wild-harvested form of Korean ginseng, found in natural forests. Wild ginseng is considered rarer and more potent than cultivated varieties, often sought after for its unique properties and higher price due to its limited availability.

👉 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.

👉Unfortunately, due to international shipping regulations, we are unable to offer fresh ginseng.
