Description
Ginseng has been cultivated in Korea for over 1,000 years, and Korea Ginseng Corporation has been at the forefront of developing Red ginseng as a core ingredient since 1899. Over 126 years, KGC has become the world's leading ginseng brand, holding a 43% share of the global ginseng market. This success is driven by more than $2M in annual investment in R&D and over 100 clinical studies, which have built trust with customers. KGC secures high-quality raw materials through a 100% contracted cultivation system and supports farmers with financial and technical support. The company also maintains rigorous quality standards, conducting seven rounds of quality tests for 8 years. The core ingredient, Red ginseng, is produced by washing fresh ginseng, steaming it, and then naturally drying it under the sun. This process increases the varieties of ginsenosides and the content of acidic polysaccharides, optimizing the balance of active compounds. Red ginseng, as an adaptogen, helps regulate homeostasis by modulating physiological functions, thereby promoting the well-aging process. It is recognized by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) for six distinct benefits and backed by worldwide scientific research papers. Through strict quality control and significant investment in R&D, KGC has grown into the world's leading ginseng company, renowned for its superior product quality.
