How to Distinguish the quality of red ginseng extract product.

How to Distinguish the quality of red ginseng extract product.

1. Checking whether the 'red ginseng beverage', or a' health functional food'.

2. Checking the ratio of red ginseng concentrate. - very critical point

3. Checking the percentage of solid(pure extract)

4. Checking the raw red ginseng blend ratio.

5. Checking the content of ginseoside(Rg1 + Rb1)

---

1. Distinguishing whether the 'red ginseng beverage', or a' health functional food'.

Red Ginseng concentrate product can be divided into "Red Ginseng Beverage" and "Health Functional Food".

below product is 'red ginseng beverage'.

and the following is Health Functional Food

Those classification are defined by the Korea Food and Drug Administration(KFDA)

If any products that do not pass this criterion cannot be sold.


According to the "Notice for standards of health functional food" from KFDA

1. Health Functional Food of Red Ginseng :  total Rg1+Rb1 must be '2.4 mg / daily intake' or more.
2. Red Ginseng Beverage :  there is no standard notice of the content of the component.

   - which means it's allright that 'Red Ginseng Beverage' just contain even tiny amount of ingredient of ginseng or red ginseng.

Actually, In the case of red ginseng beverage, very very little amount of red ginseng extract is included in products.

Please look at the photo below. it's best selling 'red ginseng beverage' of CKJ.

Understanding is easier if you look at the below expression.

This means that only 0.36% of total capacity is 'red ginseng extract'

please look at the graph below.

Yes, It's JUST 'beverage' which contains tiny amount of red ginseng extract!

---

2. Checking the ratio of red ginseng extract. - very critical point

CKJ's Extract Plus 240g

it is very important that Always try to choose 100% of red ginseng extract(홍삼농축액100%)!!

---

the following is the product which is currently sold much on ebay.

This extract is being sold very much because people think the price is cheap.

BUT

Looking in detail the content, it will be a little surprised because of the following reason.

1. Red ginseng extract is only 10%.

2. Rg1 + Rb1 is only 1mg/g .

Low quality product!!

---

the following is the extract made by small company in Korea

Relatively decent product!

Although it has relatively good quality, I cannot say it's the best products for the reasons of No. 2, No. 3, No. 4( it is explained at below parts)

---

Hansamin's Hansongjeong 240g

Best Product!

There is almost no difference with CKJ

---

3. Checking the percentage of solids.

'Solid of ginseng' means the amount of the 'pure red ginseng extract' remaining, assuming that the extract has evaporated completely.(Higher 'content of solids' is better.)

'65% of solid' means, after evaporating completly, 65% of pure extract is remained.

For example;

1)Assuming that the total 100g of product contain 10% of red ginseng extract and  the extract contain 90% of 'red ginseng solid'.

Amount of solid(pure red ginseng extract) is 100g x 0.1 x 0.9 = 9g.

Ratio of the solid(pure red ginseng extract) in this product will be 9%.

Now, Let's compare following products.

1) CKJ's Extract Plus 240g

total content : 240g

the extract-ratio of total amount is 100% and solid-ratio of the extract is 64% 

240g x 1 x 0.64 = 153.6g

this product contains 153.6g of pure red ginseng.
so, solid is 64% of the total in 240g.

---

2) Extract Classic

total content : 100g

the extract-ratio of total amount is 100% and solid-ratio of the extract is 60%

100g x 1 x 0.6 = 60g

this product contains 60g of pure red ginseng.
it is 60% of the total in 100g.

---

3)Extract 365

total content(1btl) : 240g

the extract-ratio of total amount is 10% and solid-ratio of the extract is 60

240g x 0.1 x 0.6 = 14.4g

this product contains only 14.4g of pure red ginseng.

solid is 6% of the total in 240g.

Despite this fact, Usually buyer tend to think this is ok because the price is cheap.  but I don't think so.

So, let's compare the prices on the basis of pure red ginseng extract.

1)

total : 240g

Solid(pure extract) : 64%

Official Price : 198,000KRW

Price per 1% of  pure extract is 3093KRW

2)

total : 240g

Solid(pure extract) : 6%

price of 1 btl : 49800 / 2 = 24900KRW

Price per 1% of  pure extract is 4150KRW

Come to think of it like this, it can be seen that the prices of products made by CKJ, Hansamin and Gaesung are not high at all.

---

Reference description for a better understanding (100g each)

1)configuration of the product which is composed of 100%-RG extract(60% of Solid)

red ginseng extract 100g(60g of solid + 40g of water)

2) configuration of the product which is composed of 10%-RG extract(60% of Solid)

red ginseng extract10g(6g of solid + 4g of water) + 90g of other ingredient

---

4. Checking the raw red ginseng blend ratio.

please look at the part of the green square in the photo below.

1)CKJ's Extract 240

You should know the following two words in advance. :)

body has a lot of active saponin and radicle contains components which gives bitter taste.

Of course, the higher contents of body, the better effect.

the most common blending ratio is 70% of body and 30% of radicle

---

5. Checking the content of ginseoside(Rg1 + Rb1)

many people judge the quality of product by looking at this number.

In fact, many sort of ginsenoside is in Ginseng.

Ginsenoside Ra1-3, Ginsenoside Rb1, Ginsenoside Rb2, Ginsenoside Rb3, Ginsenoside Rc, Ginsenoside Rd, Ginsenoside Re, Ginsenoside Rf, Ginsenoside Rg1, Ginsenoside Rg2, Panaxa Diol,  Panaxa Diol ... and more....

KFDA has been conducting testing of the final product , but they cannot confirm all kind of saponin

they examine the contents of only two most representative components(Rb1 and Rg1).

So the only two components are displayed on the product.(recently one kinf of element has been added.)

Of course, the higher contents of rg1 and rb1, the better effect.

However, even there seem to be lots of Rg1 + Rb1 in product,
It is not good product if the ratio of the RG extract and ratio of solid are low.

For saponin, I will post it in more detail in the near future.

Thank you for reading my article.

The Superiority of Korean Red Ginseng

The surperiority of KOREAN Ginseng

KOREAN Ginseng is not only a species different from those of American ginseng or Chinese Sanchi ginseng, but it is also grown in an optimal geographical environment with climatic conditions suitable for growing superior quality ginseng. The latitudinal range in which the majority of KOREAN INSAM farming is carried out extends from 36° to 38° north, where the growing period (180 days) is longer than that of other areas (120 to 130 days). This longer growth time is instrumental to the development of harder and denser internal tissues and the safekeeping of innate flavor.The first thing that comes into mind when thinking about KOREAN GINSENG is saponin. KOREAN GINSENG has the richest variety of saponin. Its composition is so exquisite that no other plants in the Panax family come close to it. So far, some thirty different kinds of saponin, named ginsenosides, have been identified. These ginsenosides are further divided into diols, triols and oleananes according to their structural characteristics, and are known to have different medical effects. The content of saponin in ginsengs grown in other countries is higher than KOREAN GINSENG, but their saponins are limited to about 4 to 15 kinds, resulting in very limited medicinal effects when compared to KOREAN INSAM. Unique to white ginseng are saponins of malonyl-ginsenosides, e.g. MG-Rb1, MG-Rb2, MG-Rc and MG-Rd. Red ginseng specifically contains such saponins as G-Rh2, G-Rs1, G-Rs2 and H-R4.More than 10 different polyacetylene compounds have been identified in KOREAN INSAM. Some of these are known to suppress replication of cancerous cells and exhibit antiplatelet and antioxidation activity. Analysis of polyacetylene ingredient contained in ginsengs from various countries revealed that KOREAN INSAM exceeds in its content by approximately 30-60%.

 



Korean red ginseng is known as the 'King of Herbs' and can be sharply contrasted with other inferior ginseng species. While Korean ginseng boasts more than 30 varieties of healthy plant saponins (and ginsenosides found only in Korean ginseng), the roots nearest relatives offer less than half the natural variety. The richness and wealth of natural components in this superior root are maximized when grown for six years. As such all of KGC�s roots are guaranteed to have been grown for no less than 6 years, an incredible investment in care and cultivation for the highest quality ginseng products in the world.

 

 

Unique Features of Red Ginseng 

1. Red Ginseng contains more Saponins than the level of general Ginseng, which is the key herb ingredient in Ginseng.

2. The Ginseng’s own bitter taste has remarkably eliminated during the process for Red Ginseng with which it makes easier for Western people or women and children to take this ever-well-known herb product without difficulty. 

3. Red Ginseng is well digestible. The solid starch ingredient in Ginseng has been dissolved to gelatin during the process for being Red Ginseng.

4. Red Ginseng has longer life for storage because enzymes of Ginsenghave become inactive during the process for being Red Ginseng.

The World's Best Ginseng Must Be Cultivated in Korea

The World's Best Ginseng Must Be Cultivated in Korea

As a delicate root, the growing environment is important for ginseng to produce healthy components, called ginseng saponins.

Since Korea is the naturally evolved growing environment of ginseng, Korea's geographical latitude, 4 distinct seasons, and the very specific soil conditions on the Pacific peninsula of Korea allow Korean ginseng to produce more than twice the variety of these healthy components.

Although there are other species of ginseng, such as American ginseng, Japanese ginseng, or Siberian ginseng, and while cousins of Korean ginseng exist, including Chinese and Asian Panax ginseng, these varieties naturally produce either less than half the variety of healthy saponins as Korean ginseng (by species), or only half the total quantity of healthy saponins (by growing period).

Korean ginseng is grown in the ideal climate for ginseng cultivation, the peninsula of Korea, under strict quality controls. For these reasons, it is praised as the highest quality ginseng in the world, in terms of efficacy and, both, quantity and variety of active components.

About 6-Years-Grown Korean Red Ginseng

About 6-Years-Grown Korean Red Ginseng

Korean ginseng is a plant, the root of which has been taken as a health food for over 2,000 years around the world. Long before Korean ginseng was well-known to the Western general public, people from aristocratic and scientific classes knew about, wrote about, and showed their love for ginseng, regarding it as a natural medicine and calling it the "treasure from the Orient."

Some notable figures, who have openly endorsed the use of Korean ginseng to support natural health, include King Louis XIV (the "Sun King") and passionate philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Both enjoyed and appreciated the health effects of ginseng. Pope Paul II loved ginseng so much that he made it popular around the Vatican. Russian novelist, Maxim Gorky, used ginseng while recovering from a smoking-related disease and French president Mitterrand claimed that ginseng helped extend his life while living with a terminal cancer. 

Even the British rock band, the Scorpions, came to Korea and purchased ginseng to support their active lifestyle, 

while one of the world's top models, Naomi Campbell, has shared that one of her secret's for body care is using Korean ginseng extract.
