[YakAl's 3-Minute Summary💊]

Check for the health functional food mark. This mark means the country has verified the product's safety and efficacy..

Choose 6-year-old red ginseng. Ginseng accumulates nutrients over 6 years, and after that, the quality actually declines..

A 70% red ginseng root + 30% red ginseng rootlet ratio offers the best balance of efficacy and taste. If it's a gift, 100% red ginseng root is also a good choice..

Hello, I'm Happy from YakAl..

Did you enjoy the last article about red ginseng's efficacy and components??

When giving a gift or when you want to use it yourself... once you get to the store, the dilemma begins.. 'Are all '6-year-old roots' the same? And what exactly are 'red ginseng root' and 'red ginseng rootlet'??
Today I'm going to show you exactly where on the label you should look when choosing a red ginseng product, step by step..

1. Why Is the Health Functional Food Mark Important??

Red ginseng is not a 'medicine' but a 'food'.'.

But it's not just any foodâit's food that provides special benefits to our bodies..

Among such foods, only products whose safety and functionality have been directly verified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS)receive the ''health functional food' mark..

홍삼을 고를 땐, 제품 포장에서 건강기능식품 마크부터 확인해 주세요

In simple terms, the government has put a stamp of approval saying, "You can safely take this product.".

General foods don't go through such verification procedures.. So when choosing red ginseng, first check for the health functional food mark on the product packaging..

2. Why Specifically '6-Year-Old Roots'??

Ginseng has an age, just like people do..

Each year, ginseng extends new roots and accumulates nutrients..

After going through this process 6 times, the head, body, and legs develop in balanced fashion, becoming a ''youthful' ginseng.. This is precisely when nutrient content is at its peak..

But what happens if it grows for 7 years or more?? It becomes as hard as tree bark, and the commercial value actually decreases..

So when choosing a red ginseng product, 'look for one labeled''6-year-old roots'..

3. Red Ginseng Root vs. Red Ginseng RootletâWhat's the Difference??

When you look closely at red ginseng, it's divided into the body part and the thin fine root part..

Red ginseng rootis the body part..

It contains many soft, palatable components, so it's less bitter and more pleasant to the taste.. However, it's more expensive..

Red ginseng rootletis the fine root part..

It contains relatively more 'ginsenoside' (Ginsenoside), the key active component of red ginseng, than the body part..

This component is the key to improving blood circulation..

However, red ginseng rootlet has a strong bitter taste, and the price is relatively lower..

👉 For your reference, if improving blood circulation is your main goal,, [read our article on how to choose omega-3] as well, since they work synergistically with red ginseng.!

4. So What Ratio Is Best??

Most red ginseng products are made with a 70% red ginseng root + 30% red ginseng rootlet ratio..

There's a reason for this..

If you use only red ginseng rootlet, the ginsenoside increases, but it tastes so bitter that it's hard to take. Conversely, if you use only red ginseng root, it's milder, but the key components decrease..

70:30 is the balance point between taste and efficacy..

In fact, looking at the ingredients and content information on Cheong Kwan Jang's 'Red Ginseng Jelly Every Time' product, it follows this ratio..

On the other hand, products like Cheong Kwan Jang's 'Red Ginseng Decoction Jisam' are 100% red ginseng root products.. The taste is much milder, but the ginsenoside content is lower and the price is higher..

5. Pharmacist Happy's Recommendations

🎁For gifting â 100% red ginseng root product: The mild taste makes it comfortable for anyone to take.!
🌿If you want to experience red ginseng's benefits properly â 70% red ginseng root + 30% red ginseng rootlet product: You can get well-balanced components at a reasonable price.!

6. How to Read a LabelâRemember Just This

Look for the 'Ingredients and Content'section on the back of the product. There you'll find the ratio of red ginseng root to red ginseng rootlet..
