SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Korea Ginseng Corp (KGC) celebrates the 122nd anniversary of its premium red
ginseng brand, CheongKwanJang.
One of the best ginseng in the world, Korean ginseng became a premium red
ginseng … The birth of CheongKwanJang
The history of the Korean government managing ginseng and red ginseng dates
back to 1899, the 36th year of King Gojong's reign during the Korean Empire
period. The empire established Samjeonggwa under Gungnaebu and executed a
monopolization scheme to control the production and processing of ginseng and
red ginseng.
The name CheongKwanJang was first used in the late 1950s when red ginseng
export increased. The title was to differentiate genuine Korean ginseng from
fakes produced overseas that attempt to steal the prestigious reputation of
Korean red ginseng. The name implies trustworthiness and credibility of the
brand whose products are processed and packaged in factories under the
government's direct management. The implication is marked by the word Cheong in
the title which means legitimate product.
Since then, the premium red ginseng brand's products have been exported to
around 40 countries joining the ranks of Hallyu food (K-food) and making the
brand to carry on the fame of Korean ginseng. Recently, the brand is beloved as
a "leading brand of South Korea" sweeping awards of institutions and media
outlets at home and abroad including the First Brand Award and Trust Company
Award.
Red ginseng has been loved by generations of South Koreans as an iconic dietary
supplement. The process of steaming and drying 6-year-old ginseng produces
saponins, red ginseng polysaccharides, amino sugars, minerals, etc. whose
harmony effectively reduces fatigue. The combination of nutrition reduces the
concentration of substances that cause fatigue while increasing
energy-generating hormones. In addition, the nutrition improves the immune
system by catalyzing macrophages's work which kills viruses and cancer cells.
Red ginseng was officially acknowledged for its healing effect by the Ministry
of Food and Drug Safety, South Korea's governmental agency responsible for
managing the safety of foods and drugs. Being acknowledged for its five major
benefits of boosting the immune system, reducing fatigue, improving blood
circulation, enhancing memory, and its antioxidative effect, red ginseng is the
most widely sold dietary supplement in South Korea. COVID-19 has created a keen
interest in the health of our immune system, so South Koreans continue to
embrace red ginseng for its beneficial properties.
