<strong>Korea</strong>n Insam<br />
Q. What makes <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam the best ginseng?<br />
A. KOREAN INSAM is grown in an optimal geographical environment and in climatic<br />
conditions suitable for the growth of superior quality ginseng. The growing period (180 days) is<br />
longer than in other growing areas (120 to 130 days). This increased growing period improves<br />
internal ginseng structure by producing harder and denser internal tissues which guards innate<br />
flavor. <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam has 34 kinds of saponin (Ginsenoside), which is much more than any other<br />
ginseng, such as American (14) or Sanchi (15). <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam also contains unique compounds,<br />
including Rh2 (restraining cancerous cells proliferation), Rg3 (protecting brain cells), and Rf, (an<br />
ingredient only can found in <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam). Finally, <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam exhibits more<br />
pharmacological activity than any other type of ginseng.<br />
Q. What is saponin in ginseng?<br />
A. Saponin is a widely found glycoside in plants. However, the chemical structure of ginseng<br />
saponin is completely different from those found in other herbs. Thus, for the purpose of<br />
differentiating ginseng saponin from those of other vegetables, it is called “ginsenoside,” which<br />
refers to “ginseng glycoside”.<br />
This compound has a big effect on the decomposition of fat, helps absorption of nutriments and<br />
promotes digestion. It also activates enzymes in cells to accelerate metabolism. Moreover, it<br />
increases energy and exhibits efficacy in such diverse recovery functions such as vitality, fatigue,<br />
powerlessness, and loss of appetite.<br />
Q. It is said that taking ginseng can cause body heat. Can I have it during hot summer<br />
days?<br />
A. Of course you can. <strong>Ginseng</strong> can supply modulated energy in summer by promoting<br />
metabolism in human body. Body heat from taking <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam is due to the promotion of<br />
blood circulation in the human body, rather than simply raising body temperature. <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam<br />
can modulate body temperature to the normal range and is a healthy food that is also good in<br />
summer.<br />
Q. I heard that ginseng is mainly taken by seniors or the infirm, so is there a problem if<br />
children or young people consume it?<br />
A. There are no problems with children or young people consuming <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam. For<br />
children, it is good for improving weakness, growth, and brain development. It also helps<br />
strengthen physical power after the completion of growth. However, children should not<br />
consume large amounts (less than 1/3 of the amount recommended for adults) and amounts<br />
should be given under the supervision of parents. For young people, it is beneficial to take <strong>Korea</strong>n<br />
Insam regularly for the purpose of maintaining health and for illness prevention<br />
Q. <strong>Ginseng</strong> produced in <strong>Korea</strong> is normally marked as <strong>Korea</strong> <strong>Ginseng</strong>, What is the<br />
difference between <strong>Korea</strong> <strong>Ginseng</strong> and <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam?<br />
A. The <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam name has been designated to clearly distinguish <strong>Korea</strong>n <strong>Ginseng</strong> from<br />
others produced in other countries. By using the <strong>Korea</strong>n Insam the brand name along with a<br />
distinct <strong>Ginseng</strong> character, this ensures that customers who choose ginseng produced in <strong>Korea</strong><br />
receive just that. When you buy <strong>Korea</strong>n ginseng, please be sure to check for the <strong>Ginseng</strong><br />
Character on the package. The <strong>Ginseng</strong> Character is attached only to ginseng products approved<br />
by a <strong>Korea</strong>n government agency after passing rigorous specification and testing.<br />
