25 May 2012, Singapore – It is well documented that Korean Red Ginseng has qualities to fight cancer, improve mental performance, relieve fatigue and even help Alzheimer’s and diabetes patients.

Ginseng’s active compound, which is the centre of much research, is Ginsenosides. It has been found that Korean Red Ginseng contains more Ginsenosides compared to ginseng from America and China. Dr. Kim Si Kwan, Dean of College Biomedical & Health Science in Konkuk University (Korea) says “pound for point, Korean Red Ginseng has better efficacy for every Singaporean’s dollar”.

Dr. Chang Yuan Shiun, Professor of Pharmacognosy at China Medical University, was recently in Singapore to promote the Korean Red Ginseng, together with Dr. Kim and Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp. Dr. Chang said, “Korean ginseng has been known for centuries as a root that can help alleviate a multitude of ailments, from cancer to diabetes.”

Both Dr. Chang and Dr. Kim also gave assurance that Korean Red Ginseng is not “heaty”.

The most prestigious brand of Korean Red Ginseng is Cheong-Kwan-Jang and it is produced by Korea Ginseng Corp. It is sold in various forms in Singapore, from extracts to capsules and even in the form of ginseng tea.

These products can be found in Watsons Personal Store at B2-59 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
