Thinking about adding Korean Red Ginseng to your daily wellness routine but not sure where to start? With so many options — from extract and tea to tablets and whole root — it’s helpful to understand how each one works and which is right for you.
Here’s a breakdown of the most popular ways to take 6-year-old Korean Red Ginseng, and how to get the most benefit from each format.
1. Extract – Highly Concentrated & Fast-Acting
Our ginseng extract is made using state-of-the-art pressure and water extraction, preserving the full spectrum of ginsenosides. It’s the most concentrated form we offer.
How to use: Mix 1 gram of extract (using the included spoon) into a cup of hot water. Drink once a day, preferably before breakfast on an empty stomach.
2. Tablets – Convenient for Daily Use
Pressed from 100% pure ginseng powder, tablets are ideal for busy mornings or people who prefer a tasteless option.
How to use: Take 2 tablets once a day, ideally in the morning before eating.
3. Tea – Gentle & Soothing
Each sachet contains crystallised ginseng extract with jujube, lactose, glucose, and vitamin C — ideal for those new to ginseng or looking for a mild tonic.
How to use: Mix one sachet with hot water. Remove the tea bag after 4–5 seconds. Can be taken once daily or as needed.
4. Gummies – Fruity & On-the-Go
Infused with active ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1, our red ginseng gummies come in grape or pomegranate flavour. Great for mid-day energy without caffeine.
How to use: Chew 2–3 gummies during the day, as needed.
5. Whole Root – For Traditionalists
Steam-dried and vacuum-packed, whole roots are best for those who prefer a traditional preparation method.
How to use: Simmer 1–2 roots in water until reduced, repeat up to three times using the same roots. Store the tea and drink daily. Leftover roots can be used in cooking.
What’s the Best Format for Me?
Need strong support? Try extract or tablets.
Prefer something gentle? Go for tea or gummies.
Love ritual and tradition? Whole or sliced root is ideal.
Whatever your preference, the key is consistency — just 1 gram a day can support energy, clarity, and resilience over time.
