8 Ways To Supercharge Your Health With Korean Red Ginseng
Cheong Kwan Jang has been considered the world’s #1 ginseng brand for over 120-years. Made from 6-year-old Korean Red Ginseng, it contains superfood properties that restore balance to the body, and protect it from physiological stress.
If you’re new to Cheong Kwan Jang you might be wondering, “which form of Korean Red Ginseng best suits me?”.
#1 Roots
Roots are commonly used in herbal medicine to fight off stress and disease. Cheong Kwan Jang harvests 3 different types of roots to cater for low-end to high-end budgets.
- ‘Good Grade’ is an entry-level root made from the Top 10% of Korean Red Ginseng roots harvested.
- ‘Earth Grade’ comprises the Top 2% of roots harvested.
- The most premium root on the market is ‘Heaven Grade’, made up of the Top 0.5% of Korean Red Ginseng. 'Heaven Grade' roots resemble the shape of a human, and modern science backs the ancient wisdom that they heal the whole body. ‘Heaven Grade’ roots are considered a symbol of health and wealth, and have even been gifted to royalty, notably Queen Elizabeth II!
Roots can be infused in a pot to make tea, or added to a healing dish like Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup. Roots come either whole or sliced (for convenience).
- Roots also come in ‘Cut Grade’, which is made up of pieces of ‘Good’, ‘Earth’ and ‘Heaven Grade’ roots. ‘Cut Grade’ roots have been broken during harvest and therefore don’t maintain a “perfect shape”.
#2 Extract
Extract is the most concentrated form of Korean Red Ginseng, and as research shows one of the most effective method of absorbing nutrients. Extract 240g is a jar of our best-selling product. Most people use the serving spoon provided to consume directly. Korean Red Ginseng has a natural earthy and bitter taste—if the taste is too strong for your liking, we recommend mixing a spoonful of extract and honey in hot water to create a tea.
#3 Tonic
Tonics combine oriental herbs with Korean Red Ginseng to create a mild-tasting, medicinal drink. Traditionally taken to stimulate wellbeing, tonics can be stored in the fridge, and drinking 1-2 pouches for 30-days can strengthen the body.
- For children we recommend Kids Tonic Step 1 (available in 3 steps for children aged 3-10), which is sweetened with pear juice to help protect kids from infection in communal school environments.
- i-Pass (ages 17-19), provides a burst of energy for teens focusing on studies like the HSC.
- For women aged 30+, look no further than Hwa Ae Rak Jin. Sweetened with pomegranate extract and loaded with antioxidants, it helps to regulate hormones and supports women pre and post-menopause.

- For the elderly you can’t go past Cheon-Nok Tonic. The powerhouse duo of Korean Red Ginseng and Deer Antler Velvet strengthens bones and promote faster healing in ageing bodies.
#4 Tablet
Tablets provide an easy-to-consume method for taking your daily dose of Korean Red Ginseng. Most companies make their ginseng tablets from powder, but Cheong Kwan Jang’s tablets are from Korean Red Ginseng extract. Highly concentrated, it increases efficacy up to 4 times!
