JungKwanJang, a South Korea-based health and red ginseng brand, has launched two new products for immunity and energy at Sprouts Farmers Market, a supermarket chain in the US.
The new products are Everytime Immune Support and Korean Red Ginseng Extract Vital Tonic.
Everytime Immune Support is a convenient stick-type red ginseng product designed to boost immunity. It has been specially developed for the US market.
Made with Korean Red Ginseng, elderberry, and pear concentrate, it supports the individual’s health and boosts immunity.
Korean Red Ginseng Extract Vital Tonic is a health energy shot that boosts metabolism and energy with red ginseng and vitamins. It is already being sold among all age groups in South Korea, including those aged 20-30.
The product comes in a portable ampoule formulation for easy, on-the-go health support.
Simultaneously, JungKwanJang is conducting scientific research on the efficacy and safety of red ginseng and other health ingredients at its research and development (R&D) centre in Fullerton, Los Angeles.
According to JungKwanJang, adaptogenic herbs like ginseng and ashwagandha are known for helping maintain body balance. Red ginseng, derived from ginseng, has been scientifically shown to boost the immune system, build stamina, and support blood circulation.
Red ginseng has also received official recognition from the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA0 for its benefits. The ingredient enhances immunity, improves blood circulation, combat fatigue, acts as an antioxidant, supports memory, aids menopausal health, and regulates blood sugar levels, the Korean brand said.
Additionally, research from Georgia State University in the US and Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea shows that red ginseng, when taken with vaccines, can enhance immune response and activate immune cells, JungKwanJang added.
Earlier this month, a study by Michigan State University (MSU) found that red ginseng supports bone and gut health by balancing intestinal microbiota. The study found that mice treated with red ginseng showed increased diversity of beneficial gut bacteria and improved intestinal barrier health.
