Nature is full of medicinal herbs and plants with remarkable natural health benefits. Among them, Korean Red Ginseng, long regarded as one of nature’s most prized herbs, has become arising global health supplement in recent years for its outstanding efficacy in improving the recovery of fatigue, lowering blood glucose levels and controlling blood pressure. Its remedial efficacy is a no stranger especially amongst the Asian communities including Malaysians.

During the event, media were exposed to the various health benefits and recommended ways to consume Korean Red Ginseng via an interactive presentation by Ms. Lee Di Von of VHealth Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Mr. Ji-Hwan Kim, Manager of Global Sales Department of KGC, speaking at the cooking workshop event, “We are proud to continue our wellness journey in empowering Malaysians to inhabit a healthy lifestyle through Korean Red Ginseng. Committed to becoming a trusted health partner, we are always exploring for creative methods to effortlessly instill healthier nutritional habit and lifestyle with our Korean Red Ginseng CheongKwanJang products and what better ways than to incorporate this highly-reputable ingredient into delicious cuisines that Malaysians always come to love. With Ramadan just around the corner, we believe that this event is very timely to inspire our fellow Muslims to adopt a combination of balanced, nourishing and flavorsome daily diet to stay healthy and energized during the fasting period.”

“In addition, this is a great platform for us to further expand our reach into a broader market segment in Malaysia that is well-known as the melting pot of various cultures. Our recent achievement of additional Halal-certification as well as our latest product launch partnership with Astro GOSHOP’s Malay Channel allow us to introduce a wide range of Korean Red Ginseng extract products – ‘Everytime’ line-ups with different portions of Korean Red Ginseng and ‘Hong Sam Won’ in the Malaysian market.

While experimenting with the product-infused recipes myself, I realized that the extract contributes to enhancing the palates of everyday dishes. Simultaneously, the extract helps to increase the nutritional values of family meals without compromising its taste. I personally recommend Korean Red Ginseng-infused meals for the health-conscious Malaysians.”
