JungKwanJang Korea Red Ginseng Extract Stick - Sugar & Caffeine Free Energy Supplements Everytime 3000mg Korean Red Ginseng, Natural Energy Booster for Men & Women, Nitric Oxide Brain Support - 30P

Satisfied

I'm interested in Korean culture and for a time have wanted to try a Korean ginseng supplement, however the cost has always been a put off for me. This pack in particular works out at around £2 per stick and you're supposed to consume one daily. This is certainly one the very high side of cost when it comes to health supplements. I was happy to take this on for review. The product itself is very nice, the packaging is premium and it doesn't feel like corners have been cut. The liquid itself tastes great, there isn't really any detectable unpleasant ginseng flavor. I think I noticed a small bump in energy, but it wasn't that significant and short lived, so I'm thinking perhaps it was more placebo. There are other health benefits associated with ginseng for it's long term use, however I think there are alternative ways to get it that are much better value. Jeong Kwan Jang really is considered the number 1 brand for ginseng and has high prestige in Korea. My understanding is that these premium ginseng products are typically bought as gifts as a thoughtful way to honor someone with a symbol of health. This particular box comes with two inner boxes of 10 sticks each. For a ginseng product, it's definitely a good one. But I think if you intend on taking ginseng regularly, you'll likely find much better value alternatives.

This is a 20 pack set of Korean Ginseng Extract. Each pack contains 10 ml liquid. Has mango flavour. Looks and feels high quality. Tastes nice.

Having never tried ginseng supplements before, I didn't have anything to compare it to, but the product was easy enough to use. There's a bit of liquid inside you can consume on the go as a refreshing treat or at home. Tastes sweet and mildly fruity. I haven't noticed any pronounced effects in terms of energy and wellness over and above what you might get from a standard multivitamin maybe, so for me it's not worth the steep price, although I certainly haven't had any bad side effects either.

I’ve been trying these sticks during afternoons when my energy dips. They’re convenient to keep in a bag and simple to take at work. The taste has a fruity note that makes it more pleasant than many other supplements I’ve tried, and it doesn’t leave any aftertaste. What I noticed most is a steadier lift rather than a sudden spike. It helps me stay focused through longer coding sessions without needing another coffee. I’ve also taken one before heading to the gym, and it gave me just enough push to get through without feeling jittery. Having them individually packed makes it straightforward to manage, and it fits well into my daily habits without needing preparation. For me it has become a small but reliable pick-me-up that feels more natural than reaching for more caffeine.

No information in English. Very bitter taste Very dissspointed

I’ve just tried this and have to say that the taste is palatable. There is a little bit of a sensation in the back of your throat after you’ve had it, and in your mouth, a feel as well. It's mild but it’s still there. With regards to what those foreign names are, they were a bit perplexing because I didn’t know what cyclodextrin was for example, and so had to do a little bit of research. I also was prepping my mug and water to mix it because I thought it was in powder form, but it’s actually liquid and that wasn’t apparent. Which means you can just take this on the go and just grab a sachet and when you want to use it, just rip it and drink it, that’s it. So that’s very good. Well of course it’s day one, so we’ll see how it goes further down the line. About £40 for 20 sticks means £2 a stick, which better be good. Not sure why they are halved in two othe boxes in the box that it comes in?

The properties and benefits of ginseng, particularly the Korean products, are well researched and plenty of information is available on the web. This product is very convenient insofar as it is presented in sachets of the required amount. Rip the top off, place tip in mouth, squeeze the packet and consume. Flavour is true to what I expect mango to taste like and it balances out the not-so-nice natural taste of ginseng. I find a decent boost of energy and mental focus when taking one of these sachets. Recommended serving is one per day, although I don’t need to use them that often. I’ve not had any nasty side effects since consuming this product. However, what I would say is don’t consume too late in the day as it might affect sleep. Price at the time of writing this review is £37.72 for 20 sachets, although this ginseng is a premium brand. If the requirement is daily usage, then this is going to turn out to be an expensive supplement. However, for occasional use like me then it comes down to personal choice. In summary, premium ginseng at a commensurate price but does the job very well.
