Ginseng Royal Black Ginseng FAQ

1. Why are there white, red, and black ginseng?
Answer: After harvesting, ginseng is processed in different ways to form various types such as white ginseng, red ginseng, and black ginseng. As the processing technology deepens, the flavor, ginsenoside components, and characteristics of ginseng also change.

• Sun-dried Ginseng (Fresh Ginseng): The most original state. It is not processed after being harvested from the soil, has high water content, is difficult to preserve, and is the starting point for all subsequent processing forms.

• White Ginseng (Air-dried treatment): Made by natural air-drying of fresh ginseng, processed at low temperatures throughout, preserving a state closer to its original form. Suitable for daily conditioning but has a shorter shelf life.

• Red Ginseng (Steaming treatment): Dried after high-temperature steaming, native ginsenosides (such as Rb1, Rg1) begin to convert into rare ginsenosides (such as Rg2, Rg3, Rh2), and antioxidant activity also increases, with a stronger flavor and longer preservation time.

• Black Ginseng (Multiple steaming and drying): Processed through repeated steaming and drying (nine steamings and nine dryings), the ginsenoside components in ginseng undergo transformation, forming different types of component combinations, such as the rarer Rg5 and Rk1 ginsenosides. Black ginseng is dark, hard in texture, and more refined in form, making it easier for the human body to absorb and utilize. It also has a richer flavor and best preservation.

In summary: From white ginseng to black ginseng, the deeper the processing, the richer the rare ginsenosides. It is a transformation process from raw to refined, from mild to rich.

2. What is "nine steamings and nine dryings"?
Answer: "Nine steamings and nine dryings" is the most classic and time-consuming processing technique in traditional Korean ginseng production, primarily used to produce the highest grade of black ginseng. This technique has a history of over a thousand years, originating from ancient Korean texts (such as "Dongui Bogam"), with the aim of transforming fresh ginseng into black ginseng with higher activity and easier absorption. The entire process requires repeating steaming nine times + drying nine times, taking approximately 30–60 days in total (depending on weather and ginseng age).

3. Why is black ginseng subjected to nine steamings and nine dryings?
Answer: Black ginseng is made by repeatedly steaming and drying white or red ginseng. This process is a reassembly of nutrients, aiming for more efficient absorption. The ginsenosides in white or red ginseng are mostly large molecules, and their utilization by the human body is limited. Through the process of nine steamings and nine dryings, black ginseng undergoes key changes:

• Upgrade from large to small: The original large-molecule ginsenosides are broken down and reassembled into smaller-molecule rare ginsenosides. These components are almost non-existent in raw ginseng and are unique to black ginseng.

• Efficient absorption: These small-molecule ginsenosides do not require lengthy digestion and can be utilized more directly and fully by the body after oral intake.

In short: Black ginseng is not only richer in nutrients but also solves the problem of "ingesting but not absorbing," making supplementation more effective.

4. What are the functions of these small-molecule rare ginsenosides?
Answer: These rare components each play their part, safeguarding your health from different dimensions. In short: Rg3 provides stable immune and energy support, while Rg2 and Rh2 demonstrate promising maintenance value in safeguarding normal circulation and neurological function.

• Rg3 (Core of Basic Defense): Supported by extensive scientific data, it effectively boosts daily vitality and supports immune health.

• Rg2 and Rh2 (Potential Essence): In scientific research, they have shown to support neural health, maintain normal metabolism and circulatory functions, helping the body maintain long-term physiological balance.

• Rg5 and Rk1 (Advanced Active Support): As extremely rare components in black ginseng, their unique structure (stronger lipophilicity) provides excellent biological activity, supporting deep cellular health and maintaining clear thinking, making them the first choice for high-efficacy nourishment.

5. Will nine steamings and nine dryings damage the active ingredients?
Answer: To extract higher concentrations of rare ginsenosides, black ginseng must undergo prolonged "nine steamings and nine dryings." During this high-temperature ripening process, the ingredients undergo the following changes:

• Essence Upgrade: The "Maillard Reaction" occurs, which is also why black ginseng has a deep color and rich aroma. This process converts ordinary ginsenosides into more active, smaller-molecule rare components.

• Ingredient Trade-offs: Prolonged heat exposure can reduce some water-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin C and B vitamins) and volatile oils.

• Nature Transformation: Some amino acids and polysaccharides will transform into more stable forms, making the medicinal properties change from the original "dry" to "gentle and nourishing."

6. Why steam and dry nine times? Is it a gimmick?
Answer: The nine steamings and nine dryings are supported by scientific data.

• Peak Ginsenoside Concentration: Studies show that fresh ginseng, when steamed 1 to 3 times, has components similar to red ginseng; with increased times (more than 5 times), the concentration of key components begins to rise rapidly.

• Limit Curve: By the 9th time, the color of black ginseng deepens (Maillard reaction), and the conversion rate of small-molecule ginsenosides reaches its most stable peak. If it exceeds 9 times, some active ingredients may be excessively carbonized and reduced.

• Market Symbolism: Although the difference between the 7th or 8th time and the 9th time may be minimal, "nine" in Eastern culture represents the ultimate. Scientifically, 9 times is a safe boundary to ensure thorough and undamaged conversion.

7. What is the difference between Korean black ginseng saponins and Jeju Island red sea cucumber saponins?
Answer: The two have different origins, ingredient structures, and main research directions.

• Black ginseng saponins come from ginseng and mainly support normal bodily oxidation, immune system health, maintaining normal cognitive function and concentration, as well as conditioning, etc.

• Jeju Island red sea cucumber saponins belong to triterpene glycosides, which are active ingredients unique to marine organisms. They help support metabolic health and maintain normal lipid and blood sugar levels.

Relatively speaking, black ginseng helps maintain daily physical strength and stress resilience; red sea cucumber helps comprehensively maintain normal physique and metabolism, and overall nourishment.
