The Korea Ginseng Association introduced new evidence of Korean Ginseng's 
efficacy on bone health.

Korean Ginseng refers to ginsengs produced in Korea. Ginseng's scientific name, 
Panax ginseng, is named after the Greek word 'Panax', meaning cure for all 
diseases; indeed, ginseng has been sought after medicine since the ancient 
times. It has been proven to improve immune system and fatigue previously, and 
now even for bone health, as seen in recent research released in Korea.

In June of 2019, Rural Development Administration, Korea Research Institute of 
Bioscience & Biotechnology (KRIBB) and Hospital of Chonbuk National University 
confirmed the efficacy of Korean ginseng's efficacy on bone health in a 
research conducted for 3 years and followed up for another two years. The 
clinical application study was performed with three groups of female 
participants over the age of 40 and who suffer from bone loss. There were a 
total of 90 participants, with 30 participants in each group. The participants 
in the control group were given placebo, while the other groups were given 
ginseng extracts (3g per day and 1g per day). 

The results indicated that the level of osteocalcin was 11.6 times higher in 
the test group than the control group; the level of calcium was 3 times higher 
in the test group with 3g extracts as well. The change in Osteoarthritis rating 
before and after taking the extract was also significant, indicating ginseng's 
efficacy on improving pain and rigidity due to bone loss. 

In animal testing, ginseng extract (300mg per kg of mouse body mass) was 
administered for 8 weeks in Panax that were 112 weeks old. The result also 
indicated that bone density was 32% higher in the test group. The calcium 
concentration and bone formation effect were also higher in the test group. 

The Korea Ginseng Association's president Mr. Ban mentioned, "With this new 
evidence on ginseng's efficacy on bone health, we have even more pride for our 
Korean Ginseng. We hope to continue to find scientifically based evidence for 
the ginseng's benefits."
