Korea Ginseng Corporation (KGC), a prominent global competitor in the health and wellness sector, has launched a new premium healthy ingredient brand named "G1899." This makes KGC’s entry into the global business-to-business (B2B) market for health ingredients.
The name G1899 honors KGC’s long history, going back to 1899, when the JungKwanJang brand was first established. It also reflects the company's goal to expand beyond red ginseng and offer a variety of standardized natural ingredients to customers worldwide.
With the rising global demand for premium, natural, as well as functional ingredients in the market, red ginseng is becoming popular. It is known for its non-GMO as well as gluten-free ingredients that fit well with current wellness culture. Korean red ginseng is scientifically proven and naturally sourced, and it is officially recognized by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its health benefits. Over 1,200 scientific studies worldwide have shown the effectiveness of ginseng and red ginseng.
Through G1899, KGC is planning to build on its strong legacy by offering high-quality ingredients, not just finished products. The company plans to use its global research expertise and top-quality production to share the benefits of JungKwanJang with partners and customers around the world.
