[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Chamdahan Hongsam’s ‘Compound K Mild Stick’ is gaining significant attention from consumers as a Chuseok gift. Its key feature is converting the core ingredient saponin (ginsenoside) into its final decomposed form, Compound K, allowing it to be absorbed directly in the body without a separate digestion process.


Ginseng saponin is composed of high molecular weight compounds that must be broken down into low molecular weight forms to be absorbed in the body. According to data from the Korean Journal of Food and Nutrition, 37% of Koreans lack the enzyme needed to break down saponin into Compound K. Even among the remaining 63%, absorption rates are often low due to differences in enzyme levels. Chamdahan Hongsam reflects the Korean constitution by using a dual complex fermentation method involving microorganisms and enzyme treatment to convert ginseng saponin into Compound K.


Each packet of Compound K Mild Stick contains 10mg of Compound K, allowing for high-dose intake. It also contains ultra-fine ginseng powder ground to 7-8㎛, smaller than plant cells, preserving fat-soluble components such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K that are usually lost in regular ginseng extracts.


The production facility is HACCP certified, and no artificial fragrances or sweeteners are used during manufacturing. No preservatives, anti-caking agents, or thickeners are added to extend shelf life, ensuring safe consumption.



Chamdahan Hongsam is running a Chuseok discount promotion until the 5th of next month. Customers who purchase over 300,000 KRW during the event period will receive up to a 20% discount.
