[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] KGC Ginseng Corporation announced on the 15th that its independently developed ‘Hong Sam Oil’ has been officially recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as an individual acknowledged functional ingredient that can help maintain prostate health.

An individual acknowledged ingredient is a component that has undergone strict procedures such as preclinical trials and human application tests and has been individually recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its functionality and safety. Official recognition also means holding exclusive manufacturing and sales rights for the material.

KGC Ginseng Corporation confirmed through five years of research since 2018 that Hong Sam Oil helps prostate health and has completed patent application. Based on this ingredient, KGC Ginseng Corporation plans to launch a product next year that can help maintain prostate health.

Park Man-su, Head of R&D at KGC Ginseng Corporation, said, "Hong Sam Oil, recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its individual acknowledged functionality, is purely extracted and refined from Jeonggwanjang Hong Sam based on patented technology independently developed through KGC Ginseng Corporation’s continuous investment and effort," adding, "We will continue to develop various health materials domestically and internationally as a global comprehensive health company to contribute to the health of people worldwide."
