"Hard to Make and Even Harder to Find"... Jeonggwanjang's 'Prostate Health Supplement' Sells Like Hotcakes

'Hongsam Oil RX Jin Clean'

Initial Batch Sold Out Early, Additional Production Also in Short Supply
Manufactured Using 0.05g Extracted from One Root of Hongsam
Increased Interest and Purchases Mainly Among Middle-Aged Male Consumers

KGC Ginseng Corporation's prostate health functional food, 'Jung Kwan Jang Hong Sam Oil RXGIN CLEAN,' launched last month, is creating a sensation. It is receiving great attention mainly from middle-aged and older male consumers. This product is made from a material that can only be extracted in small quantities from red ginseng. Although mass production is difficult, the number of people seeking it is rapidly increasing, causing a shortage within less than a month of its release.

According to the related industry on the 25th, KGC Ginseng Corporation recently distributed the second batch of RXGIN CLEAN to Jung Kwan Jang road shops nationwide. After the initial batch of about 10,000 sets released on the 31st of last month sold out in 13 days, emergency additional production began to supply a small quantity again. Even this is being sold first to consumers who made advance reservations.

A Jung Kwan Jang store official said, "The second batch was sold out to advance reservation customers as soon as it arrived at the store," adding, "The quantity is small, but inquiries from those wishing to purchase are rapidly increasing." With the launch of RXGIN CLEAN, the market landscape for Jung Kwan Jang products is also changing. According to the direct online mall 'Jung Kwan Jang Mall,' generally, women account for 70% of the total consumers using this platform, but in the case of RXGIN CLEAN, the proportion of male customers is overwhelmingly high at 86%. The age group of customers aged 50 and over accounts for 70%. Jung Kwan Jang analyzed, "It appears that middle-aged male customers suffering from prostate diseases are purchasing for self-administration." In fact, among those who purchased this product, the proportion of new members on Jung Kwan Jang Mall also reached 70%.

RXGIN CLEAN uses red ginseng oil, officially recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety as an individual ingredient for prostate health, as its main ingredient. Red ginseng oil is a rare material that can be extracted only 0.05g from one root of red ginseng. To make one capsule of RXGIN CLEAN, 10 roots of red ginseng are required. KGC Ginseng Corporation conducted research for five years from 2018, confirming through animal experiments and human trials that red ginseng oil helps men's prostate health, and last year officially received functional ingredient recognition from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The patent registration has also been completed.

Additionally, a joint research team of Professor Kim Se-woong from the Department of Urology at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital and the Natural Product Efficacy Research Institute of KGC Ginseng Corporation announced research results showing that consuming red ginseng oil effectively improves symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia such as frequent urination, nocturia, delayed urination, and urgency, and also improves sexual dysfunctions such as erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. This was published in The World Journal of Men's Health, a globally authoritative international journal in the field of urology.

A KGC Ginseng Corporation official said, "RXGIN CLEAN was initially planned to prepare a limited quantity for two months and continuously supply the quantity, but demand has exceeded expectations with the fastest sales speed among all Jung Kwan Jang new products, making it difficult to keep up," adding, "Requests from franchise stores to secure additional production are flooding in, and competition is fierce."
