According to the company, cumulative sales volume of Gwangdong Chimhyanghwan has reached approximately 27 million pills (based on 30 pills per box), and its repeat purchase rate stands at 99.8%, demonstrating high customer loyalty.


As the background for this growth, Gwangdong Pharmaceutical cited thorough quality control throughout the entire process, from raw material selection to manufacturing. Gwangdong Chimhyanghwan is manufactured by blending agarwood (16%) and deer antler (10%) as the main ingredients with 14 types of domestically sourced traditional ingredients, including cultured wild ginseng root, acacia honey, poria, prepared rehmannia root, and mulberry root bark.


Another key feature is the addition of agarwood extract essence to further enhance the agarwood content. This essence is a precious raw material that can be obtained at a yield of only about 1% from 100 kg of agarwood trees using a fractionating distillation facility that the company designed and built in-house. For deer antler as well, the company uses whole New Zealand antlers and selects only the highest grade (SAT) available at the place of origin to improve quality.


To ensure product safety and quality, Gwangdong Pharmaceutical operates an integrated quality management system. The company conducts precise testing for about 540 types of harmful substances, including residual pesticides, and produces the product through a 45-step process covering raw material receipt, production, and finished product quality inspection at HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point)-certified facilities. In addition, it has introduced automated systems in the filling and packaging stages to enhance hygiene levels and production efficiency.


A Gwangdong Pharmaceutical official said, "Our quality competitiveness, based on carefully selected ingredients and systematic processes, is translating into customer trust," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our research capabilities in natural substances and pursue ongoing quality innovation that further enhances consumer trust."



Meanwhile, to mark this year's Lunar New Year holiday, a special promotion has been prepared for customers who purchase Gwangdong Chimhyanghwan. When purchasing two boxes (30 pills per box), customers will receive two boxes of the main product, plus one box of "Gwangdong Yeongji Red Ginseng Premium" and one box of "Gwangdong Chimhyang Candy" as additional gifts.
