Korean Ginseng Extract Stick(10gx60 Stick)/ Made in Korea/Enhance Immune Support, Stamina and Focus/Energy Booster/for Vitality

It's taste good and very convenient

The media could not be loaded. It came today actually earlier than expected..... Will be cracking this bad baby open in the morning..... I have the Red Ginseng now I want to try this one The Black Ginseng..... I just know I'm going to enjoy.....

Did not do anything good

I'm fairly familiar with ginseng and it's results. Korean panax ginseng being my favorite. I have chronic fatigue and red ginseng (panax) is my friend.I can't say I have tried black ginseng. And honestly, it was really underwhelming. I suppose it did something...just not sure what. There was no marked increase of energy or focus. But I am going to keep taking it and I will update this review if there's a change in opinion about it. A quick search online shows there are different benefits from different types of ginseng. So I am not sure what to expect from this but I felt nothing by comparison of the previous experiences with other ginseng types.As far as taste, straight from the packet it is ok. I couldn't really figure out the flavor. So I added some to water and it's very much like a tea. So it's completely tolerable, unoffensive flavor. It's not sweet. It's not funky (considering it is fermented black ginseng). Just like a concentrated ginseng tea.

I like it so far even though I just started using it.

I ordered the 30 pack on 12/21. I wasn’t crazy about all the extra ingredients, but it was cheap and gave me a little extra energy since I cut out caffeine. I went back to reorder today, and it’s $20 more! At over a dollar a packet, I’ll order a better known and less diluted ginseng product.

I like the product. Thanks!

"Ginseng was first discovered and used by ancient Chinese. Traditionally, only white ginseng (or sun-dried ginseng), red ginseng and sugar ginseng were used as food and drugs, but because of the big loss of ginsenosides in the sugar ginseng, it is rarely used nowadays. Black ginseng is a newly-processed ginseng product with much stronger secondary metabolites; here are three prospects proposed to peers:While black ginseng is a newly processed ginseng, there are several products made of it and which have been approved in the health and food markets with a large consumption in the rich areas of China and Korea. Accordingly, further deep studies are imperative and safety assessment is required. Presently, ginseng aged less than 5 years could be used as a food material in China with a dose of 3g/day at maximum. Similarly, and because of the stronger anticancer activity of black ginseng, its dose limit should be precisely issued by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) in China and other countries.Unfortunately, almost all the scientific studies of black ginseng examined it as one drug, not as a member in a formula like most of the drugs in traditional Chinese medicine. Is there another medicine that could or could not be mixed with black ginseng or should it be used as one treatment? In addition, if the black ginseng could be used in a formula, the determination of its proper dose inside the formula needs further study. Furthermore, despite there being several clinical comparative studies of the three types of ginseng (white ginseng, red ginseng and black ginseng), the anti-fatigue action associated with qi deficiency—which is a vital action of ginseng—has not been studied sufficiently.More research should be driven toward the transformed ginsenosides of black ginseng; some of these ginsenosides have been detected in wild ginseng, such as Rg3 and Rh2 [157]; the engagement of these rare ginsenosides may elucidate the medicinal value of wild ginseng, which was a highly esteemed part of the old Chinese culture until now.. Additionally, it has been proven that the primary saponins usually biotransform in humans’ digestive tracts into the more active transformed saponins and/or their aglycone [10]. Presently, the ginsenoside Rg3 is developed as a cheap anticancer auxiliary medicine in China. The establishment of a simple preparation procedure of black ginseng decreased the preparation cost, which gives a good chance to develop a cheap and effective method to prepare these valuable transformed ginsenosides.In summary, research in black ginseng revealed a massive change in the phytochemical content aligned with the priority in several pharmacological actions of white ginseng and red ginseng; consequently, black ginseng is expected to play a greater role in the health of humankind as the research goes on." ~NIH studyFeels a bit like taking a shot of expresso personally, but I am highly sensitive to stimulants and its sort so take that with a grain of salt. I do not even drink coffee because it is usually too strong for me for example.Tastewise, I liken it to a mix of blackstrap molasses and coffee. it's sweet and has a brown sugar aftertaste. The liquid inside the packets (initially I thought it was a powder) is not running and the texture-wise is a hair more viscous than water.I'm using it like a stimulant personally for an extra oomph for exercise or doing work on my computer.7/10 I would recommend it. I hope this review is helpful.
