Product detailed description

Korean black ginseng is one of the most prized botanical adaptogens in the world. Haeodam processes it using a traditional method – with no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives and no artificial flavourings – and packs it into convenient single-dose sticks you can take anywhere.

Each stick is a slim, firm sachet containing an exact dose of 10 g of extract. Using it is simple: tear the perforated corner, drink the extract directly or pour it into a glass of water, tea, coffee or any other beverage. The recommended use is 1 stick every morning, ideally on an empty stomach or with breakfast.

One pack contains 30 sticks – a full month's supply.

Black ginseng (흑삼, heuksam) is produced by repeatedly steaming and drying the Panax ginseng root – traditionally 9 times in succession. Each cycle transforms the chemical composition of the root: ordinary ginsenosides convert into rarer and biologically more active forms, particularly Rg3, Rg5 and Rk1. The resulting root is dark, almost black, and contains a significantly higher concentration of these compounds than red or white ginseng.

Ginsenosides Rg3 and Rg5 are of scientific interest for their antioxidant properties, support of the body's natural defences, and positive contribution to general wellbeing and vitality. Black ginseng has been used in traditional Korean medicine for centuries as a means of supporting energy and overall condition.

Haeodam uses only ginseng grown in the Geumsan region – an area with optimal climate and soil, recognised in Korea as the source of the highest-quality ginseng with the highest saponin concentration.

Balloon flower root – known in Korea as doraji – is a traditional botanical of East Asia, used in Korean cuisine and traditional medicine for thousands of years. Its active compounds are primarily platycodsides (saponins), which support the natural function of the respiratory tract and help maintain its comfort. Balloon flower root extract is also valued for its antioxidant properties and positive contribution to the body's natural immune response.

Combined with black ginseng, balloon flower root forms the synergistic foundation of this product – both ingredients are rooted in traditional Korean herbal practice and complement each other naturally.

Jojoba is a shrub native to the desert regions of North America. Its seeds contain unique wax esters, vitamin E and natural sterols. Jojoba seed extract is valued for its antioxidant properties and its ability to support the body's natural balance. Indigenous peoples of the Sonoran Desert traditionally used it as a nourishing dietary supplement and supportive remedy for various complaints.

Forty percent of each stick consists of pear concentrate. Pear is more than just a flavour element – in traditional Korean herbal practice it is combined with ginseng and balloon flower root as a natural complement that softens the bitterness of ginseng and improves the overall palatability of the preparation. Pear also contributes natural simple sugars and dietary fibre.
