Korean Red Ginseng — Best Alternative to Vitamin C

Forget about those tablets, go for ginseng supplements.

I won’t lie, I am scared of the COVID-19 pandemic. People all around the world have been panic buying, not just rolls of toilet paper and food, but also vitamins. In some stores, Vitamin C in forms of tablets or capsules has already been sold out, making me even more frustrated. So I knew I had to find an alternative.

I remember my grandma (who lives with us) recommending me to take ginseng tea that one time when I got so stressed at work. She said it’ll make me feel better, boost my immune system, and will fight burnouts. Aside from that, Korean red ginseng tea stimulates the nervous system, keeps the heart healthy, and balances women’s hormones. It was instant tea, and surprisingly, it tasted good! So I looked for it in the cupboard, and thank goodness, we still have a few packets. But I knew it won’t last us for long, so I needed to order some more.

The convenience of the KGCUS website

A few of my friends already have been buying online at KGCUS’s website. So I checked the site, and thank goodness they still have stocks of the Red Ginseng Extract Instant Tea, as well as other Korean red ginseng products such as tonics, capsules, and candies. I ordered two boxes of 100s and the Renesse candy in case we get a sore throat. They also have the Kid Tonic, which I also ordered for my 1-year-old twin girls. Just want the best for the little ones!

So if the stores in your area do not have any immune-boosting vitamins anymore, consider getting yourself and your family KGCUS’s instant tea. It contains the best Korean red ginseng root extract that has been grown for six years (for potency) and jujube fruit extract. If it isn’t your cup of tea, pun intended, you can consume Korean red ginseng in juices, like the Good Base: Plum or as Red Ginseng Latte. I can assure you, KRG is so much better than just Vitamin C alone!

Stay safe, everyone.
