    Here in South Korea its sold and marketed for its overall health benefits., Outside of here its main benefit is treatment of impotence

    i drink a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. When I went home on midtour break in feb-march upon return I had a total of 2 months off of KRG and I swear i noticed the difference. I just felt ran down and like **** with my work tempo. I grabbed another 2 boxes in Songtan and since the end of april ive been drinking 2 glasses a day


    Ive yet to have a hang over

    Ive not slept past 8am and there have been days that ive fallen asleep at 2am.

    I feel so much better all day
    My recovery in the gym is much better

    Overall im sold on this stuff

    is it that same particular brand? they're known as being the absolute best in quality, period. But, I have to wonder if the difference in the very highest gtade vs. a lower grade is really a big deal, or if the price difference is mostly because it's a culturally prized root. Are you certain it's the 'red' panax you have?

    I've been doing business w/ these people for over 20 years (though have switched to a local Chinese herb shop recently) - their herbs have always been fresh & high-quality, and they've done me quite a few favors.

    Here's a link to their search page for ginseng:
    http://eastearthtrade.com/index.asp?...arch=GO&Page=1

    I just hope everybody treats this stuff w/ respect & avoids the "mass-quantities"/"more-is-better" mindset: you can really hurt yourself by being stupid w/ these herbs (I know I hurt myself - and more than once) - take this stuff as directed and BE PATIENT!

    Anybody want to ask specific questions about any of these, go right ahead: I'll happily answer what I can.

    $150 for 6 year aged whole root is great compared to the over $1000 that same company charges americans, just look over the net.

    Sorry for the slow response, bro - an *actual* three-ring circus would have been easier to navigate than these last few weeks...

    Anyhow, like I say, those are some good folks, and they have good quality & freshness for good prices.
