Fermented Ginseng with Ginsenoside Compound K (CK) is an easily-absorbed final active metabolite after primary ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd etc.) have been transformed by intestinal microflora to remove the glucose side-chains in the ginsenosides. Because of the very poor transformation rate in human body and the fact that CK cannot be chemically synthesized, CK is too expensive (>200,000 USD/kg) to be a drug candidate, although many indications such as anti-tumor, hepatoprotection, anti-inflammatory and especially anti-Alzheimer’s were reported. For this, the company had developed an efficient fermentation process that significantly reduce the production cost which makes CK or CK-rich fermented ginseng a possible drug candidate or effective dietary supplement ingredient.
