'Saponin 40 mg/g or more' is a raw material standard

'Saponin 40 mg/g or more' does not mean that one finished stick contains 40 mg of saponin. It is a raw material specification: 40 mg or more of saponin per 1 g of the black ginseng powder used in the product.

The blend of one stick is read separately. Black ginseng powder is 12% of the 12 g in one stick. The standard of the raw material and the blend of one stick are different numbers counting different things, so please read them apart.

'100% black ginseng root body' is the part of the raw ginseng used

Black ginseng has a main root and fine roots. KOGIN Black Ginseng Stick uses only the main root, so its ginseng blending ratio is 100% black ginseng root body.

However, '100% black ginseng root body' does not mean that the finished product as a whole is 100% black ginseng. This product is made with 12% black ginseng powder, fructooligosaccharide, xanthan gum, and purified water.

The sweetness comes from fructooligosaccharide

The sweetness comes from fructooligosaccharide, and no sugar or high-fructose corn syrup is added.

Nutrition is read per single stick. One 12 g stick is 10 kcal, with 2 g of carbohydrate and 1 g of sugars.
