Korean red ginseng (KRG) is a heat-processed ginseng developed by the repeated steaming and air-drying of fresh ginseng. Compared to fresh ginseng, KRG has been shown to possess greater pharmacological activities and stability because of changes that occur in its chemical constituents during the steaming process. In addition to anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulatory activities, KRG and its purified components have also been shown to possess protective effects against microbial infections.

Ginseng consumption and risk of cancer: a meta-analysis
The findings in currently available research are not consistent with regard to the association between the risk of cancer and ginseng consumption. We aimed to evaluate this association by conducting a meta-analysis of different studies.

A Single-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study on the Efficacy and Safety of “Enzyme-Treated Red Ginseng Powder Complex (BG11001)” For Anti-Wrinkle and Pro-Elasticity In Subject with Healthy Skin
During the aging process, skin shows visible changes, characterized by a loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles due to reduced collagen production and decreased elasticity of elastin fibers. Panax Ginseng Meyer has been used as a traditional medicine for various diseases due to its wide range of biological activities including skin protective effects. Ginsenosides are the main components responsible for the biological activities of ginseng. However, the protective activities of enzymatic preparation of red ginseng against human skin aging have not been investigated.

The effects of Panax ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol on sperm function
Estrogen signaling pathways are modulated by exogenous factors. Panax ginseng exerts multiple activities in biological systems and is classified as an adaptogen. Zearalenol is a potent mycoestrogen that may be present in herbs and crops arising from contamination or endophytic association. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of Panax ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol in tests on spermatozoal function.

Anti-hypertensive effect of Korean Red Ginseng by enrichment of ginsenoside Rg3 and arginine-fructose
Ginsenoside Rg3 and arginine-fructose (Arg-Fru) are known as the hypotensive compounds of Panax ginseng, however, their efficacy on antihypertension has not been reported yet to our best knowledge. Thus, hypotensive components-enriched fraction of red ginseng (HCEF-RG) was prepared from fine root concentrate (FR) and their antihypertensive effects were investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Water-soluble ginseng oligosaccharides protect against scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment by functioning as an anti-neuroinflammatory agent
Panax ginseng roots have been used in Oriental traditional medicine for human health. Its main active components, such as saponins and polysaccharides, have been widely evaluated for treatment of diseases, but the secondary active components, such as oligosaccharides, were rarely studied. This study aimed to assess the impact of water-soluble ginseng oligosaccharides (WGOS), which are isolated from warm-water extract of Panax ginseng roots and its components were confirmed, on scopolamine-induced cognitive impairment in mice and its anti-neuroinflammatory mechanisms.
