STORY VIGINSENG

The Journey of Bringing Vietnam’s “National Treasure” Ginseng from the Pristine Highlands to Modern Life

Why is ginseng a common ingredient in everything from everyday chicken soup to skincare products in other countries, while Vietnam’s ‘national treasure,’ Ngoc Linh Ginseng, renowned for its exceptional medicinal properties, remains an exclusive luxury beyond the reach of ordinary people?”

Despite containing some of the highest saponin concentrations in the world, Vietnamese Ginseng has long been regarded merely as a rare medicinal resource, exploited to the point of depletion. Rather than serving public health, it has become a luxury reserved for the privileged, unlike the way developed countries have successfully integrated ginseng into everyday life. Determined to find a solution to this challenge, we embarked on a demanding journey driven by dedication and perseverance.

After 15 years of field research and building a solid scientific foundation, VIGINSENG Joint Stock Company was officially established in August 2023. Backed by a core team of master’s degree holders, pharmacists, and biotechnology experts united by a deep passion for indigenous medicinal herbs, particularly Vietnamese Ginseng, VIGINSENG pursues the mission of standardizing and elevating the value of native medicinal resources, gradually making the exceptional benefits of Vietnamese Ginseng accessible to households across the country.

We have chosen science-driven innovation as the path to solving the challenges of conservation and commercialization, transforming a once-exclusive “national treasure” into a practical source of nutrition and wellness for Vietnamese people today.
