Traditional Korean medicine has used natural herbs and extracts such as Korean red ginseng, considered the most potent in the world, for centuries. This millennia-old tradition of "food and medicine" (약식동원/yakshik dongwon) is the origin of the modern Korean approach to supplements.

In Korea, supplements aren't just pills, but rather represent the thoughtful care we give ourselves. This is why Koreans often take multiple supplements daily.
