Dongwha Red Ginseng Gold's key ingredient is an extract from six-year-old red ginseng, the optimal age for peak ginsenoside (a valuable saponin) content. This active compound has been shown to improve blood circulation, reduce fatigue, increase endurance, and promote physical recovery, making it ideal for marathon runners.
In addition to red ginseng extract, the product also contains a blend of natural herbs such as concentrated cinnamon, jujube, goji berries, and rehmannia.
A brand representative stated that their support for the marathon not only aims to energize runners but also encourages an active and resilient lifestyle. With a 128-year history (since 1897), Dongwha Pharm's participation reflects their commitment to the health of people in the Mekong Delta and nationwide.

The representative emphasized that a marathon is a test of physical and mental limits, where endurance and perseverance outweigh momentary speed. This aligns with the effects of the red ginseng drink. "It's not a fleeting alertness, but a foundation of strength built from within to maintain stable energy and effective recovery," they said.
During the two-day Expo, the brand also had a booth at Hau River Park where runners could sample the product and receive discount coupons.
