Korean Ginseng Corp VS ND Panax Ginseng

The KGC has been around for 125 years researching and optimizing panax ginseng per their website. I haven’t tried their products but it looks to be of extremely high quality.
On the other hand ND ginseng has been extremely underwhelming for me. I trust I am getting what I pay for with ND, always, but I fear what I pay for may itself not be of the best value if it’s something not in ND’s expertise, like ginseng, which has been used in traditional Asian culture for thousands of years and over time has developed much like a master craft does.
KGC has special harvest and processing techniques which are probably hard to know the specifics about unless you’re an industry insider. I think ND doesn’t do any of this for their ginseng which is why it has been underwhelming, as you are just getting the bare bones ginsenosides as promised. I don’t know where the line lies between science and bullshit, but I feel like there is something ND doesn’t know about with processing ginseng.
Has anyone tried KGC ginseng and can compare and contrast with ND?

After I saw this post, I went out and bought a bunch of stuff from Korean Ginseng Corp. Shit was expensive! It got here fairly quickly, and I immediately took 5 balls of the KGC red, one softgel of the extra strenth, and one stick pack of the potent ginseng honey. Honestly, I didn't really feel much. I did the same thing later in the day. I decided to take 5 balls and one extra strength softgel twice a day for like 8 days. After a couple days I did feel the effects, but I would hope so for how much I was taking! If I took the equivalent dose of our red ginseng twice a day, I would get the same effects for much cheaper. It seems like a good Korean red ginseng, but it's not going to blow your socks off acutely. I stopped taking it today. I am going to cycle back off it. We are also going to run it through the lab, because I think there is only 2.4% ginsenosides. We'll see after we assay it.
