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?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb I read some informative articles on Tongkat the other day and thought ND could use the same writing style for your products. In the article the vendor claims that they have the best Tongkat though still not as potent as your 2% but they did a really good job in explaining things.
Yellow, Black or Red Tongkat Ali: Which is the best for you? - Akarali
Another article of theirs explaining why their product is superior.
Solaray Tongkat Ali Review: Does it work? And should I buy one? - Akarali

Ohh, a little update on the Akarali front. We went out and bought some of theirs to run through the lab. The results are back, and it is even worse than I expected. They failed their own spec!
Total eurycomanone content came back at 0.58%, which is far below their claims of 1.5% on their graphs when they compare their shit to ours. It's lower than even the minimum spec of LJ100's claim of 0.8%. I shouldn't be surprised, I guess. This is over a decade of me doing this now, and everyone is just lying and talking out their asses.
Look at this article they wrote: https://akarali.com/best-tongkat-ali-united-states/
They say theirs is 1.5% - 3% when comparing to ours. I think they just started lying even more lately, as they are now saying theirs is minimum 1.5% to 3%.

Just lies all the way down... Marketing is easier when you lie. Plus, this they completely ignore our 10% eurycomanone Tongkat. They only ever compare to our 2%, and then lie about how much theirs has to boot. If you compare our 10%, ours has over 17 times the eurycomanone as theirs. SEVENTEEN
