For those seeking chaga mushroom to protect their health, the quality of the product is the single most important standard—one that cannot be exchanged for anything else. Although countless brands and products speak of their own excellence, it is not easy to find a truly top-tier product that refuses to compromise at every stage, from raw materials to manufacturing.
The culmination of Ohkinam Chaga Mushroom's dedication, built up over more than 20 years of researching nothing but chaga mushroom, is none other than "Premium Gold"—a premium among premiums, created for those who insist on nothing but the very best. Today, we would like to share the deep story of how this special product came into being, and why so many people are enthusiastic about it.
A Long-Held Devotion to the Highest Quality
Throughout the many years spent running Ohkinam Chaga Mushroom and traversing the vast taiga forests of Siberia, I have always carried one dream in my heart.
When you personally handle and select countless first-grade chaga mushroom raw materials, you come across, among every hundred pieces, three or four of truly overwhelming quality. In shape, weight, the color of the inner flesh, and the density of the tissue, these chaga mushrooms reach a marvelous level that cannot even be compared to the remaining ninety-odd pieces.
The earnest desire to gather only such perfect, top-grade raw materials—ones that send an electric thrill through the entire body—and create a one-of-a-kind product for the world was precisely how "Premium Gold" began.
The Birth of 'Premium Gold,' a Limited-Edition Product
However, turning that dream into reality was no easy journey. Because only a very small quantity of such raw material was available, there were many economic and technical obstacles to operating the existing production process with it.
Nevertheless, driven solely by the stubborn desire to reveal the overwhelming value of this raw material to the world, we went through a long period of preparation and finally succeeded in our first historic production at the end of 2015.
At the time, we named the product "Limited Edition." It carried our sincere and honest sentiment: "Since we may not have the confidence to make this a second time, let us pour everything into making it properly, if only this once."
Fortunately, thanks to the passionate response of customers who experienced the product, the supply of raw materials and the manufacturing process have since stabilized. The name was changed to "Premium Gold," and it has now firmly established itself as Ohkinam Chaga Mushroom's flagship model, available on a regular, ongoing basis.
Uncompromising Raw Material Selection: The Miracle of the Top 5% of First Grade
The single most essential keyword describing "Premium Gold" is undoubtedly "raw material." Because chaga mushroom extract powder is a 100% pure chaga mushroom product with no other additives mixed in, the level of the raw material determines everything about the product.
While every product line of ohkinam Chaga Mushroom uses natural first-grade chaga mushroom from Siberia, "Premium Gold" insists on using only the very best raw material within that first grade—specifically, material that falls within the top 5%. Naturally, this means its production volume is inevitably smaller than that of the "Classic" or "Premium" products.
This is only possible because our company manufactures three brands—"Classic," "Premium," and "Premium Gold." If we were a single-brand company, using such a minuscule quantity of raw material would be realistically impossible.
Boldly excluding 95 out of every 100 first-grade chaga mushrooms and using only the remaining 5 precious pieces of raw material—this is the most decisive difference that sets "Premium Gold" apart from all other products.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Processes and Advanced Granule Technology
In order to fully preserve the value of such precious raw material, the manufacturing process also had to be extraordinary. Immediately after harvesting, the raw material used for "Premium Gold" is transported to a partner pharmaceutical company's facility in Siberia and produced in a state-of-the-art facility certified under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)—the standard for pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing.
This is not an ordinary food or extraction factory, but an environment as strict and hygienic as that used for pharmaceuticals. Because "Premium Gold" is produced in small quantities, we adhere to a small-batch production method infused with human care and attention, rather than relying solely on machines.
During the manufacturing process, in order to prevent the destruction of chaga mushroom's heat-sensitive active ingredients, we apply a low-temperature extraction and low-temperature concentration method, starting below 65 degrees Celsius and finishing below 45 degrees Celsius.
To this, we have added ultrasonic cell-fluid extraction technology, which draws out—without any loss—even the special nutrients located deep within chaga mushroom's characteristically hard structure. During the drying stage, we adopted a low-temperature spray rapid-drying method that removes moisture quickly, within 15 to 30 seconds, in order to prevent the nutrient loss that can occur during prolonged drying.
Above all, the unique distinguishing feature of "Premium Gold" lies in its "Granule technology." Thanks to this advanced technology, which forms a thin protective film around each individual particle of the finished fine powder—encapsulating the nutrients like a capsule—"Premium Gold" boasts an overwhelming preservation rate of chaga mushroom nutrients and an exceptionally dense nutritional concentration.
We Recommend 'Premium Gold' to These Individuals
"Premium Gold" is not a product we recommend unconditionally to everyone. This is because the product best suited to each person may differ depending on their financial circumstances and their purpose for taking it. Even so, we are confident that in certain situations, "Premium Gold" will be the best possible choice.
For those who pursue the absolute best in every aspect of a chaga mushroom product—raw materials, manufacturing process, technology and know-how, and final quality—"Premium Gold" is the only answer available in Korea.
It will also be an excellent choice for those who need to draw out the maximum benefit of chaga mushroom within a short period of time, for those who have been taking the "Premium" product and wish to experience one level higher in quality, and for those who want to experience the very best from the moment they begin taking chaga mushroom. For all of them, "Premium Gold" will be a choice they will not regret.
The Most Complete Chaga Mushroom Extract Powder in Existence
"Premium Gold" is not simply a product. It is a work embodying the dedication and pride of someone who has devoted more than 20 years to chaga mushroom alone. The sensation of electricity running through the entire body upon encountering overwhelming raw material, and the desire to convey that very feeling to consumers in its entirety—these are contained, whole and complete, in every single bottle.
To use an automobile analogy, we can confidently say that this product corresponds to a luxury masterpiece such as a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. A promise not to compromise on raw materials, not to compromise on the manufacturing process, and not to compromise on our customers' trust—"Premium Gold" is the purest crystallization of that promise.
The most complete chaga mushroom extract powder in existence, Premium Gold will continue to hold its place for a long time to come.
