CompoundK is a term used to name a substance whose high-molecular compound, Ginsenoside, which is ginseng saponin, has been converted into a low-molecular compound that can be digested into the human body.

The pharmacological effects of ginseng are known as nourishment (high nutritional value), strong body, strong heart, strengthen, Stomach Enhancement and  slowing excitement effect  and the further pharmacological effects of modern day have announced anti-stress, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer , anti- Fatigue and antioxidant.

This pharmacological effect is known to occur through saponins. However, the name saponin refers to the steroids, alkaloids, and triterpene compounds found in plants and the compounds attached to these sugars. Since white bubbles in potatoes, balloon flower roots and ginger are also called saponins, The saponin produced in the Panax species belonging to ginseng is separately named saponin of ginseng. Ginseng saponin is also called Ginsenoside, which means Ginseng's Glycoside. The ginsenosides are polysaccharides, a compound that combines sugars, and there are more than 30 kinds of derivatives found in ginseng so far. The approximate content of ginsenoside Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, and Rg1, which account for more than 80% of ginseng and wild ginseng, is 5, 2, 2 and 2 mg/g, respectively, with a total content of approximately 16 mg/g.

These are derivatives with two to four saccharide bonds per molecule, which are themselves not absorbed by the body and are transformed into active ingredients that must be degraded by certain microorganisms in the human intestine. This single-sugar body converted into an absorbable active ingredient is called a Compound K.

The name Compound K is known to have been used in a 1998 paper that says that when ginsenosides are fed to mice in Kobashi, Japan, they cannot be found in the blood.( Appearance of compound K, a major metabolite of ginsenoside Rb1 by intestinal bacteria, in rat plasma after oral administration--measurement of compound K by enzyme immunoassay. / Akao T, Kanaoka M, Kobashi K. / Biol Pharm Bull. 1998 Mar;21(3):245-9. )

Since then, Professor Zillabekz of Germany has published a report in 2003 that shows that absorption of ginseng saponin can occur only when the saponin breaks down in the intestines and becomes a compound K, leading to a study on compound k.
