From some stem cells of Ngoc Linh ginseng, by cell biomass technology, the Military Medical team has succeeded in cultivating into large numbers. The whole process takes only 10-20 days, while normally it takes about 6 years for new ginseng to harvest.
Ngoc Linh ginseng (with the scientific name Panax vietnamensis or K5 ginseng, Vietnamese ginseng) was first discovered in 1973 in Dak To district (Kon Tum province). This is also the 20th ginseng species found in the world.

Plant cell culture technology in the appropriate environment and culture conditions will result in large amounts of cells containing active substances from one or a group of original cells.
This technology has the advantage of time from culture to very short harvest, only about 10-20 days. It is also unaffected by weather, epidemics, crops . In addition, the quality of materials is stable due to the strict control of the culture process, so it is suitable for production of medicines according to GMP standards. .
Pharmacist Vu Binh Duong, Research Center for Biomedical - Medical - Pharmaceutical Application, member of the research team said that the topic has been registered for Patent Patent at the National Office of Intellectual Property, won the First Prize of the Conference Youth Science and Technology Science Military Medical Academy 2007.
