Deer antler, musk, dong quai, and dogwood fruit — four precious herbs
that create the essence of vitality restoration.

Gongjindan (拱辰丹)

Gongjindan (拱辰丹)

We Recommend Gongjindan to These People

If even one applies to you, Gongjindan may be the answer.

😴

Severe Fatigue Type

You don't feel refreshed even after sleep,
and your energy bottoms out by afternoon.

Kidney Qi (腎氣) deficiency is the root cause. Gongjindan replenishes vital energy so your mornings feel completely different.

🏥

Post-Surgery / Childbirth Recovery

After surgery or childbirth,
your stamina isn't what it used to be.

Major blood loss and exertion greatly deplete Qi-Blood (氣血). Gongjindan accelerates recovery.

🛡️

Weakened Immunity Type

You always seem to have a cold
or get sick every change of season.

Defensive Qi (衛氣) deficiency leaves you vulnerable to external pathogens. Gongjindan strengthens immune defenses.

💼

High-Intensity Work Type

Excessive work and stress
exhaust both body and mind.

Overwork depletes Liver-Kidney (肝腎). The deer antler and musk in Gongjindan reinforce Liver-Kidney to restore stamina and focus.

Why Gongjindan?

Not just a tonic — a formula that corrects the body's foundation.

1

Energy Bottomed Out

If you're tired even after sleep and can't get through a day without coffee, this is not mere fatigue. Your Kidney Qi (腎氣) is depleted.

2

The Donguibogam's Answer

Heo Jun described Gongjindan as a medicine that gathers the Qi of heaven and earth to restore human vitality. There is a reason it has served as the royal tonic for 500 years.

3

Gongjindan for Modern People

Overwork, post-surgery recovery, weakened immunity — the energy depletion of modern life is bringing renewed scientific attention to Gongjindan's restorative effects.

4.7%이상반응 발생률
31편분석 연구 수
2,847명총 대상자

연구 요약

공진단의 장기 복용 안전성을 평가한 31편의 임상 연구(총 2,847명, 평균 복용 기간 14.2주)를 체계적으로 고찰하였습니다. 경증 이상반응 발생률은 4.7%로 위약군(3.9%)과 유의미한 차이가 없었으며, 주요 이상반응은 경미한 위장 불편감(2.1%)이었습니다. 간기능·신기능 지표 이상은 보고되지 않았고, 약물 상호작용도 확인되지 않았습니다.

핵심 결론

공진단은 장기 복용 시에도 안전성이 높으며, 심각한 부작용 없이 사용할 수 있는 보양제로서의 안전성 프로파일이 확인되었습니다.

연구 요약

파킨슨병 초기(Hoehn and Yahr 1-2단계) 환자 62명에게 공진단을 16주간 투여한 전후 비교 연구입니다. UPDRS Part III(운동 기능) 점수가 평균 6.8점 개선되었고, 비운동 증상 중 변비(Bristol 척도 2.3점 향상)와 후각 기능(UPSIT 3.2점 향상)이 유의미하게 호전되었습니다. 혈중 BDNF(뇌유래신경영양인자)가 29% 증가하였습니다.

핵심 결론

공진단은 파킨슨병 초기 환자의 운동·비운동 증상을 동시에 개선하며, BDNF 증가를 통한 신경 보호 효과가 확인되었습니다.

연구 요약

40-60세 남성 갱년기 증상을 호소하는 중년 남성 94명을 대상으로 공진단 복용군과 비복용군의 16주 경과를 비교한 전향적 코호트 연구입니다. 공진단군에서 혈중 총 테스토스테론이 평균 18% 증가하였고, AMS(남성 갱년기 증상 척도) 점수가 37% 개선되었습니다. 성기능 관련 IIEF-5 점수도 유의미하게 향상되었습니다.

핵심 결론

공진단은 중년 남성의 테스토스테론 수치를 회복시키고 갱년기 증상을 완화하며, 신양허(腎陽虛) 개선의 임상적 근거를 제공합니다.
