So, What is the Musk?
  • Musk is a natural animal extract of musk deer(Moschus). It is a secretion obtained by drying the gonads of male musk deer living in the high mountains of China (Yonnan Province, Autonomous Region and Sichuan Province), Mongolia and Russia.)


  • It is herbal medicine which is being controlled internationally by the CITES(Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), concluded around October 1996.

    • Nepal musk is prohibited to distribute internationally.

    • The production of musk from China is extremely low, difficult to trade in reality

    • All musk currently distributed in Korea is totally imported from Russia.


  • The most important component of the musk is L-muscone and the musk also contains carbonate, phosphoric acid, potassium, collagen, ammonium, protein, cholesterol and fiber moisture.



The Effects of the Musk

  • Musk is a herbal medicine that has been used for a long time as a medicine that makes you feel strong, excited, and fainted.


  • The pharmacological action of musk promotes diuretic and sweating and excites the central nervous system. In particular, it excites the central nerves of the respiratory center and the heart, so it is effective in reviving it when used for patients with confusion.


However,

It must be imported only from Russia and distributed little fixed quantity because the musk deer is an endangered species in the world. For this reason, the supply and demand of musk is very difficult to buy and high price(1kg price is more than $ 120,000 USD based on quality).


The reality of Russian musk which is the only imported to Korea, is as follows,

The Moscow Times, Russia, reported how difficult it is for Russian poachers to hunt musk, and one German company offers to sell the hunted musk at $300 USD per 1g. However, the poacher mentioned that there was no musk deer to deal with it and rejected the offer.

  • According to the above data, musk imported from the Russian Federation in the last two years from 2019 to 2020, it weighs 659 kg, which must kill about 30,000 male musk deer.

  • The Russian musk is famous in the world so also exports to Germany, France and China. It is hard to believe that about 30,000 musk deer which is an animal listed in CITES, were slaughtered only for export to Korea during two years.
