[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] Yuhan Corporation has newly launched a health functional food product called 'Yuhan Baeksuo Royal,' which helps menopausal women's health.


The main ingredient, Baeksuo, was the first in Korea to be recognized as a functional ingredient that aids menopausal women's health and is safe from side effects caused by estrogen. The Baeksuo complex extract is the only one in Korea to have its ingredient safety recognized by seven countries worldwide, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


Yuhan Baeksuo Royal combines a total of eight complex ingredients, including Baeksuo, gamma-linolenic acid which can help improve blood circulation, vitamins B1 and B2 necessary for energy production in the body, vitamin D which helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis, and zinc required for normal immune function. It is a product designed for women preparing for the latter half of life after menopause, containing various ingredients necessary for women's health management.


At one time, Baeksuo products were stigmatized as 'fake Baeksuo' after the Chinese medicinal herb Epimedium (Iyeopupiso) was detected in the raw materials of many products. However, this was proven to be a false accusation as it was confirmed that Baeksuo and Epimedium share common genes.



In addition, Yuhan Corporation and Yuhan Health & Living independently developed a verification method called the '30 Verified Process' to resolve market distrust regarding Baeksuo. This method uses multi-barcode DNA analysis to thoroughly verify products at 30 stages, from raw materials to functional ingredients and finished products, demonstrating their commitment to offering only rigorously verified products.
