Beverages Gaining Attention for Supporting Homebound Life Amid Prolonged Social Distancing

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As social distancing continues for a long time, food and beverage products that can easily relieve digestion and nutrient intake are attracting attention. This is due to an increase in consumers experiencing nutritional imbalance and weight changes caused by reduced physical activities such as outdoor activities and exercise, as well as frequent delivery food consumption.

According to the food and beverage industry on the 16th, Lotte Chilsung Beverage recently introduced a protein drink called ‘Masineun Choyu Protein 365’ for consumers who are interested in health and body management such as dieting.

This product is made using premium colostrum powder from the French dairy specialist company ‘Ingredia’ and contains animal proteins such as colostrum protein and milk protein, as well as plant protein such as pea protein, allowing for balanced intake of high-quality protein.

Jung Food offers ‘Vegemil Kkokkkok Chewable Oat Soy Milk’ which helps with nutrition intake and digestion. ‘Vegemil Kkokkkok Chewable Oat Soy Milk’ contains 1.1g of dietary fiber and 100mg of beta-glucan, which activates immune function.

Additionally, it includes calcium and vitamin D equivalent to 30% of the recommended daily intake for adults, making it a good substitute for breakfast or a healthy snack with meticulous nutritional design.

Pulmuone Nokjeup recently launched ‘Organic Kids Free’ as a beverage for children. This product was planned through interviews with over 200 mothers with children and matches children’s tastes with six kinds of domestic organic vegetables including tomato, carrot, broccoli, cabbage, paprika, and kale, along with three colored fruits.

Instead of sugar, fruit concentrate is used to enhance flavor, and it contains nutrients such as zinc and iron necessary for growing children. It is composed of three types: ‘Banjjakpuni’, ‘Tunteundni’, and ‘Toktokroni’.

Hyundai Pharm’s Miero Fiber is a drink that helps easily and deliciously consume dietary fiber, which is difficult to intake sufficiently in daily life nowadays. Dietary fiber is known to aid digestion and colon movement, facilitate bowel movements, and reduce absorption of fat and sugar, making it essential for maintaining a light and healthy body, especially in a low-activity ‘homebound life’.

Miero Fiber is available in four sizes: 100ml, 210ml, 350ml, and 1.2l. The 350ml product, which is convenient to carry and drink anytime, contains 9,000mg of dietary fiber, equivalent to 20 strawberries. It is also loved for its refreshing and sweet taste.
