International Women's Day... Spotlight on 'Woman Wellness' Products Supporting a Healthy Life

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Every year on March 8th is "International Women's Day." It originated in 1908 when American workers rallied to honor women who died in a fire at poor working conditions, and in 1975, the UN officially designated it as a commemorative day to improve the status of women worldwide. In Korea, it was officially designated as the legal holiday "Women's Day" starting March 8, 2018.

Since the official establishment of International Women's Day, actions and voices advocating for women's rights have continued across various fields for decades. In the distribution industry, the Woman Wellness market is growing. Related products aim to safely care for vaginal health and female diseases that all women worry about throughout their lives, helping women achieve a balance in physical, mental, and social health.

Vaginitis is known to be a common symptom experienced by 75% of women at least once in their lifetime. To prevent vaginitis and manage vaginal health, it is important to maintain a balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in the vagina. Consistent intake of female vaginal health probiotics can help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and suppress harmful bacteria in the vagina.

Nutri's "GinoMaster" is a vaginal health functional food that helps maintain the internal vaginal balance by promoting beneficial bacteria growth and suppressing harmful bacteria with probiotics that reach the vagina alive, thereby supporting fundamental vaginal health. It contains "Respecta Probiotics," recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for vaginal health functionality, and boasts the highest guaranteed count of 5 billion probiotics among vaginal health functional probiotics.

The functional ingredient Respecta Probiotics has been confirmed through human application tests that after 15 days of intake, it improves vaginitis symptoms, increases beneficial bacteria in the vagina, and reduces the Nugent score (a score indicating the degree of genital infection) caused by vaginitis. It is a specialized ingredient for vaginal health management that can also help reduce the recurrence rate of vaginitis. Additionally, Respecta Probiotics is a safe ingredient listed as GRAS by the US FDA, with beneficial components that are resistant to stomach acid and bile, stably adhering inside the vagina to help maintain vaginal internal balance.

GinoMaster also contains "Lactoferrin," a component abundantly found in colostrum. It uses a dedicated probiotic container that can preserve live bacteria vulnerable to light and moisture in optimal condition, guaranteeing 5 billion probiotics until the end of the shelf life at room temperature.

A Nutri official said, "Globally, 75% of the female population experiences infections such as vaginitis and various female diseases during their lifetime. While health is the top priority for women to lead autonomous and happy lives, it is also true that there has been a widespread atmosphere where women could not openly talk about vaginal health and female diseases. We will contribute to raising awareness so that women can confidently protect their health and take the lead in developing products that can care for women's daily concerns more easily and healthily."
