Namyang Dairy Expands Free Support for Special Formula 'Ketonia'... "Reaching Out to Children in Difficult Situations"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Namyang Dairy Products announced on the 20th that it will expand its free support activities for the special formula 'Ketonia' for children with epilepsy through its social contribution program Care&Cure.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which brain nerve cells temporarily malfunction, causing repeated symptoms of temporary paralysis of brain functions such as loss of consciousness, seizures, and behavioral changes. Namyang Dairy Products developed Ketonia, a special formula that can help suppress these epilepsy symptoms, in 2002. It is the world's first liquid ketogenic product.

To help children who cannot receive proper treatment due to financial difficulties, Namyang Dairy Products signed an agreement with Severance Children's Hospital and has been supporting Ketonia for 12 years since 2010. This year, it signed a business agreement with the Korea Epilepsy Association and expanded the number of supported children from 3 to 10 in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Ketonia's development. Since the treatment period for children with intractable epilepsy is not fixed, continuous management such as ketogenic diet therapy is necessary.

In addition, Namyang Dairy Products and the Korea Epilepsy Association will carry out various activities to improve social awareness of epilepsy. In celebration of Family Month, they plan to conduct a parent education program related to epilepsy. The program aims to provide accurate information about epilepsy and convey the causes and treatment methods of the disease. Anyone interested, including patients undergoing treatment for epilepsy and their families, can participate. Details can be found on the Korea Epilepsy Association website or Namyang Dairy Products' official social media (SNS).

A Namyang Dairy Products official said, "We will continue our efforts so that social prejudice against epilepsy disappears and children with epilepsy can grow up healthily with warm interest and love."
