Amorepacific Obtains Individually Recognized Functional Ingredient for Sleep Quality Improvement

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Amorepacific announced on the 11th that its ‘L-Glutamic Acid Fermented GABA Powder,’ developed with 77 years of research and technology, has been recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as an individual acknowledged functional ingredient that can help improve sleep quality.

An individual acknowledged ingredient is a component that a manufacturer has researched and developed over several years and has undergone strict procedures such as human application tests to be individually recognized by the MFDS for its functionality and safety.

When consumed consistently, it can aid in improving sleep quality and is a safe ingredient for everyone from office workers to the elderly.

Amorepacific’s Vital Beauty stated, “The human application test results of the newly developed L-Glutamic Acid Fermented GABA Powder showed significant improvements in seven sleep-related indicators, including sleep efficiency, total sleep time, and total wake time,” and added, “We plan to launch a sleep health functional food using this as the main ingredient next month.”
