SD BioScience obtains individual recognition approval for 'Jeungsuk Saenggang Chumool Powder'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] SD Bioscience, a company specializing in the manufacturing and sales of cosmetics and health supplements, announced on the 10th that it obtained approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on the 4th for ‘Jeungsuk Saenggang Chulchul Bunmal (GGE03)’ as an ‘Individually Recognized Functional Health Food Ingredient.’

An individually recognized functional ingredient is one that has been acknowledged for its functionality by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety through independent research. ‘Jeungsuk Saenggang Chulchul Bunmal’ was recognized for its functionality with the claim that it helps protect the gastric mucosa and supports stomach health.

SD Bioscience developed this ingredient from November 2017 to February last year with support from the Rural Development Administration’s ‘Agricultural Life Industry Technology Development Project (ipet),’ in collaboration with Professor Kang Dongho’s research team at Kyung Hee University, Professor Lee Sunmi’s research team at Sungkyunkwan University, natural product new material R&D company Genencell, and CRO company Research Mentor specializing in human application trials for health functional foods.

Through non-clinical trials, this ingredient was confirmed to have anti-inflammatory activity and efficacy in suppressing gastritis, contributing to stomach health. In a human application trial conducted on adults with mild to moderate functional dyspepsia, it was confirmed to contribute to the improvement of symptoms of mild to moderate functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome.

Additionally, SD Bioscience, through joint research with Professor Kim Eunhee’s team at CHA University, confirmed that this ingredient is effective against infectious gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. The related paper was published in December last year in the KCI-registered journal ‘Journal of Cancer Prevention,’ and a patent application for the related content has also been completed.

According to SD Bioscience, ‘Jeungsuk Saenggang Chulchul Bunmal’ can be advertised and labeled for stomach health benefits at a daily intake of 480mg. Based on this ingredient, the company plans to launch a stomach health functional food product in the near future.

Park Seolwoong, CEO of SD Bioscience, stated, “The results of our continuous research and development have been recognized through the first approval of ‘Jeungsuk Saenggang Chulchul Bunmal’ as an individually recognized functional health food ingredient, affirming our company’s capability in developing health functional food materials and granting us exclusive manufacturing and sales rights for this material.”

Meanwhile, SD Bioscience plans to apply for approval of an individually recognized ingredient for ‘blood circulation improvement’ this month and aims to apply for approval for ‘blood triglyceride improvement’ by the end of this year. Furthermore, the company is developing various materials with the goal of applying for individually recognized ingredient approvals for ‘sleep health improvement’ and ‘respiratory health improvement’ by 2023.
