The functionality recognized this time is its potential to help maintain muscle strength, which may decline due to aging. In a 12-week human clinical trial involving 90 adults experiencing muscle loss, hy's research team confirmed that daily intake of 580 mg of Deer Antler Probiotic Fermentation Powder led to significant improvements in five areas, including grip strength, compared to the control group.

This achievement is significant as it scientifically proves the functionality of probiotic fermentation ingredients. The hy Central Research Institute plans to continue discovering new functional ingredients related to various aspects of aging, such as memory, cardiovascular health, and gum health, in response to the era of super-aging. hy will apply Deer Antler Probiotic Fermentation Powder to its own brands and also offer it for external sales.

Lee Jaehwan, Head of the hy Central Research Institute, stated, "Maintaining muscle strength is an essential factor for a youthful and energetic life," adding, "We will continue to provide various solutions for a healthy life by securing more anti-aging functional ingredients in the future."
