Jung Kwan Jang has launched a new complex gut health functional food brand called 'UBIOTICS.'
On April 29, Jung Kwan Jang announced that it had developed the brand by incorporating the concept of 'Eubiosis,' which refers to a balanced state of the gut microbial environment.
According to the Korea Health Supplements Association, the probiotics market grew to a scale of 772.3 billion won last year. Recently, the trend has shifted from a focus on single strains to managing the overall gut environment.
The new product launched alongside the brand is 'UBIOTICS Focus.' UBIOTICS Focus features a triple formulation of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. In addition to probiotics, it contains prebiotics to help the growth and activation of beneficial gut bacteria, and BBR, a postbiotic that has recently drawn attention for its cholesterol-improving properties.
UBIOTICS Focus supports the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, suppression of harmful bacteria, and smooth bowel movements. It can help improve the gut environment and aid in the excretion of LDL cholesterol from the blood.
Based on 127 years of ginseng research expertise, KGC has expanded into strain development, combining three patented ginseng-derived strains and red ginseng dietary fiber to create the only premium probiotic product of its kind in Korea. In addition, the formula guarantees 100 billion heat-treated cultured cells, further enhancing the product's competitiveness in quality.
