R&D Center

The Research and Development Center (R&D) develops excellent functional ingredients for health functional foods through
raw material standardization, safety evaluation and functional (preclinical and human study)
research using various ingredients such as naturally-derived animals and plants and microorganisms.

Functional materials developed based on scientifically verified research results realize the era of Healthcare 3.0, which is to extend the lifespan of human health through securing intellectual property rights and global licensing of materials.
