Jung Kwan Jang said on the 30th that it will speed up its push into the health functional foods market by putting forward the brand "GLPro," which manages blood flow and blood sugar.
Jung Kwan Jang explained that as "health intelligence (HQ·Health Quotient)," in which individuals manage their own health status, has recently taken hold as a key trend, demand is rapidly growing for function-centered and customized products beyond simple supplement-focused health functional foods.

Riding on the product's popularity, "GLPro" launched a lifestyle habit management subscription service in collaboration with Pulmuone Healthcare. It is a program that combines health functional foods, customized meal plans, and blood glucose meters to help manage blood sugar in daily life.
"GLPro" uses as its main ingredient Jung Kwan Jang red ginseng (KGC05pg), which has been recognized by the Ministery of Food and Drug Safety for the functionality of "may help control blood sugar."
According to research by KGC Ginseng Corporation, in a clinical trial of 98 adults aged 40 and older, the intake group showed reductions of ▲9.07% in fasting blood glucose, ▲11.28% in postprandial blood glucose, and ▲1.68% in hemoglobin A1c. Insulin resistance improved by 22.8%.
The consumer base is also expanding quickly. In the case of "GLPro Double Cut," which emphasizes body fat management functionality, the share of male purchases reached about 43%, indicating an increase in male customer inflow, and new customers in their 20s to 40s are also growing, Jung Kwan Jang said.
A Jung Kwan Jang official said, "GLPro is a health solution that provides practical help for modern people's blood flow and blood sugar management," adding, "We will continue to support customers' healthy daily lives based on scientific research."
