Huons is showcasing a diverse lineup of health functional foods (HFF).
Among these, the eye-catching product is MeritC MeritC&D Dual Mega. Building on the popularity of MeritC's steady seller, MeritC Acid 3000mg, it was planned in response to the high demand for high-dose vitamin D and launched as the highest content product ever in the MeritC brand. Each packet contains 3000mg of vitamin C, which is 30 times the daily nutritional reference value, and 5000 IU of vitamin D, which is 12.5 times the reference value. It allows for easy simultaneous care of antioxidants and bone health with just one packet a day. A Huons representative explained, "This product can be helpful for those who usually have little outdoor activity or want to naturally manage antioxidants in daily life."
Another representative HFF product from Huons is Eluvi Menolacto Premium. Menolacto is Huons' mega brand and the first and only female menopause-tailored probiotic HFF in Korea. It uses Lactobacillus acidophilus YT1, the only probiotic in Korea recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for improving women's menopausal health, as its core ingredient. In human application tests, after 12 weeks of intake, it confirmed improvement effects on individual symptoms of women's representative menopausal symptoms such as ▲hot flashes ▲vaginal dryness and decreased discharge ▲numbness in hands and feet ▲nervousness ▲depression ▲palpitations ▲musculoskeletal pain ▲fatigue ▲formication ▲headache. In the Menopause Quality of Life (MENQOL) assessment index, it showed significant improvement in all 27 items including ▲physical (3 symptoms) ▲psychosocial (7 symptoms) ▲vasomotor status (16 symptoms) ▲sexual status (3 symptoms).
Menolacto was launched in 2020 as the first and only menopause probiotic in Korea. Since then, it has ranked first for three consecutive years in purchase rate, awareness, and preferred brand. In particular, it has established itself as the definitive representative menopause probiotic by ranking first in repurchase rate for two consecutive years among menopause brands.
Menolacto Premium was newly launched in March last year as a premium line of the existing Eluvi Menolacto. It is a complex functional product that adds five ingredients necessary for menopausal women?selenium, vitamin D, biotin, vitamin B1, and folic acid?along with YT1. It is said to have secured differentiated technology through domestic and international patents on composition and manufacturing methods.
Menolacto Premium was released reflecting the demand of menopausal women concerned about the generation of reactive oxygen species that damage cells and the risk of osteoporosis, whose prevalence doubles after the age of 50. It is designed to conveniently address menopausal symptoms, gut and bone health, energy, and antioxidant management with one pill a day.
