Samyang Foods Launches Healthcare Brand "Spindle"

First Product Launch:
Introducing "Muscle Strength & Akkermansia" for Muscle Enhancement

Samyang Foods announced on May 29 that it is launching a health functional food brand called "Spindle" and expanding its business into the healthcare market.

"Spindle" is a healthcare brand that aims to fundamentally improve metabolic health based on metabolic flexibility. Metabolic flexibility refers to the body's ability to efficiently utilize various energy sources, such as carbohydrates and fats, according to the situation.

Building on its expertise as a pioneer in the food industry with the introduction of Korea's first ramen, Samyang Foods plans to set new standards for metabolic health in the health functional food sector through the Spindle brand. The company will focus particularly on strengthening mitochondrial function, which is central to metabolism, and will offer differentiated solutions across various aspects of metabolic health such as weight management, blood sugar control, muscle health, and immunity.

The brand name "Spindle" is derived from the English word meaning "axis of rotation," reflecting the emphasis on mitochondria, which are at the core of cellular energy production and systemic circulation.

Along with the brand launch, Samyang Foods is opening an exclusive online mall for Spindle and introducing "Muscle Strength & Akkermansia" as its first product.

"Muscle Strength & Akkermansia" is a muscle enhancement care product based on metabolic balance, setting itself apart from conventional protein-focused muscle management methods. Its key ingredient is Akkermansia muciniphila, a patented raw material that was the first in Korea to be recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its muscle strength functionality.

Akkermansia is a gut microbiome strain involved in the regulation of the intestinal mucosal environment and metabolism, and recent studies have also explored its connection to muscle function. In human application tests conducted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, significant improvements were observed in various physiological and physical function indicators related to muscle strength.

The product is designed for a once-daily intake in the form of a single 200mg capsule, which contains 30 billion cells of Akkermansia, the maximum daily intake allowed under the Ministry's notification. In addition, the capsule is an ultra-small 15mm plant-based type for improved convenience, and special packaging that blocks external environmental factors has been applied to enhance stability for room temperature storage.

A representative from Samyang Foods said, "Spindle is a brand planned to present a new direction for health management based on metabolic flexibility," and added, "We plan to expand our product lineup across various aspects of health based on ongoing metabolic research."
