Its product portfolio includes probiotic supplements under the "Bifina" brand, collagen beauty drinks, health and gut-focused products such as the "CHO-TECH" series, and various functional food items including nuts, fruits, and mint candies for nose and throat care. The company also engages in the development and manufacturing of quasi-drugs and medical devices, supporting health and wellness through traditional and innovative preventive healthcare solutions.
