Food & snacks from Korean brands, tested at home by the writers — with prices as written and where to buy.
Polyverga Bergamot Polyphenol Extract is a 120-tablet dietary supplement I tried in Korea because I often eat out and have greasy meals. I took two tablets with water daily and felt less bloated, though I did not record a specific duration or any weight changes.
The Day Our Child Health Tuntuntamin is a mango-flavored children’s multivitamin and mineral powder stick from Korea. I gave it to my child, who finds pills difficult to swallow and can be picky about meals; they asked for the mango powder themselves, and I found the once-daily sticks easy to carry and give after meals.
Lalavita NMNH 400 mg is a dietary supplement I chose to take with my parents after breakfast in Korea. We liked having several ingredients in one product, though the slightly lighter feeling on waking was only my personal impression.
GL Keep Melatonin Magnesium Tablets are a sleep supplement introduced in Korea. I received the product while struggling with poor sleep during diet and exercise management, but this post does not record a usage period or any changes in sleep.
Lemozen Tenyear is a solid lemon juice tablet product that I took with water on an empty stomach in the morning. It was easier than squeezing or pouring liquid lemon juice, and the tablets were easy for me to swallow. I had not used it long enough to judge any long-term changes.
Heukmidam Premium Black Goat Extract is a Korean black goat extract drink I chose as a Parents’ Day gift for my elderly parents-in-law and drank with them. Its three boxes of 10 sachets were easy to store, and I found the flavor deep and clean without a gamey smell; I especially preferred it warmed in a cup.
TokyoMeta Gold Pine Red Pine Forest Pine Needle Extract Tablets are a tablet-form food product I started taking after meals while reflecting on my irregular eating habits. They had almost no noticeable scent and were easy for me to swallow with water, while the easy-to-use lid made them convenient to take out.
Tokyo Meta Gold Pine Red Pine Forest Pine Needle Extract Tablets are tablet-form pine needle supplements from Korea. I took the provided product after meals and during work for several days; the scent was not overwhelming for me and it was easy to swallow and carry, though any lighter feeling after meals was only my personal, short-term impression.
Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Raw Soy Milk Powder is an unsweetened powdered soy milk made with Korean seoritae (black soybeans) and sea salt. I mixed it with cold water at work; it was nutty and mixed well, though I could feel the skin particles and had to stir it again after settling.
Garu Seonsaeng Fresh Soy Milk Seoritae is an unsweetened black soybean powder product I tried at home in Korea as a breakfast substitute. Mixed with 180 ml of milk, it dissolved better than expected and tasted nutty; although powder settled as I drank it, it did not feel chalky through the last sip.
Garuseonsaeng Mugwort Fresh Soy Milk is a seven-sachet powdered soy drink I tried as a quick breakfast or lunch during busy weekdays and while managing my weight. Shaken with 100ml of cold water, it dissolved smoothly and was thick, nutty, and distinctly mugwort-flavored.
Garu Seonsaeng Powdered Fresh Soy Milk Seoritae 99.3 is an unsweetened powdered soy milk in stick packs that I mixed with water before personal training. It was nutty, not sweet, and more filling than going on an empty stomach, though a seven-stick box can run out quickly if you drink it every day.
