How we build products
Food, functional food and medicine are not separate business lines — they are different targets reached through the same three steps.
Reproducible quality
We document raw material specs, manufacturing conditions, marker compounds and lot records so the same quality can be reproduced.
Preclinical · clinical · RWD
We generate preclinical, clinical and real-world data in the format each target's review requires.
Approval · recognition · registration
We pass regulatory review to obtain approvals, recognitions and registrations, and bring products to market.
Key items
Our flagship businesses — one going to market as a botanical drug, the other as a functional ingredient.
An oral botanical drug candidate that standardizes a new combination of herbs based on a Korean medicine formula. It induces selective cancer cell death without toxicity to normal cells while activating the immune system.
Gastrodia elata fermented with JRP Bio's proprietary strain to increase its active constituents. We supply it first as a food ingredient and aim for recognition as an individually recognized functional ingredient after a human study.
Pipelines
Each asset gets a regulatory path designed for its purpose, and we publish progress at every step.

Every granted patent and SCI(E) paper is listed with KIPRIS and PubMed links. The lists are synced with the track record managed in our internal workspace.
Natural Products Foundry
Just as a type foundry turned manuscripts into standardized type, JRP Bio is building the Natural Products Foundry — development infrastructure that turns formulas into standardized product assets.
Formulation
Optimal combinations of core herbs from Korean medicine formulas
Processing
Fermentation and other pre-treatments to raise actives
Extraction
Extraction, concentration and drying to marker specs
Press
A base for producing its standardized botanical ingredients — the first production infrastructure for the Natural Products Foundry
