Spring is here. However, we need to take extra care of our health whenever the changing of the seasons brings a wide daily temperature variance. For this reason, it is recommended to take vitamin supplements.
Among the many vitamins available, elements of vitamin B are particularly important because they cannot be produced inside the human body. People need to consume it through food or supplements. This is especially crucial for many East Asians who eat rice as their staple food.
When people lack vitamin B, their gums become swollen and they develop a mucous membrane inside the mouth. The lack of vitamin B can also case beriberi which numbs the hands and feet, breeding difficulties, edema or even muscle pain. Vitamin B also helps with liver functions. Many people who enjoy smoking or drinking need to complement their diet with vitamin B. Since it is a water soluble vitamin, it is advisable to take a certain amount of it every day.
Reflecting the importance of vitamin B, YuYu Pharma Inc. came up with Venapollo, a vitamin supplement that was the first soft capsule pill on the Korean market. Many people prefer soft capsules to the pre-existing hard tablets since soft pills are easier to swallow and have longer lasting medicinal effects. As Venapollo contains a high proportion of neuro vitamins and active vitamins B1, B6 and B12, it helps people to recover from fatigue and menopausal disorders. It also complements the nutrition of the elderly and of patients who underwent surgeries. Venapollo has been loved for more than 50 years, becoming one of the best known nutritional supplements in Korea.
Focusing on various types of vitamin B, the pharmaceutical company developed a few varieties of Venapollo with enhanced functions and elements: Venapollo F in 1990, Venapollo Extra in 2011 and Venapollo Q10 in 2008. Last year, the firm launched Venapollo Premium, upgrading the core elements. Venapollo Premium contains not only the existing vitamins, but also active vitamin B1 and 50 milligrams of Benfotiamine, the ideal daily recommended intake. This product is also good for improving one's brain functions, treating peripheral nerves, neuralgia and backaches. It is also good for pregnant women, as it contains a high level of folate.
Founded in 1941, YuYu Pharma has been focusing on developing new medicines, contributing to the development of the pharmaceutical industry in Korea and improving the health of the nation. The firm has a plant in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do (North Chungcheong Province). Its research center is in Yeongtong-gu (district) in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do (Gyeonggi Province).
