The twelve questions
investors ask first

GRBM (Green Red BIO Metabolome) is an eco-bio material that a plant and its own lactic acid bacteria metabolize in advance through the VPMI process. It is designed as the total of metabolites bound with genetic material, absorbed without digestion and used by cells directly, without enzymes.

Vital Probiotics Mutualism and Metabolism Ingredients — a process that adds the bio-catalyst material VPMI-CM to fresh plants so that the plant's own lactic acid bacteria drive metabolism at 18–32 °C. It uses no heat, chemicals, salt or sugar, and completion is confirmed at pH 3.2.

The company describes GRBM as "metabolized", not "fermented". Instead of adding a single strain, it turns the microbial ecosystem inside the plant into a lactic-acid-bacteria-centred structure and uses the whole metabolome that results.

No. GRBM is an eco-bio food and makes no claim to treat disease. The human observations on the site come from the developer's (Wooyoung Nam's) research and will be published step by step through disease-specific clinical papers and independent verification.

Eight product lines under the 9-Way platform: the flagship GINSENG GRBM and PANAX GRBM, salt-free and low-salt metabolized kimchi (MFK), metabolome drinks (MFB), metabolized protein (MPM), personalized metabolic smoothies (MFS), bio-cosmetics (MCM) and high-purity candidate materials (MHM-PI).

A platform that links product sales with B2B ingredients, four levels of Bio Healthcare services (LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH, HOLON), AI health data and intellectual property. Prices and terms are provided in separate materials after an NDA.

We discuss technology transactions (all rights), strategic investment, pipeline rights and joint research and development. The developer holds 100% of the technology rights.

Holobiont research since 2005, the first GRBM model in 2010, and observation records of more than 600 voluntary participants from 2010 to 2026. The predecessor technology, salt-free and low-salt kimchi (Steps 1–2), was validated through patents in Korea, China and Japan, awards and about 30,000 tasters.

Download the Korean or English mutual NDA on the NDA page, sign it and send it to us; we then send the technical overview, business proposal, platform roadmap and partnership review materials in turn.

Yes. After an NDA, we hold on-site due diligence in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where you verify the process, samples and original observation records in person.

VPMI turns even young crops lost to climate change into food, manufactures at low temperature without heat or chemicals, and returns by-products to the soil. It connects with COP31's priorities of food security, health and biodiversity at the same time.
