Frombio Co.

What Frombio Co. does

Frombio Co. (주식회사 프롬바이오) is a privately held South Korean health-functional-food and dietary-supplement company that manufactures and sells its products directly to consumers via its own e-commerce storefront at frombio.co.kr, a Cafe24-hosted shopping mall. The company is headquartered at FB Tower in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do (registered address per source), and operates a manufacturing facility (익산공장) in Iksan-si that produces its branded products in-house. Frombio is led by Representative Director Shim Tae-jin (심태진) and serves Korean domestic consumers; it does not operate outside South Korea and is not publicly listed.

The product portfolio is centered on two functional-ingredient platforms. The digestive-health line features mastic-gum-based supplements under the 위건강엔 (Wi-en Mastic) and 위&장엔 (Stomach & Intestine Mastic) brands, the latter combining mastic with probiotics or lactulose. The joint-health line centers on Boswellia (Boswellia serrata) supplements under the 관절연골엔 보스웰리아 (Joint & Cartilage Boswellia) and 관절튼튼 365 (Joint Strong 365) brands, both tied to celebrity endorsements by marathon runner Lee Bong-ju (이봉주). Adjacent categories — Norwegian herring oil (Omega-11), plant-based melatonin (Melamain 5.0), liposomal-glutathione film (DearQueen), wheat enzyme (Gold Kamut), all-in-one multivitamin, hangover shots, and a jelly-format supplement — extend the same direct-to-consumer model into broader wellness. Notable technical components include liposomal delivery for glutathione and probiotic-mastic combinations; no AI/ML, software, or data platform is present.

The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, with revenue driven by unit-priced volume packages (2-week to 8-month supplies; 35,000 to 760,000 KRW) and a new monthly subscription option, shipped via CJ Daehan Logistics with same-day dispatch for orders before 2 PM. Distribution is single-channel (the company's own storefront), with no disclosed third-party retail. No revenue, headcount, funding, certification, patent, or M&A disclosures were present in the source material.
