Core Business

From ingredients to brands —
three businesses linked by fermentation

70–80% of revenue comes from B2B ingredients. We connect R&D, production, distribution and consulting through a single fermentation capability.

01

Fermented-ingredient R&D · Production

We develop functional ingredients in-house through native probiotic & microbial fermentation, and produce them at our own facilities.

02

Global distribution · Export

We run a global network exporting ingredients and finished goods to five countries including India, China, Russia, Austria and Sweden.

03

Brand strategy · Product consulting

We partner with OEM/ODM clients from product planning through fermentation-recipe design to brand strategy.

Founder & Philosophy
“One path in probiotics since 1982 —
we believe in the power of fermentation.”

Vicell is a fermentation-bio company founded in June 2004 by CEO Ju Young-chul, who has researched probiotics since 1982. Our philosophy is to trace Korean plant-based ingredients and native strains all the way to standardized functional materials.

Honest ingredients proven by strain, potency and CFU rather than flashy marketing — we carry on the path of a “1st-generation probiotics specialist.”
