hy™ Wins Dual NutraIngredients USA Awards for Fermentation Innovation

The company’s SkinCare ingredient, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HY7714, claimed the Beauty-from-within category. Judges highlighted its ability to inhibit collagen degradation by signaling gut-to-skin pathways, effectively reducing wrinkle depth and improving hydration. Concurrently, the FatSlim ingredient, Akkermansia muciniphila AKK PROBIO, earned the Microbiome Modulation award. Derived from traditional Korean kimchi, this probiotic supports metabolic balance and cardiovascular health.

These patented ingredients serve as the foundation for ARIH, a premium lifestyle brand that prioritizes clean formulations by omitting artificial sweeteners like sucralose. The innovation is currently featured in the ARIH Postbiotic Energy Drink and Dual Biotic Soda, both available at Walmart. According to a company spokesperson, the awards validate a five-decade commitment to precision science, further solidifying hy™’s position as a global leader in pre-, pro-, and postbiotic research.
