Four decades of fermentation research
redefine the essence of health
We develop and produce functional ingredients and wellness foods using Korean plant-based materials and native probiotic & microbial fermentation technology.
Plant-based fermentation, perfected over four decades.
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.
Fermented-ingredient R&D · Production
We develop functional ingredients in-house through native probiotic & microbial fermentation, and produce them at our own facilities.
Global distribution · Export
We run a global network exporting ingredients and finished goods to five countries including India, China, Russia, Austria and Sweden.
Brand strategy · Product consulting
We partner with OEM/ODM clients from product planning through fermentation-recipe design to brand strategy.
“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.”
Three health challenges solved by fermentation
Plant-based wellness food
Functional wellness foods made by fermenting Korean plant-based ingredients — replacing animal sources while preserving nutrition and flavor.
Microbiome gut solutions
Using native probiotic-strain fermentation, we design microbiome functional ingredients that act on gut health.
Vegan yogurt fermentation
Core technology that delivers a smooth texture and fermented flavor from plant-based ingredients alone, with no dairy.
Building a fermentation ecosystem
through a network of trusted partners
From joint research with government institutes and universities to partnerships with franchises, food manufacturers and global labels — partners who have grown our fermentation capability together.
