Among them is the icariin activated water, produced by the Jinmyong Trading Company, which is highly appreciated among sportspersons for its good pharmacological action.

It is made by diluting honey and extracts of barrenwort, Kaesong Koryo insam (ginseng) and schizandra with activated water.

Icariin, one of main ingredients in barrenwort, has the effects of promoting endocrine function, lowering blood pressure and smoothing blood stream in coronary arteries. And Koryo insam and schizandra are efficacious for asthenia, indigestion, impotence, bronchitis and asthmatic symptoms.

Frequent drinking of it keeps hormonal regulation and is good for the treatment and prevention of endocrinopathy like mastopathy, thyropathy and diabetes and urinary and cardiovascular diseases.

Ri Yong Chol, who developed the icariin activated water, told KCNA that our goal is to develop natural drinks into famous products with national flavor, world-famous products with competitive edge.
