SPRX KOREA CO., LTD.
«Weight loss as a daily habit, not starvation»
Korean functional products for weight control: sticks to be mixed into water, capsules, a meal-replacement shake and enzyme sachets. Seven items from a brand that has been running since 2011, manufactures to GMP and HACCP standards and sells through Korean pharmacies and retail chains
SPRX makes products to be taken internally, not cosmetics. The company calls the category premium semi-medical inner beauty: something a person drinks or takes in capsules to manage their weight, rather than something applied to the skin. For an importer this is a different product group: a different regulator, a different document set and different import timelines.
The company tells the brand's story like this. In 2011 its founder worked as a marketer at an Australian women's fashion brand and saw a customer faint in the store after a harsh diet. He resigned from there, took up the study of nutrition, and later built a brand around the idea that weight comes off through routine and balance rather than hunger.
Today the company has its own R&D centre, and manufacturing runs at sites certified to GMP and HACCP. Products are registered with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as health functional food. All of this is stated by the company and is verifiable from documents at the deal stage.
The company has already closed two markets with exclusives: China since 2018, Japan since 2023. In Korea the company reports an expansion into MUSINSA Beauty and Mega Factory, a presence in approximately 300 pharmacies in the category and in every location of “Dalla”, a retail chain of sugar-free diet snacks. On the remaining markets there are no exclusives, and those are exactly the ones that interest the buyers who come to us.

Health functional food
Watermix Zero in two flavours and Three Out — three items registered by the Korean regulator as health functional food. Watermix Zero is mixed into water: a 9 g stick, 21 sticks to a box, in grapefruit and shine muscat. The company states zero sugar content and an effect on post-meal blood sugar, body fat and digestive regularity. Three Out is a 500 mg capsule, 90 to a pack, with patented garcinia and probiotics and with pantothenic acid.
Meal replacement and calorie control
Poman Fullness Shake Green Coffee Bean is built on green coffee extract, alginate and glucomannan: 30 g per serving, 113 kcal. The company states fullness for up to four hours and swelling of the formula by 2,110%. Alpha CD Calozero is a 3 g stick with alpha-cyclodextrin of American origin; according to the company one serving binds up to 20.7 g of fat, which works out at roughly 186 kcal.
Everyday wellbeing
Westick Enzyme is an enzyme stick with mastic gum and a fermented grain complex. First Olive and Tomato Shot is an organic stick containing 60% organic cold-pressed tomato juice and 36.92% organic extra virgin olive oil.

Patented raw materials
In Watermix Zero and Three Out the company uses garcinia cambogia and resistant maltodextrin, and in the capsules probiotics as well, and it designates these components as patented. Patent numbers are not given in the materials and are requested at the deal stage.
Alpha-cyclodextrin
The base of Alpha CD Calozero is alpha-cyclodextrin; according to the company the raw material is entirely American. One 3 g serving binds up to 20.7 g of fat, which the company converts to roughly 186 kcal. The stick is sprinkled over a dish before eating.
The mechanics of fullness
Poman Fullness Shake Green Coffee Bean is built on a combination of alginate and glucomannan, which swell in the stomach. The company gives two numbers: swelling by 2,110% and a feeling of fullness for up to four hours.
Enzyme activity
The Westick Enzyme pack lists activity units for alpha-amylase and protease, but they are not fully legible in the photograph, so we do not quote them. We will ask the company for the exact values and add them once confirmed. According to the company, the product supports the breakdown of carbohydrates.
Manufacturing standards
The company states manufacturing at sites certified to GMP and compliance with HACCP, as well as conformity with the requirements of Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Copies of the documents are provided at the deal stage through Teranova.

- Stick sachets of 3, 9, 15 and 30 g

Two of the company's markets are taken: China has been closed by an exclusive distributor since 2018, Japan since 2023. On the remaining markets there are no exclusives and the company is open to talks. The category matters here: this is not cosmetics but health functional food, so importing it almost anywhere calls for separate registration. In Brazil it is handled by ANVISA, in Mexico by COFEPRIS, in Chile by ISP. The document set there is stricter and the timelines noticeably longer than for skincare, and that is worth building into the plan from the very start.
