Pioneering nitric oxide research for global health

Dr. Chun Hyun Soo has spent more than two decades developing a fermentation-derived metabolite that raises nitric oxide directly, without depending on the NOS or nitrate-nitrite pathways.

The Origin

It began at his mother's bedside

My research did not start in a laboratory. It started with my mother, who was living with severe diabetes and hypertension that conventional medicine could not hold back.

I crafted a fermented blend of food ingredients already known to help regulate blood glucose and pressure, using fermentation to deepen their potency. Her recovery was dramatic, and it pointed to one answer: nitric oxide, produced without the NOS or nitrate-nitrite pathways the body normally relies on.

That single insight became twenty years of refinement.

The catalyst

A mother in decline

Severe diabetes and hypertension, unmoved by conventional treatment, set the question that would define a career.

The remedy

A fermented blend

Foods known to regulate glucose and pressure, made markedly more potent through fermentation.

The breakthrough

Nitric oxide, unlocked

Her recovery revealed NO as the key, delivered directly and free of NOS and nitrate-nitrite dependence.

The work

Two decades of refinement

Isolating, stabilizing and standardizing the metabolite across more than 20 years of study.

The reach

University collaborations

Partnerships extending the metabolite toward applications in both foods and medicine.

Achievements

A body of work, not a single claim

Twenty years of research distilled into world-first technology, defensible patents, and published science.

Technology

World-first NO metabolite

The first metabolite-based approach to nitric oxide, raising NO without the conventional enzymatic pathways.

Intellectual property

Patented stabilization

Patents covering the stabilization of nitric oxide metabolites through controlled fermentation.

Publications

Peer-reviewed research

Published findings on fermented extracts for inflammation and vascular health.
