Barun 20-Grain Whole-Grain Fermented Enzyme Facts

Take a closer look at Barun’s special patented ingredient.

Made with naturally fermented whole grains, including wheat and white soybeans, to produce a naturally derived grain-enzyme powder.

Barun’s Special Recipe

Barun’s exclusive ingredient is protected by four registered patents—and can be used only in Barun products.

Barun's 20-Grain Whole-Grain Fermentation Process

20 whole grains → Low-molecular-weight fermentation → Naturally fermented enzymes

What Is Low-Molecular-Weight Fermentation?

This patented fermentation technology uses enzymes to break down larger components, such as proteins and carbohydrates, into smaller units—including peptides.

Patented Technologies

• Dietary composition related to cholesterol
• Production method for a low-molecular-weight whole-soybean liquid with improved sensory and nutritional qualities
• Method for processing mixed grains and producing convenient foods from them
• Convenient food and production method using a customized multigrain-rice recipe with enhanced antioxidant capacity

Each packet contains 40% Dietary Fiber*

✓ Contains 22% Chicory Root Extract

✓ Contains 18% Fibersol-2 (resistant maltodextrin)

*Dietary fiber normalizes bowel movements - it increases the weight of stool and softens it for easier passage

Packets also include Yellow Koji

Yellow koji (Aspergillus oryzae) is a naturally occurring fermentation culture widely used to make traditional Korean foods such as doenjang, soy sauce, gochujang, and cheonggukjang (청국장).

What Are Enzymes?

Enzymes are protein catalysts involved in every metabolic process in the body. They play an essential role in breaking down food and helping the body absorb nutrients.

When Is Barun Grain Enzyme a Good Choice?

• Your daily routine and eating habits are irregular.
• Your busy lifestyle makes it difficult to maintain healthy habits.
• You frequently enjoy flour-based, spicy, or heavily seasoned foods.
• You feel uncomfortable or worried about your daily bathroom routine.

A Mill Specialized in Misugaru

Traditional grinders often leave the millstone exposed, making them vulnerable to dust and impurities. In many cases, millstones are also used for long periods without replacement.

Young Mill uses hygienic stainless-steel grinders, the same standard used for baby food preparation. This ensures a clean process and produces a fine, smooth texture with an exceptionally gentle mouthfeel.

How to Take

Take 1 Stick, 1–3 Times Daily

Take Before or After Meals

Pour the powder directly into your mouth, or mix it into yogurt, milk, or your favorite beverage.

Q&A

Q1. I Feel Bloated or Gassy After Taking It. Is This Normal?

Because Barun Grain Enzyme is an enzyme-based food product, some people may need an adjustment period of approximately one week. If this occurs, reduce the serving size and gradually increase it over time. We also recommend taking it with plenty of water.

Q2. Can Children and Adults Take It?

Yes. This product is suitable for the whole family. For children who are new to enzyme products, begin with less than one stick per day and gradually increase the amount.

Q3. Can I Take It Alongside My Probiotic Supplement?

Yes. Probiotics are generally taken on an empty stomach in the morning, while Barun Grain Enzyme is recommended before or after meals, or whenever your stomach feels heavy or uncomfortably full.

Q4. Is a High Enzyme Activity Level Bad?

No. Enzyme activity indicates how actively the enzymes work. A higher value simply means greater enzyme activity and is not a cause for concern. You can enjoy Barun Grain Enzyme with confidence.
