And it intensified the research for making antihypertensive drinks, thereby completing the ways to make jujube leaf antihypertensive drink and Chinese guttapercha leaf & buckwheat antihypertensive drink.

Besides, it provided technology for the deliberation of design of the first process at several Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories.

Its pilot plant has examined and turned over 100 technical directories for Koryo medicine production into PDF files and set up the databases of them to be employed by such factories across the country.
