Last year alone it succeeded in the research into  the standard cultivation of Schizandra chinensis, thus completing “Guide to cultivation of Schizandra chinensis” and “Guide to cultivation of Schizandra chinensis seedlings” to be introduced at the Rinsan medicinal herb farm and established a method of managing the quality of various highly efficient Koryo medicines to be introduced at Koryo medicine pharmaceutical factories across the country.

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.

Meanwhile, the company issues the magazine Koryo Medicine Technology Bulletin.
