What Is HemoHIM?

“HemoHIM is a new substance with special immune function that has been developed from Angelica radix, Cnidium officiale and Paeonia japonicum through biological engineering and radiation technology.”

HemoHIM stands for:

Hemo: is for Hemoglobin which carries oxygen from the red blood cells to the rest of the body where it releases the oxygen to burn nutrients to provide energy to power the functions of the body in metabolism.

H: is Hematopoeisis or Haemopoiesis is the production of all types of blood cells including formation, development, and differentiation of blood cells.

I : Immune System is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders.

M: is Modulation meaning regulating according to measure or proportion.

Basically, HemoHIM strengthens/regulates your immune system, help your body form fresh blood cells and hemoglobin. HemoHIM is patented in Korea, in the United States, Japan, and in Europe as “Herbal composition for improving anticancer activity, immune response and hematopoiesis of the body, and protecting the body from oxidative damage"

HemoHIM is a not a medicine, but a functional health supplement. It serves a special purpose of strengthening your   system. And the main ingredients are quite exotic: 1. Angelica radix, 2. Cnidium officiale, and 3. Paeonia japonica. These are herbs cultivated in the clean fields of South Korea, and were widely used in oriental herbal medicines for centuries.


Development of HemoHIM

HemoHIM was the name of a government research project by a team of Ph.D. scientists at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The South Korean government proposed the project to create a new substance that will radically increase human immune system in order to protect the nation’s most valued scientists at KAERI, who have much higher chance of getting exposed to radiation compared to other people. The team tested more than 1,000 different kinds of herbs to create a perfect substance to accomplish the project’s objective. To do that, it took the team about 8 years and government assistant of more than 5 million dollars. At the finish of the project, the Korean government decided to commercialize the substance to offer it to the general public. The truth is, not only the scientists working with atomic energy is affected by radiation, but we are all exposed to radiation in our daily activities such as using cell phones! Then the project name HemoHIM became the substance/product name and was offered to the general public.

There are four main organizations/companies involved in the production of HemoHIM:

1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI): Responsible for the research and development of the HemoHIM formula.
2. Kolmar BNH Co. Ltd.: Provides capital.
3. SunBiotech (SBT): The company responsible for making the actual substance with the formula provided by KAERI.
4. Atomy: The only distributor of HemoHIM.
At first, Atomy wasn’t the distributor of HemoHIM. But the company who originally distributed HemoHIM sold it at $1,200 for one month’s supply. When the South Korean government found out about the ridiculous amount of profit the company was making, it seized its contract with the company because they violated the agreement to make HemoHIM readily available to common folks. After all, HemoHIM was developed using common folks’ tax money! The beauty of HemoHIM is that the ingredients are readily available in clean uncontaminated fields of South Korea. The three main ingredients were widely used for centuries as herbal medicines, but it is the research and and technology of KAERI that took ordinary herbs into such a substance. In fact, even if HemoHIM was so good, if its ingredients were outrageously expensive, common folks like you and I wouldn’t have been able to take it everyday.
