Namyang Dairy Product, which recently admitted to issuing a false report to exaggerate the health effects of its yogurt drink, "Bulgaris," is now embroiled in a patent infringement case.
"Inner Care," another yogurt drink made by the dairy company, comes with a health-supplementa pill placed between the cap and the bottle to drink with the beverage. And this combination is nearly identical to a rival's product.
Korea Yakult's prebiotics drink, "MPRO3," also comes with a health-supplement pill. Prebiotics are compounds that induce the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms such as friendly bacteria and fungi.
