PMI BIOTECH Inc is a company that produces high-purity natural calcium products derived from environmentally friendly oyster shell resources through resource utilization facilities. We address current social issues and align with carbon-neutral policies by manufacturing natural-derived, high-purity calcium products. Our company utilizes a non commercial process known as the pure solution process to produce highly soluble, highly dispersed, and high-purity calcium products without the high-temperature heat treatment. While these calcium products have diverse applications across various industries, our primary focus is on producing "Tricalcium citrate and Calcium carbonate," which are high-purity natural-derived materials used in health functional food supplements for anti-aging and bone health, as well as ingredients for various beverages and food additives.

All calcium products manufactured by our company are produced using our proprietary pure solution process, which employs natural resources (oyster shells) in an environmentally friendly resource utilization facility. This process minimizes carbon dioxide emissions and achieves almost zero emissions of volatile organic compounds (TVOC) by utilizing our patented pure solution process during production. Unlike conventional calcium products manufactured through sintering processes at temperatures of 900 to 1000°C or higher, our company utilizes our unique pure solution process to remove all remaining salts from the raw materials and extract only pure calcium for production. Additionally, the calcium present in the oyster shells can be manufactured into high-purity products compared to other raw materials. The use of an aqueous process in production significantly reduces the levels of heavy metals compared to competitors' products. Moreover, our products offer over four times higher solubility and excellent dispersibility, ensuring a high level of quality.

Furthermore, in order to minimize the emission of environmentally harmful substances, our company practices energy-efficient methods such as recycling carbon dioxide and wastewater generated during the process. Through these measures, we are committed to carbon-neutral policies, putting the environment and people at the center of our efforts and enabling sustainable development. We embrace high-value, low-carbon, and renewable energy ESG management practices.

▣ Advantages of Tricalcium citrate and Calcium Carbonate:
1) High Solubility - Over four times higher solubility compared to competitors.
2) High Purity - Products with purity of over 99%.
3) Non-toxic Process - No high-temperature heat treatment due to 100% pure solution process.
4) Low Heavy Metal Content - Significantly lower levels of heavy metals in high-purity products.

▣ Advantages of Natural-derived Raw Materials:
1) No Radioactive Content - Unlike limestone, a conventional calcium carbonate raw material, which is extracted from rocks and undergoes high-temperature heat treatment, our natural-derived materials have no detectable radioactive content.
2) Bio-Mineral Content - Contains marine minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, etc.
3) High Reactivity - Due to the absence of high-temperature heat treatment and its high solubility and dispersion properties, our materials exhibit good reactivity when interacting or mixing with other substances.
4) Excellent Biocompatibility - Good biocompatibility leads to excellent delivery (calcium bioavailability).
5) Small Particle Size Benefits - Smaller particle sizes lead to better solubility, which in turn enhances ionization and absorption rates.

▣ Application :
1. Food Additives and Beverages:
1) Health Functional Foods - Used as a calcium source (calcium gluconate/calcium carbonate) in comprehensive vitamin supplements and health functional foods.
2) Food - Widely used for calcium fortification in various fields including confectionery and beyond (noodles, baked goods, etc.).
3) Beverages - Many companies in the industry use Tricalcium citrate instead of citric acid for beverages, including children's drinks and beverages.
4) Dairy Products - Used for calcium fortification purposes in soy milk and milk products.

2 Industrial Applications (Mainly Calcium Carbonate):
1) Pulp and Paper - Calcium carbonate is used as a raw material for paper, with a preference for small particle sizes for the production of final paper products.
2)Paints - Suitable for white paints and paints requiring specific properties (particle size and whiteness).
3)Detergents - Can be used as a substitute for citric acid, depending on the cleaning purposes of the citric acid itself.
4) Plastics - With around 30% content of calcium carbonate as a material, it can be utilized for eco-friendly materials and applications.

3. Cosmetics:
Registered as a cosmetic ingredient, it is also used for cosmetic formulations.

4. Calcium Supplements for Pets:
Due to the recent increase in single-person households, the number of households raising pets has grown significantly. Consequently, the market for pet calcium supplements has been rapidly expanding. Especially in the case of reptiles, a substantial portion of the products available for sale are calcium supplements derived from mussel shell as the primary ingredient.
