Cosmax Targets Summer Makeup Market with Innovative Jelly Formulations Cosmetics manufacturer Cosmax is targeting the summer makeup market with innovative jelly formulations that enhance hydration and cooling effects while minimizing transfer in lip products. On July 30, Cosmax announced that it has applied jelly formulations to lip balms, blushers, hydrogel patches, mists, and cleansers, in line with the growing 'jelly core' trend in the fashion and beauty industry. The company plans to expand this technology to include sun care products, such as sun sticks. Jelly formulations are characterized by their transparent and elastic appearance, as well as their hydrating properties. Cosmax has intensified its formulation research to provide a refreshing and moisturizing experience for consumers seeking skincare benefits in color cosmetics. In the global beauty market, there is a rising trend for consumers to seek multifunctionality and ease of use in fewer products. Market research firm NielsenIQ has noted that consumers are increasingly prioritizing efficacy, ingredients, and multifunctionality while reducing the number of steps in their beauty routines.One of the flagship products, the 'Water Painting Jelly Blusher,' incorporates agarose gel extracted from seaweed. This design encapsulates moisture within a three-dimensional mesh structure, providing a resilient feel and a cooling sensation upon application. According to the company, the product also offers improved spreadability and color longevity compared to traditional balm-type products. It was nominated as a finalist in the ODM category at the 'Makeup in Paris 2026' beauty fair held in June in Paris. The lip products are tailored to meet the durability demands of consumers in China and Japan. In China, the term 'buzhanbei' refers to lip products that do not easily transfer onto cups, while in Japan, 'nomikai lip' is popular for its long-lasting color even during social gatherings. Cosmax has focused on developing technology that reduces transfer while maintaining shine or a matte finish. The 'Glowcoat' technology is applied to lip products with a clear gloss, while 'Blurrfix' technology is used for matte lip products that maintain a blurring effect, with both names now trademarked. A Cosmax representative stated, “There is increasing demand for visually refreshing jelly formulations and makeup products that enhance durability in various environments. We will expand our formulation development to reflect consumer preferences and usage patterns in different markets.”* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:12:00
Son of Slain Official Withdraws Lawsuit Against Coast Guard The son of Lee Dae-jun, a public official killed by North Korean forces in the West Sea during the Moon Jae-in administration, has recently withdrawn his damages lawsuit against former Korea Coast Guard Commissioner Kim Hong-hee and others. This decision comes nearly five years after the lawsuit was filed and follows the acquittal of all involved parties in related criminal trials.According to legal sources on July 30, the son submitted a withdrawal request to the Seoul Central District Court on July 13. The family's representative stated that they determined there was no practical benefit in continuing the lawsuit after all parties involved were acquitted in the criminal proceedings.The case began in July 2021 when the National Human Rights Commission of Korea found that the Coast Guard had violated the family's rights and dignity during the investigation process. The commission criticized the Coast Guard for publicly disclosing personal information about Lee Dae-jun's financial situation and recommended warning measures against those involved in the investigation.In response, Lee's son demanded a sincere apology from the Coast Guard and filed a lawsuit against Kim and two other officials. The claim amount was set at 2,020,922 won, symbolizing the date of Lee Dae-jun's death on September 22, 2020. Initially, the family indicated they would withdraw the lawsuit if the Coast Guard issued an apology, but no apology was ultimately given.The trial was referred to mediation after the first hearing in February 2022, but no agreement was reached, and proceedings were suspended for several years while awaiting the outcome of Kim's criminal trial.Kim was charged with distributing false information related to allegations of voluntary defection but was acquitted in both the first and second trials. The prosecution later abandoned its appeal, confirming the acquittal. Other officials from the security line at the time, including former National Security Office head Suh Hoon and former National Intelligence Service chief Park Ji-won, also received acquittals.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:08:00
Financial Investment Industry Pushes for Rebalancing to Reduce Volatility The financial investment industry is promoting the distribution of rebalancing trades. The focus is on spreading out rebalancing transactions, which have traditionally concentrated around market close, to both during trading hours and after the market closes. This strategy aims to minimize the impact of rebalancing volumes on underlying assets.To ensure market stability and protect investors, the industry has developed a self-regulatory response plan. Additionally, there is a commitment to continue joint efforts to reduce trading volumes of liquidity providers (LPs) and closely manage discrepancies.Investor risk disclosures and guidance will also be strengthened. The industry plans to support the smooth implementation of government measures, including raising the minimum deposit and enhancing investor education. Starting August 31, individual investors looking to make new investments or additional purchases in domestic and foreign listed single-stock leveraged products will need to hold at least 30 million won in cash.The Financial Investment Association will monitor the implementation and effectiveness of investor protection measures, such as the increase in minimum deposits. Furthermore, it plans to discuss necessary actions with the industry based on changes in trading volumes and market volatility affecting individual investors.Finally, the Financial Investment Association and the industry will continuously monitor market trends and cooperate with the government and relevant agencies on market stabilization measures.Hwang Seong-yeop, chairman of the Financial Investment Association, stated, "The industry is acutely aware of the recent increase in market volatility and the losses experienced by some investors. We will swiftly implement self-regulatory measures such as distributing rebalancing trades and managing LP trading volumes, and we will work closely with the government to ensure market stability and protect investors."* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:08:00
What Grammys lost when BTS walked away For five years, BTS wanted a Grammy, and the wanting was never hidden. The group submitted its music every cycle. Its members flew to Las Vegas and delivered performances that outclassed the ceremony hosting them, went home with nothing, and returned the next year to try again. On the red carpet in 2022, RM told American cable TV entertainment news operation E! News that the previous two years had been exhausting and devastating, and that a Grammy would make it all pay off. He said this as the leader of the best-selling act on the planet, which tells you the trophy had stopped being a prize somewhere along the way and had become something closer to a verdict he was waiting to hear. I watched that ceremony live on a Monday morning in the newsroom, the way Korea always watches American award shows, at the wrong hour and with too much riding on it. About 15 of us stood around the television, editors and reporters still in face masks in those pandemic days. When the "Butter" performance ended, nobody said anything, and nobody needed to. Whatever a world-class act was, we had just watched one. Minutes later the award went to someone else, and the gap between what we had seen and what the voters had seen was the whole story, though it would take four more years for BTS to say so themselves. They said it on July 29. Each of the seven members posted the same brief statement announcing that the group would not submit its music to the Grammys this year, adding a hope that music might be heard and loved for what it is rather than sorted by region or language. Big Hit Music asked that the statement be taken as written, and taken as written it is remarkable, because it asks for nothing. A boycott makes demands. This made none, set no conditions, named no grievance, and offered the Recording Academy no way to win them back. You negotiate with an institution whose judgment you still need. The one whose judgment you have outgrown, you simply inform. The timeline explains what the statement declined to. In February, the Grammys had their most open night in memory: Bad Bunny won Album of the Year with a record sung entirely in Spanish, the first in the award's history, while a song from an animated film about Korean pop stars became the first K-pop recording ever to take home a Grammy, its writers giving their acceptance speech in English and Korean both. For one evening, the ceremony resembled its own advertising, a room where the language of a song was no obstacle to its honor. In March, BTS came back from military service with ARIRANG, which opened with the biggest American sales week any group had posted in more than a decade. And in June, with BTS holding the number one album and number one song in the Academy's home market, the Recording Academy unveiled a new category: Best Asian Pop Music Performance, reserved for songs making meaningful use of an Asian language. Read that rule against the group's own history and it curdles. The song that earned BTS its first Grammy nomination was "Dynamite," performed entirely in English. Under the new category's terms, "Dynamite" would not qualify. So the institution that recognized these seven men only when they sang in English has now prepared a room they may enter only if they sing in Korean, and whichever language they choose, the room is never the main one. I doubt anyone at the Academy designed this on purpose. It reads like reflex, the old institutional habit of responding to a periphery grown too large to ignore by building an annex rather than widening the center. The Recording Academy has met this habit in itself before. In 2020, it renamed Best World Music Album as Best Global Music Album, conceding that the old term carried what it delicately called connotations of colonialism. "World," it turned out, had always meant everyone else, and the category had functioned as a holding pen with a friendly name. The Academy admitted as much and collected praise for the admission. Five years later, the pen has been rebuilt with Asia written on the gate. The vocabulary improved in the renaming. The habit did not. Bong Joon-ho saw all of this coming, in his own field, in the fall of 2019. Asked by Vulture why no Korean film had ever been nominated for an Oscar, a question resting on the assumption that Korea owed Hollywood an explanation for its absence, Bong refused the premise entirely and observed that the Oscars are not an international film festival but a very local one. The line traveled the world as a burn. It was actually a measurement, taken without heat, of an institution that had confused its own size with the size of the world, and it stung precisely because it was accurate and nobody in that world had been positioned to say it aloud. Four months later the Academy gave Parasite its highest prize, which was called history, though it might as easily be called an institution scrambling to agree with him. BTS has taken Bong's measurement and reached the opposite door, and the difference lies not in the judgment but in what each institution offered. Hollywood, once measured, opened its front entrance, so Bong walked in. The Recording Academy, once measured, offered a side entrance with a language test, so BTS walked out. These look like opposite choices. They are the same choice, made by Korean artists who stopped letting an American ceremony decide how large they were. The strongest case for entering anyway sat in February's ceremony itself, where Bad Bunny collected the open field's greatest prize and a specialty award in the same evening, proving a category can be a floor rather than a ceiling. But he arrived at that ceremony with something left to win. BTS would arrive with nothing to win and one thing to lose. Five nominations in open competition, five losses: that zero has hardened into a monument, and what it indicts is not the music, on which the world ruled long ago, but the room. Let BTS claim the inaugural Asian award and the monument inverts. The story of the group the Grammys failed to honor becomes the story of the group that finally won, in the category built for it, and a decade of open-field defeats gets quietly refiled as evidence the annex was needed all along. So the Academy will lose nothing visible in February. Award shows are practiced at not noticing who is missing, and the broadcast will glitter as usual. What it lost on July 29 is the thing no broadcast can generate. An award has no value of its own; it is worth exactly what the wanting of it is worth, and the wanting must be freely given. For five years the biggest band on earth gave it freely, showing up, performing, losing, returning, lending the ceremony the one asset it cannot manufacture, the sight of someone enormous still hoping. That hope was always the Grammys' property more than BTS's weakness. It has now been withdrawn, without anger, without demands, in a statement short enough to fit on a phone screen, by seven men who knocked at a door for years and were at last, generously, offered a smaller one. Submissions for the 69th Grammy Awards close on August 28. The ceremony follows on February 7 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where last February, for one night, the room briefly resembled the world. BTS will not be there to see whether it happens again. 2026-07-30 10:05:07
Military to Inspect Border Operations Following Controversy Over 1st Corps Guidelines The military is set to conduct an inspection of border operations across all corps following the controversy surrounding the 1st Corps' decision to change its live ammunition guidelines. According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on July 30, the Army's Ground Operations Command will begin inspections starting with the 1st Corps and extending to all subordinate corps. The inspections will examine whether there have been similar cases where corps commanders altered border operation guidelines at their discretion, as well as the operational status of common weapons at general outposts (GOP) and frontline guard posts (GP), among other aspects. A military official stated, "We decided to expand the scope of the inspection to all corps, not just the 1st Corps, which was at the center of the controversy. We will assess the operational status of common weapons and ensure that border operation units are functioning properly, taking necessary actions if needed." Under the Ground Operations Command, there are six corps in total, including five regional corps (Capital, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Corps) and one maneuver corps (7th Maneuver Corps). The 1st Corps, which oversees the western front, has faced scrutiny since it was revealed that it changed its border operation guidelines to prohibit the use of live ammunition in common weapons such as the K6 machine gun and K4 grenade launcher during GOP and GP operations starting in the first half of this year. While the principle for weapon operation in frontline units is to use live ammunition, the 1st Corps reportedly made this change at the discretion of the corps commander, opting to store ammunition only in boxes rather than loading it into the weapons. This measure is said to have been implemented to prevent accidental discharges, but some have expressed concerns that it could weaken the military's readiness in critical frontline areas. A military official noted on July 29, "We will review various aspects, including operational environments and the scope of commanders' discretion, through on-site checks and take necessary actions thereafter."* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:04:10
Stalking Incidents in Entertainment Highlighted by Hwang Jung-min Controversy The controversy surrounding actor Hwang Jung-min's private life and allegations of stalking has reignited interest in the stalking incidents faced by other stars.Recently, a woman identified as A claimed on social media that she had a personal relationship with Hwang Jung-min, sharing messages and recordings. In response, Hwang's agency, Sam Company, stated on July 29 that A is a suspect in a stalking crime who has continuously harassed Hwang.According to the agency, Hwang has filed a criminal complaint against A, and the court has issued temporary restraining orders against her on three occasions. A was fined 3 million won for stalking in February but has appealed the decision, denying the allegations and claiming she is contesting multiple incidents.A is also pursuing a lawsuit against Hwang for approximately 200 million won in damages, alleging that Hwang proposed business and creative collaborations based on their personal relationship, which were unilaterally terminated.The ongoing case involves conflicting claims from both parties, with formal trials and civil proceedings underway. However, this controversy has drawn attention to past instances where unwanted approaches toward celebrities have led to actual investigations and criminal penalties.Actor Choi Kang-hee recently spoke out about her own stalking experience. On July 15, she revealed on social media that she received a letter from an individual who stated that if she did not express a refusal, he would interpret it as consent and follow her in his vehicle. The person had approached her a few days prior.Choi emphasized that "silence can also mean refusal" and publicly requested that the individual cease attempts to engage with her without consent, highlighting that even non-malicious actions can instill fear in others.BTS member V also faced a police investigation due to a woman who attempted to approach his home.In October 2023, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul charged a woman in her 20s with violating the stalking punishment law after she attempted to access V's residence in Gangnam. Investigations revealed that she had visited his home multiple times. Police identified her based on a security guard's report and CCTV footage.Authorities issued an emergency order prohibiting her from approaching within 100 meters of V and from contacting him via phone or messages. They also investigated whether this woman was the same individual who had previously delivered a marriage registration form to V.Jung Eun-ji, a member of the group Apink and an actress, has also been a victim of prolonged stalking.A woman in her 50s was prosecuted for visiting Jung's home and sending hundreds of messages via social media from March 2020 to December 2021. It was revealed that she followed Jung's vehicle using a motorcycle.Despite police warnings, the harassment continued. The woman sent a total of 544 messages over approximately five months, even after promising to cease contact.In September 2024, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced her to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and mandated 40 hours of stalking crime prevention lectures.Bi and actress Kim Tae-hee have also suffered from a stalker who repeatedly visited their home.A woman in her 40s visited the couple's residence in Yongsan, Seoul, multiple times from 2021, ringing their doorbell. Despite receiving three warnings for similar behavior before the stalking punishment law was enacted, she continued her visits.After the law took effect, she was arrested in February 2022 for ringing the doorbell again, following a report from Bi.In January 2024, the Seoul Western District Court sentenced her to six months in prison and ordered her to complete a 40-hour stalking treatment program, noting that the repeated nature of her actions constituted a serious offense, even without malicious intent.TWICE member Nayeon experienced a stalker who followed her even onto an airplane after an overseas schedule.In January 2020, JYP Entertainment reported a foreign man who persistently approached Nayeon to the Gangnam Police Station, filing a criminal complaint for obstruction of business and seeking a restraining order.The agency stated that police warned the man multiple times in their presence to stop approaching Nayeon, but he continued his behavior. He later attempted to board the same flight as Nayeon upon her return from an overseas schedule, causing a disturbance on the plane. JYP subsequently requested police protection for Nayeon.While the methods of approach varied, these cases share a common thread: they began with online messages or unsolicited contact and escalated to home visits, stalking, and tracking movements in real life.Celebrities often have their official schedules and movements more exposed than the general public, and the line between normal fan interactions and unwanted approaches can become blurred.The Stalking Crime Punishment Act, which took effect in October 2021, defines stalking behaviors as approaching or following someone without just cause against their will, waiting or watching at their residence, and persistently contacting them through information and communication networks.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:04:00
Government to Transition 17,600 Police Vehicles to Electric and Hydrogen by 2035 The government is accelerating the electrification of the public sector, starting with the transition of police vehicles to electric and hydrogen models. By 2035, all new police vehicles, excluding special vehicles, will be converted to electric and hydrogen.On July 30, the Ministry of Climate Energy and Environment announced a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Interior and Safety and the National Police Agency at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, marking the launch of a project to promote the transition of police vehicles to electric models.Attendees included Minister of Climate Energy and Environment Kim Sung-hwan, Minister of Interior and Safety Yoon Ho-jung, and Acting Commissioner of the National Police Agency Yoo Jae-sung. The three agencies agreed to enhance the transition to electric and hydrogen police vehicles and establish a collaborative framework among relevant departments.Currently, there are approximately 17,600 police vehicles operating nationwide. As of the end of last month, electric and hydrogen vehicles accounted for only 2,185, or 12.4%, of the total.The National Police Agency purchases or leases about 1,908 vehicles annually. The government plans to ensure that all new police vehicles purchased or leased, excluding some special vehicles, will be electric or hydrogen by 2035.The government expects that electric vehicles, which have quick acceleration and low noise, will enhance police response capabilities. In the long term, it also aims to introduce patrol cars equipped with specialized driving and safety features for police work.The Gangnam Police Station will be designated as the first eco-friendly police station. It will convert 22 internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles and install nine 200 kW fast chargers at six district police stations and precincts, including Yeoksam, Nonhyeon, Cheongdam, Samsung, and Sinsa.Based on the results of this pilot project, the Ministry of Climate Energy and Environment plans to expand eco-friendly police stations to other regional police stations. It will also continue to identify large-scale demands for electric and hydrogen vehicle transitions in both the public and private sectors.Minister Kim stated, "The transition of police vehicles to electric and hydrogen models signifies that our police are taking the lead in addressing the national challenge of carbon neutrality. We will spare no administrative and financial support to promote the electrification of all modes of transportation in the public sector."* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:04:00
Korea's Fair Trade Commission to Inspect Wedding Venue and Planner Pricing The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) is set to inspect wedding venues and planning companies to ensure compliance with pricing information and cancellation fee disclosure requirements. This initiative aims to prevent unexpected additional costs for couples during the wedding planning process, including expenses related to venues, catering, dress rentals, and makeup services. On July 30, the FTC announced that it will conduct a focused inspection starting August 1 to verify adherence to important information disclosure regulations for wedding service providers. Couples have often faced challenges in obtaining advance information about venue rental fees, meal costs, dress rental prices, and makeup fees, leading to unforeseen expenses. In response, the FTC revised its important information disclosure regulations in November 2022, mandating the disclosure of wedding service prices. Under the revised regulations, wedding service providers, including venues and planning companies, must display service details, prices, cancellation fees, and refund policies on their websites or on the Korea Consumer Agency's 'Fair Price' site, as well as on the cover of contracts. Notably, practices that restrict access to pricing information, such as requiring membership or personal information input, are considered violations of the disclosure obligation. The upcoming inspection follows a six-month grace period since the regulations took effect, during which compliance rates have not sufficiently improved. The FTC plans to directly check whether prices and refund conditions are properly displayed on websites, the Fair Price site, and contract covers. Businesses that fail to comply may face fines of up to 100 million won. The FTC intends to gradually expand the scope of inspections by the end of the year to ensure ongoing monitoring and corrective measures. This effort aims to support couples in making informed decisions based on adequate pricing information. * This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:04:00
SK hynix Introduces Half-Day Interviews Focused on Critical Thinking Skills SK hynix is overhauling its recruitment process to select candidates with fundamental thinking skills and practical problem-solving abilities necessary for the age of artificial intelligence (AI). The company is shifting from a qualifications-based approach to a competency-based one by eliminating educational restrictions, discontinuing self-introductions, and introducing half-day in-depth interviews.The company announced on July 30 that it will accept applications for new graduate recruitment from August 20 to 26. The positions available include roles in design, device, research and development (R&D) processes, and mass production technology, with work locations in Icheon, Cheongju, Bundang, and Seoul.This recruitment marks the first significant application of the company's policy announced in June to completely abolish educational restrictions. Anyone can apply regardless of age or educational background. Given the rapid technological changes in the semiconductor industry, the focus will be on actual job performance and growth potential rather than standardized educational qualifications.The most significant change is the introduction of the 'half-day in-depth interview.' Previously, interviews typically lasted around 20 to 30 minutes and consisted of a question-and-answer format. In the new format, candidates will engage in tasks over half a day and participate in various types of interviews.During this process, SK hynix plans to comprehensively evaluate candidates' job expertise, logical thinking skills, AI utilization abilities, humanistic qualities, and their capacity to structure problems and derive solutions. The aim is to assess candidates' thought processes and problem-solving skills in real situations rather than relying on brief answers or pre-prepared interview techniques.This reform aligns with the vision for talent in the AI era emphasized by Chey Tae-won, chairman of SK Group. He has stressed the importance of individuals who can navigate multiple fields and design systems where humans and AI coexist, rather than those with knowledge limited to specific areas. He has particularly highlighted the need for individuals who can question the essence of problems and think critically, referring to this ability as 'thinking muscle.'The document screening process will also undergo a complete overhaul. SK hynix will eliminate the existing self-introduction section and introduce a new format where candidates directly describe their 'AI utilization capabilities' and 'semiconductor job expertise.'Instead of standardized questions about motivation or personal growth, the evaluation will focus on how candidates have applied AI in their work or learning processes and how they have solved semiconductor-related problems. This change reflects the reality that the proliferation of generative AI has made it difficult to distinguish candidates' capabilities based solely on traditional self-introductions.The recruitment information sessions will also move away from being centered on university campuses. SK hynix plans to hold regional recruitment information sessions in Seoul, Cheongju, Daegu, and Gwangju, open to anyone interested. These sessions will provide industry insights and job information not only to university students but also to youth and job seekers interested in the semiconductor industry.Additionally, a separate program will be established to identify AI talent early. SK hynix will host an 'AI Hackathon Competition' in the fourth quarter, where participants will tackle problems that may arise in the semiconductor field using AI, software, and algorithms within a limited timeframe.Outstanding participants in the competition will receive 'fast-track' benefits, exempting them from the document screening process and granting them immediate interview opportunities. This strategy aims to select top-tier AI talent through a separate pathway that is difficult to verify in the public recruitment process.A recruitment official from SK hynix stated, "We have restructured our hiring system to thoroughly verify candidates' fundamental problem-solving abilities and practical skills, moving away from a focus on qualifications and documents. We aim to actively recruit and nurture AI talent with strong thinking skills to maintain our technological leadership in the global AI semiconductor market."Details regarding the new graduate recruitment guidelines and information session schedules can be found on the official SK hynix recruitment website.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-07-30 10:04:00
Yuhan Corporation Launches Blood Sugar Management Probiotic 'DangQLac' in Mexico Yuhan Corporation has entered the Mexican market with its blood sugar management probiotic, DangQLac, marking a significant expansion into Latin America.On July 30, Yuhan Corporation announced the official launch of DangQLac in Mexico, where it will be marketed under the name Glucobiotic.Mexico is considered one of the largest health supplement markets in Latin America. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the diabetes prevalence rate among Mexican adults aged 20 to 79 is approximately 16.4% as of 2024, which is significantly higher than the global average.Previously, Yuhan Corporation signed a five-year supply contract worth about 13 billion won with a local partner in 2024 and completed the product registration process last year. The two companies plan to expand both online and offline distribution channels based on a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes local clinical trials.DangQLac is a probiotic developed from the strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HAC01, which took nearly a decade of research. This strain is the first in South Korea to receive recognition from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its functionality in reducing post-meal blood sugar levels.A Yuhan Corporation representative stated, "We plan to expand our business throughout the Latin American market by increasing consumer touchpoints based on the differentiated blood sugar management functionality of DangQLac."Meanwhile, Yuhan Corporation recently launched a new probiotic product, Wonderthin, which has been recognized for its fat reduction functionality.Wonderthin is based on the individually recognized probiotic ingredient L. plantarum ATG-K2, which has been approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its fat reduction capabilities.According to the company, human application tests showed an increase in basal metabolic rate and lean body mass after six weeks of consumption, with significant reductions in body fat and body fat percentage observed after 12 weeks. 2026-07-30 10:00:20
