Meet our founder, Sophie Hood. Seoul Tonic is the result of combining Sophie's love for a social occasion, her borderline obsession with Korean culture and a deep interest in health, wellness and making people feel good! It was on one of her many trips to Seoul that she met Mr. Park, a third generation pear farmer who wanted to take his produce to the world. Sophie and Mr. Park partnered in 2021, and it is through this partnership that has enabled us to bring Seoul Tonic and the deep Korean history that comes with it, to the rest of the world.

• Korean Pear juice (87%) and concentrate (12%) are the two main ingredients of Seoul Tonic. Korean Pear contains key compounds, Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) and Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH).

• Hovenia Dulcis (fruit extract) (1%) is a natural source of Dihydromyricetin (DHM).

Besides an obvious difference in size (Korean pears can grow to the size of softballs), Korean pears are harder, sweeter and have an apple-like crispness, compared to the softer western versions. Korean pears also contain Potassium, Vitamin C, K and Folate as well as being lower in sugar and higher in fibre. However the thing that makes them REALLY unique is that the Korean pear contains the enzymes Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) and Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH).
