The Plug also obtained long-awaited certifications: Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Plant-Based.

Future Plans:

2024 has been a busy year for The Plug, but they have no plans on slowing down. By the end of the year, they are aiming to release both 30-day and 60-day supplies of The Plug Pills in bottle form for those wanting to extend their daily liver support needs. “We had been thinking about creating The Plug Pills into a larger, more traditional format for quite a while now,” said Ray Kim. “We’re glad to take the leap into a different realm of innovation, and it makes us even more excited for what else is ahead of us, such as The Plug Blend in powder form. We hope that having a diverse range of product lines will bring more attention to not only our brand but to the importance of liver health.” With statistics of fatty liver disease on the rise (currently affecting 1-in-3 Americans), The Plug is determined to keep evolving and experimenting with different forms of ingestion in order for everyone to take care of their liver health in a simple and easy way. “We’re also in the midst of building our scientific advisory board and receiving expert guidance from our very own in-house scientists, doctors, nutritionists, and dieticians to further support our customers’ health journeys,” said Justin Kim. With new expansions and milestones achieved, The Plug is swiftly becoming a top advocate for liver health in the wellness industry as they forge ahead after their goal of becoming a household name.

About The Plug

The Plug, the leading all-natural liver health supplement brand, was founded in 2019 by brother-duo Ray and Justin Kim. After viewing South Korea’s advancement in the recovery industry and seeing the rise of Fatty Liver Disease (which currently affects 1-in-3 Americans), the brothers were determined to create a staple product for the American market. Enter The Plug Drink. The plant-based drink grew steadily in popularity with a heavy online presence and ultimately spread into retailers across California. With the introduction of The Plug Pills in 2023, Plug products have expanded into the retail channels of major American cities with the help of partnerships such as KeHe Distributors. The brand continues to grow and extend its reach, fulfilling its mission of educating consumers on the importance of liver health.
