What if a flatter stomach wasn’t about "eating less" through willpower, but "feeling full" through science? 

 

At Younglong, we stay close to our community. Through our recent "Real-User Challenge," we communicated daily with our customers and discovered an incredible trend. This wasn't just a clinical study; it was a movement of real people achieving real results by taking 3 tablets 30 minutes before a meal. 

 

Originally, we developed We-Shield Double Action for digestive relief. It features Spanish Licorice Extract (KFDA-certified) to protect the stomach and inhibit H. pylori, specifically designed with plant-based ingredients for those with sensitive digestion. But as our users cared for their stomachs, they found they were also reshaping their bodies.

A remarkable weight drop from 74.18kg to 66.88kg in just 21 days.

“Just 21 days between these two photos. No extreme dieting, no burnout—just a smarter way to eat.”


We asked our users in Korea to follow a simple ritual: Take 3 tablets of We-Shield with a full glass of water 30 minutes before lunch and dinner. The feedback was overwhelming :

From Stomach Protection to "Natural Portion Control"

 

This isn't a miracle; it's the Alginic Acid and CMC working in harmony. When taken before a meal, these ingredients expand in your stomach to form a soft, natural gel matrix.

In Korea, Alun-jeong is a famous pharmaceutical go-to for weight management. We-Shield Double Action delivers a nearly identical dosage of the same active ingredients :

  1. Early Satiety: Before you even take your first bite, your stomach signals to your brain that it's already partially full.

  2. The "Anti-Snack" Barrier: Because the gel takes time to digest, that "full" feeling lasts much longer, effectively killing the urge for sugary late-night snacks.

  3. The 21-Day Transformation: Our users reported visible changes in their "In-Body" (eye-body) measurements in just three weeks. By naturally reducing caloric intake without the stress of "dieting," the bloating disappears and the waistline begins to lean out.

💡 Q&A: Everything You Need to Know

 

Q: Are there any side effects of Alginate diet for long-term use? 


A: Alginic acid is a natural polysaccharide extracted from seaweed. Since it is a fiber-based substance that is not absorbed into the body but rather forms a gel and is naturally excreted, it is generally considered safe for long-term consumption.

 

Q: What exactly are the roles of Alginic Acid and CMC in We-Shield?


A: Alginic Acid reacts with stomach acid to form a protective "raft" to prevent reflux, while also providing satiety.

CMC(Carboxymethylcellulose) acts as a thickening agent that strengthens this gel structure, ensuring you feel full for a longer duration.

 

Q: What are the other benefits of We-Shield Double Action? 


A: Beyond weight management, its primary goal is stomach health. It contains Spanish Licorice Extract, which is KFDA-certified to protect the gastric mucosa and inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori. It's a dual-action solution for both your digestion and your waistline.
