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.
