Learning from the past and new

For what reason can Japan’s be proud? It is because We have full safe and effective evidence.

Other words, we extract ingredients that have been proven safe and effective over the 3000-year history of Oriental medicine in a combination that creates a synergistic effect. Moreover, for extraction, we only choose methods that have been proven to be safe, such as hot water, alcohol, or acetic acid. Recently, an extraction method that artificially destroys the cells of the material has been proposed, but we believe that there is a risk of unexpected components being produced, so we have chosen an extraction method that is guaranteed to be safe based on our years of experience.

Application of Oriental Medicine

Since our company’s establishment, we have been creating health foods to which the of Kampo(漢方) and Wakan(和漢) medicines are appliedand.

Kampo(漢方) is a medicine traditionally practiced in Japan that inherited the classical medicine established during the Later Han period in China, and Wakan (和漢) is a medicine developed uniquely in Japan based on Kampo(漢方).

Based on these wisdoms, we can create highly effective extracts, depending on the appropriate combination and extraction according to the purposes.

Therefore, we have continued to create extracts by effectively combining Chinese and Japanese herbal medicines that are recognized as food in Japan. Of course, the extraction method also utilizes these wisdoms. And we also sell these extracts and provide OEM products.

Manufacture of unique and effective products

Our strength lies in our unique manufacturing method, which uses Taizai(対材) and Hohzai-Pyramid(方材ピラミッド) which are designed to have synergistic effect based on the theories of Kampo(漢方) formula.

Taizai is a combination of herbal medicines that have a synergistic effect. By using this combination, you can bring out the original effects of the components, to the fullest.

Hozai-Pyramid® is a health food formulation method that combines Kampo medicine, Wakan medicine. It is our own formulation theory. This increases also efficacy synergistically.

The idea of Kampo and Wakan medicine is not to simply combine those that are expected to be effective, but to consider combinations that enhance the effect.

Japanese and Chinese herbal medicine materials

Some customers wight wonder why this material is included.

Once you understand alone mentioned formula method, you will be amazed at the wonders of Kampo and Wakan medicine

The current trend in the Japanese health food industry is to aggressively sell products that catch the popular fancy, even if they are ineffective. But, that the right thing to do?

Health food are more than just food. Health food can help improve your health. Therefore, it is wrong to sell something that is not effective.

There are many ineffective products on the market in Japan, but we create products that prioritize safety and effectiveness. Our policy is to deliver truly valuable health food.

 Description of Taizai(対材)

This indicates that mixed extraction increases the effectiveness of the active ingredients. First, select multiple herbal medicines that have synergistic effects depending on the desired effect. This combination is Taizai material. Then, the selected herbal medicines are mixed and extracted.

Effect of Taizai

For example, if you simply add the extract extracted from 1 unit of B to the extract extracted from 1 unit of A, the effect on the body will be 1+1, or 2.

However, if you mix and extract 1 unit of A and 1 unit of B, the effect will be 1+1 = 3 or more. Perhaps the mixed extraction caused a chemical change in the active ingredients, making them more effective. This is the wisdom of traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine.

If you would like any of our extracts, please contact us. We will deliver the product after detailed discussions with the export agent.

 Description of Hozai-Pyramid(方材ピラミッド)

Hozai-Pyramid(方材ピラミッド) is divided into Kunzai(君材), Shinzai(臣材), Sazai(佐材), Shizai(使材), and Wazai(和材).

【Diagram of Hozai-Pyramid】

Diagram of Hozai-Pyramid

Kunzai is a herbal medicine that can be expected to have the strongest effects, and Shinzai is a herbal medicine that has the same effect as Kunzai and has the effect of synergistically enhancing the effects of Kunzai.

Also, Sazai is a herbal medicine that can improve some related symptoms. Shizai is a herbal medicine that prevents side effects. By the way, Kun(君) in Kunzai(君材) means ruler. Shin(臣) in Shinzai(臣材) means minister. They are rulers and ministers, so they have great power and wisdom.

This formulation increases effectiveness and safety. If you would like a complete Hozai-Pyramid formulation using our extracts, please contact us. We deliver the best products after detailed discussions with manufacturing plants and export agents.

■Acetic acid extracted mung bean extract■

Mung bean has long been used in Wakan as a material with excellent detoxifying and anti-allergic properties.

More and more people suffer from type I allergies, such as hay fever, asthma and atopic dermatitis.
The substances that cause these inflammations are not only histamine, but also cytokines, which are now attracting attention.

Furthermore, it is now known that excessive immunity caused by cytokine storms has a negative impact on the body and is said to be a factor in the severity of various infectious diseases.

●Empirical uses of mung beans

Mung beans, known as the source of bean sprouts and vermicelli, have been used in China and Korea to detoxify acute alcohol poisoning, lead and arsenic poisoning and pesticides.

Mung beans are also used for rough and sensitive skin due to their anti-inflammatory properties. It is also sold as a beauty pack in Taiwan.

●How acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract is used

Generally, the constitution of Oriental people is weak in the function of enzymes that break down alcohol, so the metabolism of detoxification cannot keep up, which can lead to hangovers and bad drunkenness.

Detoxification of toxic substances, including alcohol, takes place mainly in the liver and kidneys.

If the functions of these organs are impaired, the discharge of toxic substances does not take place smoothly.

Acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract promotes the detoxification and discharge of toxic substances such as alcohol by enhancing liver and kidney functions.

In addition, with regard to allergies, excessive immunity caused by cytokines is now attracting attention.

Immunity plays an important role in protecting the body, but when it gets out of control, it causes inflammation and tissue damage. This phenomenon is known as a cytokine storm.

Cytokines are inflammatory substances released by immune cells, which in turn induce cytokines from other immune cells in a chain reaction, intensifying and expanding inflammation, which is a cytokine storm.

Cytokine storms are said to be deeply related to type I allergies such as hay fever, allergic eczema and asthma, collagen diseases such as rheumatism and lupus erythematosus, and atherosclerosis, which causes stroke and myocardial infarction, and is also said to contribute to ageing.

A protein called HMGB1 has a switch-like function in triggering this cytokine storm.

Surprisingly, a polyphenol called vitexin contained in acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract has been suggested to suppress chronic inflammation caused by cytokine storms by reducing HMGB1 activity levels.

It is therefore used as a countermeasure against type I allergic diseases such as hay fever, as well as collagen diseases, myocardial infarction, stroke and diabetes mellitus.

●Active ingredients contained in acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract

Polyphenols (vitexin, etc.)

Saponins

Potassium

Oligosaccharides

●Effects of acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract

  • Detoxification of alcohol and harmful chemicals,
  • Improvement of type I allergic diseases such as hay fever
  • Improvement of collagen diseases such as rheumatism
  • Prevention of myocardial infarction, stroke and arteriosclerosis obliterans caused by diabetes mellitus
  • Vascular disorders due to the aftereffects of new coronas

■Characteristics of acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract■

Our mung bean extract is a water-soluble extract powder extracted with acetic acid. Egg yolks and soya are among the foods that cause allergies, but the causative substance is protein.

Mung beans also contain proteins, but by extracting them with acetic acid, the proteins are denatured and their allergenic properties are reduced.

This is similar to the mechanism by which proteins are broken down in the stomach. On the other hand, the acetic acid solvent increases the extraction of active ingredients such as polyphenols.

●Research to support the effects

  • Single oral administration toxicity tests of each food ingredient in mice.
  • Effects of acetic acid-extracted mung bean extract on acute liver damage caused by pesticide marathons and mesomil.

■Abalone shell nacre extract■

Recently, the number of people suffering from cataracts and glaucoma has been increasing. The nacre of abalone shells has been used empirically as a countermeasure against these conditions. In Japanese traditional medicine Wakan, the nacre of abalone shells is called Sekiketumei(石決明).

Cataract is a condition caused by the degeneration of crystalline proteins in the lens, which prevents light from penetrating the retina, resulting in vision loss.

It generally begins to appear in the late 40s, with more than 60% of people in their 60s and 95% of people in their 80s affected. Even in advanced stages, vision can be regained by replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial lens.

Glaucoma is a condition in which increased intraocular pressure and other factors cause damage to the optic nerve, and as the condition progresses, the visual field loss increases, eventually leading to blindness.

Although the incidence of glaucoma is lower than that of cataract, the number of patients is increasing every year. It is currently the leading cause of blindness in Japan.

The trouble is that most Japanese glaucoma patients have low intraocular pressure (IOP) glaucoma, for which no breakthrough treatment has yet been established. In any case, it is necessary to reduce intraocular pressure.

It is also necessary to improve blood flow to the fundus.

The nacre of abalone shell has been used empirically as a countermeasure.

■Effect of nacre of abalone shell■

The term SekiKetumei(石決明) refers to a stone-like object that improves vision in Japanese traditional medicine Wakan.

It has the effect of improving blood flow in the fundus of the eye, lowering intraocular pressure, preventing oxidation of the crystalline lens, and suppressing inflammation.

Therefore, it has been used to treat eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and keratitis.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

■ Characteristics of abalone shell nacre extract ■

This product is a water-soluble extract powder from which the nacreous layer protein of abalone shells is efficiently extracted.

In ancient times, abalone shells were baked at high temperatures to make the nacreous layer easier to peel off and then scraped off.

However, this is very inefficient and can denature the nacreous layer proteins.

It is also possible to simply crush the shells themselves for use, but this is difficult for long-term use as they often contain large amounts of heavy metals and the amount required per batch is 5-15g. However, we have developed a special extraction method.

As a result, we succeeded in efficiently extracting nacre protein. In addition, since it is an extract with nacre protein as its main ingredient, with arsenic and heavy metals removed as much as possible, there is no need to worry about indigestion caused by neutralization of stomach acid, making it a safe health food material.

■Research in support of the effectiveness of the product■

  • Clinical investigation of the effects of abalone shell extract on fundus blood flow and intraocular pressure using laser speckle flowography and intraocular pressure meter.
  • Blood pressure and heart rate measurement study using rats administered isoproterenol.
  • Investigation of the anti-cataract action of abalone shell extract using extracted lens of rats.
  • Investigation of the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activity of abalone shell extract.

■Eclipta prostrata and Polygonatum falcatum mixed extract■

More men and women are suffering from hair loss these days. Ointments and oral medications are used, but there are concerns about side effects. In this respect, the botanical herbal medicines used in Wakan (Japanese traditional medicine) can be used safely over the long term. One such example is eclipta prostrata and polygonatum falcatumfalse daisy and solomon’s seal. Of course,
they also have excellent efficacy.
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
The population suffering from thinning hair and hair loss in Japan is estimated to be as high as 42 million. Ageing, stress and hormonal imbalances are cited as causes, but the male hormone DHT(dihydrotestosterone) is also suspected to be involved.

In addition, if blood flow to the scalp is inadequate or nutritional deficiencies persist for a long time, the oxygen and nutrients necessary for hair production are not sufficiently distributed to the hair root cells. At the same time, it becomes difficult for waste products to be discharged. This causes a decrease in the metabolism of the hair root cells and accelerates hair loss.

Furthermore, when lipids secreted by the sebaceous glands are oxidised, lipid peroxide with high oxidising power is generated.

If the scalp is constitutionally oily, the oxidation of hair root cells is more likely to progress. This results in oxidative degeneration, which can interfere with hair growth and nurturing.

In addition, if the scalp is dry, the hair root cells degenerate. Furthermore, lack of moisture lowers immunity and metabolism, making the scalp more vulnerable to damage.

The empirical use of eclipta prostrata and polygonatum falcatum as a countermeasure has therefore been used.

●Empirical uses of eclipta prostrata

The Japanese name of the plant is Kanrensou(旱連草). It has been used in Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine to prevent hair thinning and graying. In Ayurveda, it is also called the ruler of hair and is considered to be a material that helps hair growth.

● Empirical uses of polygonatum falcatum

polygonatum falcatum is also known as the Osei(黄精) in Japan. It has been used as a tonic in traditional Japanese and Chinese medicine.

It is said to have been used by Kobayashi Issa, a famous haiku poet of the Edo period. Kobayashi Issa was also famous for his strong sex life.

In classical Japanese and Chinese medical classics, it is described as increasing physical strength, eliminating grey hair and preventing the loss of teeth. It is known to potentiate the action of eclipta prostrata.

■Sunflower black seed rind, hawthorn mixed extract■

Ageing and stress lead to the development of tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness in many people.
Sunflower black seed rind and hawthorn have been used empirically to combat these symptoms.

Tinnitus is essentially a symptom associated with hearing loss. The most common disease associated with tinnitus is sensorineural hearing loss. Diseases causing sensorineural hearing loss include senile hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss and Meniere’s disease.

The causes are thought to include inadequate blood flow in the inner ear due to ageing or stress, oxidation and inflammatory oedema due to infection.

Acute sensorineural hearing loss, in particular, has been reported to be deeply related to oxidative phenomena in inner ear
cells.

Although tinnitus is not a deadly disease, it is wise to cure it as early as possible, as it can be bothersome and can lead to
insomnia and depression.

The black seed rind of the sunflower and the fruit of the hawthorn have been used empirically as a countermeasure.

●Empirical use of sunflower black seed rind

The black seed rind of the sunflower is called koujitsukikaku(向日葵殻) in Japanese traditional medicine, and has been
used empirically to counteract stress-induced tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness.

●Empirical uses of hawthorn.

In Japanese traditional medicine, it is called sanshuyu (山茱萸). Empirically, it is said to have a nourishing tonic effect and
has been used as a countermeasure against tinnitus and frequent urination due to ageing.

●Main constituents in sunflower black seed rind

Chlorogenic acid
Quinic acid derivatives
Gamma oryzanol

●Main constituents contained in the fruit of the hawthorn

Moroniside
Roganin

■Effects of sunflower black seed rind and hawthorn mixed extract■

Alleviation of symptoms of tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness.

●Characteristics of sunflower black seed rind and hawthorn mixed extract

This product is an extract powder extracted from a mixture of sunflower black seed rind and hawthorn. Sunflower black seed rind, which contains large amounts of chlorogenic acid, is used.

Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol with strong antioxidant properties. In Wakan, it is said that when the black seed rind of the sunflower is infused with the hawthorn, a synergistic effect is created.

●A comparison of the antioxidant capacity of extracts made from sunflower black seed rind alone and extracts made from hawthorn alone, and extracts made from a mixture of the two, clearly shows that the latter has a higher antioxidant capacity. It is assumed that mixed extraction causes a chemical change that increases the antioxidant capacity.

●Our commitment to development and production

We provide our own mixed extraction extracts using a blending method called Taizai(対材) pairing. This is a combination of
materials that produces a synergistic effect. This product is also a combination using the Taizai counterpart.

■Mixed extract of daylily flower and silk tree flower■

Many people suffer from insomnia due to stress and depression. In addition, an increasing number of people are not satisfied with their daily sleep. Goldenseal and nightshade flowers have been used empirically to counteract these symptoms.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

It is estimated that one in five people in Japan suffer from insomnia. The causes of insomnia vary, but stress and depression in particular are the main causes.

In particular, when depression is the cause, the sleep rhythm is disturbed and not only is sleep shallow, but also the patient suffers from awakenings during the night, waking up after two or three hours.

This is regarded as the most problematic form of insomnia.

Ideally, therefore, to improve insomnia, though, it is necessary to become more resilient to stress,

It is vital to regulate sleep rhythms and alleviate depressive symptoms.

The daylily flowerand silk tree flower have been used empirically as a remedy for this.

●Empirical uses of daylily flower

Daylily flower, a member of the lily family, is written in Japanese characters as Kinshinsai(金針菜). It is sometimes called ‘forget-me-not greens’, as regular consumption helps people forget their melancholy.

In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used to combat insomnia, anxiety and menopausal disorders. Recent research has also shown that it is rich in melatonin-like substances similar to melatonin.

●About melatonin-like substances

Also called plant melatonin, it has a molecular structure similar to melatonin, which is secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin is a brain hormone that helps regulate sleep rhythms and is also believed to be effective against depression and stress disorders.

Kinshinsai, a member of the lily family, is written in Chinese characters as ‘goldenrod’. In China, it is used as a nutritional supplement for pregnant women.

Otherwise, it is sometimes called ‘forget-me-not greens’, as regular consumption helps people forget their melancholy. In Japanese and Chinese medicine, it has been used to combat insomnia, anxiety and menopausal disorders.

Recent research has also shown that it is rich in melatonin-like substances similar to melatonin.

●Empirical uses of the flower of silk tree flower.

Silk tree flower, a member of the fabaceae family, is written in Japanese as Gohanka (合歓花).

The name comes from the fact that the leaves close at night as if asleep.

In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used to combat depression.

Empirically, it is said to be a good match for daylily flowerand to enhance each other’s effects.

●Main constituents of daylily flower

 ■Mixed extract of bitter orange peel, Japanese radish seeds and malt■

Recently, an increasing number of people have become accustomed to overeating, putting strain on their stomachs, causing food to stagnate in their stomachs, causing them to feel bloated, and suffering from weight gain.

orange peel, radish seeds, and malt have been used empirically to treat these symptoms.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

When the stomach functions are impaired, stomach acid secretion and peristalsis become abnormal, causing symptoms such as loss of appetite, gastric bloating and heartburn.

The effects can lead to indigestion, including diarrhoea, constipation and upset stomach. Recently, an increasing number of young people as well as the elderly suffer from reflux oesophagitis (inflammation of the oesophageal mucosa due to reflux of stomach acid and undigested food into the oesophagus).

The main causes of this are overeating, excessive drinking and the consumption of fatty and stimulating foods as a result of westernisation of the diet.

This type of diet is also a major enemy of beauty and can lead to obesity.

Postprandial high blood sugar also promotes obesity.

An effective countermeasure to this is the use of foods that promote peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, it is also necessary to control the postprandial rise in blood glucose.

The empirical use of bitter orange peel, Japanese radish seeds and malt has therefore been used as a countermeasure

●Empirical use of Bitter orange peel

Bitter orange peel is the young fruit of the mandarin orange plant, also called Kijitsu (枳実). In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used for abdominal fullness, constipation and weight loss, as it enhances gastrointestinal peristalsis.

●Empirical uses of Japanese radish seeds

Radish is a vegetable so familiar to the Japanese that it is eaten as porridge as one of the seven spring herbs. Its seeds are also called lifekushi. In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it is believed to promote digestion and speed up the passage of food through the gastrointestinal tract, and has been used when food stagnates in the gastrointestinal tract and the stomach is distressed, as well as to aid weight loss.

●Empirical uses of malt

Malt is the germinated fruit of barley, a grain of the grass family. In addition to food, it has been used in Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine to counteract indigestion.

Mixed extract of black plum, mucuna birdwoodiana, turmeric

Improve blood flow, relieve coldness, swelling, menstrual pain, and fatigue!

The component mumefural contained in black plums is said to prevent the formation of blood clots and change the shape of red blood cells, making it easier for them to pass through capillaries. In addition, plum polyphenols are said to have the effect of suppressing the occurrence of high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, we have extracted a mixture of mucuna birdwoodiana and turmeric, which are compatible with black plum and enhance each other’s effects

■Mixed extract of black plum, mucuna birdwoodiana, and turmeric■

Many people, from the young to the elderly, are now aware of poor blood circulation. If left unchecked, it can become a cause of physical problems.

It is closely related to cold, swelling, stiff shoulders, headaches, fatigue and irregular menstruation. Black plum, mucuna birdwoodiana, and turmeric have been used empirically to counteract and improve these symptoms.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

When blood flow is poor, the small capillaries that extend to the ends of the limbs do not receive the nutrients and enzymes they need, causing symptoms such as cold, swelling, stiff shoulders, headaches, fatigue and irregular periods.

When blood flow to the ovaries and uterus is reduced, reproductive function is also reduced, which can lead to irregular periods and infertility. In Oriental medicine, it is even said that ‘blood flow failure is the cause of all illnesses’.

Black plum, mucuna birdwoodiana, and turmeric have been used empirically as a countermeasure.

●Empirical use of black plum

Black plum is made by smoking and drying the unripe fruit of the plum tree of the rose family, which is also called Ubai(烏梅).

It is so named because of its black colour, like that of a raven. It is said to have been brought back to Japan by Ono Imoko, who was sent to China in those days as an envoy to the Sui Dynasty. In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used to treat indigestion, as well as blood flow disorders and menstrual irregularities.

Black plum has been found to contain citric acid and polyphenols. In addition, mumefural has also been detected.

●About mumefural

Mumefural is a component of citric acid and other substances contained in plums that are altered by the heat of smoke. It is said to increase the metamorphic capacity of red blood cells and facilitate their passage through capillaries. Oxygen supply to the tissues may be facilitated.

●Empirical uses of mucuna birdwoodiana

Mucuna birdwoodiana, a plant such as Keikextutou(鶏血藤) is written in Chinese characters as chicken blood wisteria. In Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, it has been used to counteract irregular menstruation and numbness and paralysis of the limbs due to deteriorated blood flow.

●Empirical uses of turmeric

Turmeric, a member of the ginger family, has a strong image as a preventative against alcohol-related bad effects, but in Wakan(和漢) it has long been used to counteract stiff shoulders, nervous irritability and blood flow disorders.

Recommended amount(per day):150mg

■Starfish extract■

Starfish have an amazing regenerative ability to regenerate as a new individual from a single torn hand. In other words, starfish can create clones.

Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine has paid attention to this life force and has used it to counteract loss of energy in men, menopausal disorders in women and pain, numbness  and weakness in the legs and feet due to ageing.

Recent research has shown that starfish extract is expected to have energising and testosterone-increasing effects. Experiments suggested an increase in mounting behaviour and DHEA-S, a precursor to male hormones, in old mice.

Furthermore, a study on middle-aged men suggested that the male hormone testosterone levels in saliva were also increased. Furthermore, it has also been suggested that it promotes the secretion of female hormones.

In addition, as people age, they complain of pain and numbness in the legs and feet.

Causes include lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal canal stenosis, slipping and spondylolysis and osteoporosis, which are exacerbated by age-related changes such as the loss of intervertebral cartilage and osteoporosis. In many cases, sciatica is also caused by compression of the sciatic nerve as a result of these diseases.

To improve this condition, it is necessary to increase nerve transmission and improve blood flow. This is because it distributes oxygen and nutrients and revives the weakened nerve into a healthy nerve. Starfish has been used empirically to treat these symptoms.

●Empirical uses of starfish

Starfish are called Kaisei(海星) or kaien(海燕), and have been eaten as medicinal dishes in China since ancient times.

In Japan, they are called Hitode(ヒトデ), and in the Amakusa region, starfish ovaries are eaten as a seasonal dish. It has also been used in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicine to boost energy and combat neuralgia associated with cold feet and lower back.

Recent studies have shown that it contains gangliosides and steroidal saponins.

<About gangliosides

Gangliosides are a type of glycolipid that is generally believed to have

neuroregenerative, neurorestorative and neurotrophic effects. They therefore play a role in the treatment of pain, numbness and weakness in the legs and feet. An American research institute reported that when gangliosides were administered to patients with spinal cord injuries, no limb paralysis occurred at all.

In addition, it is said to stimulate the secretion of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine acts on muscarinic receptors in vascular endothelial cells and the activated eNOS-derived nitric oxide is said to dilate blood vessels. It works like Viagra.

<About steroidal saponins

Steroid saponins are generally believed to improve blood flow and have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Steroid saponins have also been found to be converted into sex hormones when they enter the body. In particular, starfish extract contains steroidal saponins that closely resemble human sex hormones.

■Benefits of starfish extract■

Improvement of decreased energy and sexual desire in men, menopausal symptoms in women, pain, numbness, and muscle weakness in the legs and feet of men and women.

●Features of starfish extract.

This is a water-soluble extract powder obtained by alcohol-extracting starfish from the Hokkaido coast. Starfish have powerful autolytic enzymes that will quickly dissolve their internal organs if left untreated. Therefore, by rapidly boiling and drying starfish, we produce extract from starfish that maintain their freshness.

Next, we analyze this starfish extract for heavy metals, arsenic, blowfish poison, free basic nitrogen, etc., and sell it after confirming its safety.
