Products that can be easily continued by the metabolic syndrome reserve army.

Since "metabolic syndrome" was selected as the buzzword of the year, the market for supplements aimed at people concerned about their waistline has grown significantly.At that time, it was the height of the trend. Particularly popular were the health-promoting beverages sold at convenience stores and other retailers. However, using these products every day incurs considerable costs. While this may be an unavoidable expense for those suspected of having metabolic syndrome, we felt that there was a need for supplements that could be purchased at a more affordable price for those at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Therefore, we at Ito Kanpo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. decided to develop products to meet the needs of our customers, especially those at risk of metabolic syndrome.

The joy of communicating functions directly to customers.

Indigestible dextrin (dietary fiber), which is difficult to digest and absorb in the stomach and small intestine and suppresses the absorption of fat and sugar, was often used in Tokuho-based beverages.Of course, it was an ingredient that should be used in "Metapro Aojiru", but considering that it is a product for the "Metabolic Syndrome Reserve Army", it can also maintain nutritional balance and support healthy body building. I wanted to stick to it.Therefore, we decided to mix 6 kinds of blue vegetable powders such as young barley leaves, green tea, mulberry leaves, tomorrow's leaves, chlorella, and moroheiya.By making it into a powder, we also got the advantage that it is easy to eat every day by mixing it with drinks and meals.

With the launch of the "Foods with Function Claims" system, which allows products to display the functional properties of their ingredients after review and acceptance by the Consumer Affairs Agency, we can now display triple functions on the packaging, such as "suppresses fat absorption," "suppresses sugar absorption," and "regulates bowel movements and digestive health." Since it was not possible to directly communicate the functionality of conventional health foods, we were pleased to be able to proudly tell our customers about these features.

The "MetaPro" series is currently expanding its lineup. We now offer a variety of options to suit your lifestyle and preferences, including "MetaPro Powder Sugar, Fat, and Pressure," which can be easily mixed into drinks and food, and "MetaPro Green Tea Sugar, Fat, and Pressure," which is easy to incorporate into your daily routine as a mealtime companion. We hope these products, designed for ease of use, will contribute even a little to your health. Please give them a try!
