We have extensive knowledge of Japan’s functional food claims system. The Japanese system requires evidence based on the U.S. FDA regulations and international consensus. We conduct research on the necessary evidence by comparing Japan’s system with overseas systems.

We have provided consulting, academic research, and submission support for entering the Japanese functional food claims market to food ingredient manufacturers from the EU, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and China.

We will conduct a survey using an academic database to understand material properties. Based on the results of the research, we will decide on future development directions.

We will also conduct a regulation check simultaneously and prepare a report on any missing evidence and consistency with the system.

Databases Utilized　PubMed (English) / Ichushi Web(Japanese) etc

Based on the Feasibility Study ＆ Regulation Check results, we will select various analyses. We will work with affiliated analysis institutions to carry out the necessary analyses.

If you require special analytical methods, we can also provide an original analytical environment.

We conduct “double-blind clinical trials (RCT)” as required by the Japanese functional food claims system. Additionally, if active results are produced, we undertake the writing and publication of academic papers.

In Japan’s functional food claims system, clinical trial results can be utilized as Form V.

We prepare systematic reviews based on the global academic consensus “PRISMA 2020”.

The systematic reviews we prepare can be utilized as Form V in Japan’s functional food claims system.

We will prepare other necessary documents for the notification of functional food claims.

”Form Ⅰ”　Consumer Information (Basic Information)
”Form Ⅱ”　Safety Information
”Form Ⅲ”　Manufacturing and Quality Control Information
”Form Ⅳ”　Health Damage Collection System Information
”Form Ⅴ”　Functionality Information
”Form Ⅵ”　Label Information

We support the development of sales channels for products with functional food claims in Japan through collaboration with our partner companies.
