Japan's First Approval for Functional Claims of Rohto Group's Proprietary Material 'Licorice Extract Powder (Licocone®)'

MG Pharma, a professional team in lipid metabolism research, focuses on supporting people's health regarding lifestyle diseases, particularly lipid metabolism disorders (neutral fat). Their work is anchored by the proprietary material 'Globin Peptide,' which was discovered from observations of weight loss in pigs, and their product 'Napple.' This issue of high neutral fat is becoming a significant concern not only in Japan but also internationally. MG Pharma will continue to challenge for 'Well-being' in collaboration with the Rohto Pharmaceutical Group and various external partners. Notably, a food product containing components derived from the Rohto Group's original material, 'Licorice Extract Powder (Licocone®),' has become the first of its kind to be accepted as a Food with Functional Claims in Japan.
