■ About Ectopic Fat
When speaking of fat, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat are common, but ectopic fat, also called the 'third fat,' is fat that accumulates in organs where it should not normally be, such as the muscles, liver, heart, and pancreas.
It has been pointed out to be related to various diseases that plague modern people, such as frailty, sarcopenia, infertility, depression, and dementia, and is attracting attention as a future social issue related to healthy life expectancy.
MG Pharma operates the project 'Team Ectopic Fat by MGP' to promote research and information dissemination approaching this ectopic fat.

■ About MG Pharma's Proprietary Material 'Metap®'
'Metap® (globin digest)', a peptide mixture and proprietary material created from over 30 years of research by MG Pharma, has the functionality to suppress the rise in serum neutral fat after meals by approximately 60%, and was incorporated into Japan's first FOSHU (Food for Specified Health Uses) for neutral fat, 'Napple® Drink', in 1999.
Currently, we are advancing research on its approach to ectopic fat as a new possibility for Metap®, and the value of the material is expanding from countermeasures against neutral fat to countermeasures against ectopic fat.
