Focusing on Women's Unique Premenstrual Concerns. Functional Food "Femmin Femcare x Sleep" Newly Launched

Ito Kampo Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Higashiosaka City, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Tatsuo Ito) will launch "Femmin Femcare x Sleep," a 'Foods with Function Claims' product containing functional ingredients Rafuma-derived hyperoside and Rafuma-derived isoquercitrin, which have been reported to help alleviate temporary gloomy mood before menstruation and improve satisfaction with sleep upon waking in healthy adult women with normal menstrual cycles, starting from Monday, May 11, 2026.

■ Background of Development

In recent years, there has been growing interest in femcare, which involves products and services that address women's unique health issues such as menstruation, childbirth, infertility, and menopause. According to our survey, more than half of women experience some kind of discomfort before menstruation, with "mood issues such as irritability" and "sleep issues such as hypersomnia" being among the top concerns. However, current countermeasures mainly consist of symptomatic treatments such as "rest" and "taking painkillers," and approximately 60% of women are not satisfied with their current solutions.

Against this background, we developed this product as a new habit for women to live authentically at all times, focusing on premenstrual mood and sleep quality.

■ 3 Features

・Contains two functional ingredients

Contains plant-derived ingredients "Rafuma-derived hyperoside" and "Rafuma-derived isoquercitrin," each at 1mg (per day).

・Functional ingredients double support premenstrual mood and sleep satisfaction

Functional ingredients Rafuma-derived hyperoside and Rafuma-derived isoquercitrin have been reported to help alleviate temporary gloomy mood before menstruation and improve satisfaction with sleep upon waking in women with normal menstrual cycles.
