Background of Development: To rescue the "exhausted feeling" of hardworking modern people with the power of nature

In today's society, where people are overwhelmed by work, housework, and childcare, an increasing number of individuals struggle with feeling unrefreshed even after sleeping and experiencing exhaustion by the evening. However, there are also many voices expressing a desire to care for their bodies with natural, food-based options rather than relying on artificial ingredients or strong supplements.

We focused on "garlic," a familiar ingredient that has supported Japanese diets for centuries, and "black garlic," whose power is enhanced through fermentation and aging. We began developing a natural supplement that could be safely consumed daily, prioritizing gentleness on the body.

Born from Real Voices: Approximately 72.6% Expect from Naturally Derived Products (Survey Results)

During development, we found that about 65% of people were dissatisfied with existing solutions like energy drinks that offer temporary effects or the rebound from caffeine intake. Among them, 72.6% expressed expectations for naturally derived products.

【Survey Result Highlights】

Online Survey Results

Based on these survey results, we became convinced that many people are seeking ways to support their daily vitality and are looking for safe, naturally derived solutions. This led us to launch this project on Makuake.
