New CM Story
■'Forest Kitchen' Edition
The setting for the 5th installment of the 'Biofermin Forest' series is a forest kitchen standing in a bright forest surrounded by trees. The scene opens with Mr. Okada, the guardian of the forest, standing and carefully examining ingredients like vegetables and fruits laid out before him. Noticing the camera, Mr. Okada smiles gently, places his hand on his stomach, and asks the audience about the difficulty of daily meal planning: 'It's tough to think of gut-friendly menus every day, isn't it?'
In response to that question, Mr. Okada holds up the New Biofermin S tablets and introduces them, saying, 'If so, Biofermin.' Along with the narration, '3 tablets after meals, Chokatsu after meals', the scene transitions to image cuts showing bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria working inside the intestines, leaving the impression that 'live beneficial bacteria regulate the intestines.' Returning to the forest kitchen scene, Mr. Okada, enveloped in sunlight, gently says, 'Let's start, Chokatsu after meals.'
