【Comment from Popeye Sekine】

I feel that the two pillars of "safety" and "continuation" are very important for continuing training.

No matter how hard you train, you cannot continue competing for long if you don't take care of your body, and I believe that building an ideal physique can only be achieved through daily accumulation.

ZAPRO's products are very appealing because of their thorough quality control, allowing me to drink them with peace of mind. Furthermore, the wide variety of flavors makes it easy for even those who are not fond of supplements to incorporate them, and I felt that efforts are made to ensure they can be continued without difficulty. This is a very reassuring point for me, who faces training every day. And above all, I was deeply impressed by their attitude of constantly pursuing better supplements while always prioritizing the customer.

I decided to join Team ZAPRO this time with the desire to convey the appeal of the products and the importance of body building to more people, together with ZAPRO.

Comment from Mr. Kobayashi, Marketing Communication Manager, Takeuchi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

We are extremely pleased that Popeye Sekine resonated with our core values of "safety" and "continuation," and we are honored to have him join us as a member of Team ZAPRO.

THE PROTEIN aims to be "a protein you want to drink every day," pursuing both quality that allows for safe continuation and deliciousness that makes it easy to keep drinking.

Popeye Sekine's philosophy of "protecting the body while building it up," which he values in his daily training, perfectly aligns with the foundation of our brand.

Through this partnership, we are confident that we can convey the value of "body building that can be continued without difficulty" to more people, along with the real voices of top athletes.

Moving forward, we will fully support Popeye Sekine's challenges, and ZAPRO will also strive to develop products and provide value that are even more customer-centric.
