【Features】

'Four Black Ingredients' is a nutritional supplement powered up from the conventional product 'Raw Black Vinegar Black Ginseng Fermented Black Garlic' with the new theme of 'four black healthy ingredients.' In addition to 'fermented black garlic' and 'domestically produced black vinegar,' known since ancient times as stamina and health ingredients, 'Ryukyu black koji moromi powder' and 'black sesame' have been condensed into soft capsules. The power of traditional ingredients supports healthy and active daily life.

- Point 1: Supporting vitality with the power of 'Four Black Ingredients'

The biggest point of the renewal is the carefully selected 'four black healthy ingredients.'
'Fermented black garlic,' 'domestically produced black vinegar,' 'Ryukyu black koji moromi powder,' and 'black sesame' are blended, and the power of traditional ingredients and fermentation supports daily vitality from within.

- Fermented black garlic: Fermented and aged black garlic powder: Domestically produced

- Point 2: Added ingredients for energetic support

- Point 3: Smaller capsules, reduced odor for daily habit

It is important to continue supplements daily. In this renewal, while enhancing ingredients, the capsules have been made smaller than conventional products, making them easier to swallow.
