Osteoporosis is a disease in which the structure of bone becomes spongy. Normally, our bodies use a hormone called estrogen to metabolize bone. If there is a reduction in this hormone, bone density also reduces. Women in particular experience a reduction in estrogen after menopause, with many also suffering a rapid drop in bone density.
However, most do not show any visible symptoms, and therefore first realize the drop in their own bone mass only after suffering a fracture.
So, what should be done? The body should make new bone through the metabolization of bone. However, although modern medicine has methods for preventing the deterioration of bone, it is still difficult to increase bone mass.
Together with Hiroshima University, we have presented our products at food expos around the world. When people around the world have actually tasted calcium black beans, they enjoyed the flavor, texture, and ease of consumption just as people in Japan do. In order to provide a product that is enjoyed by a large number of people regardless of country, we are actively pursuing public relations and research with an international perspective.
