We want to get rid of the idea that "supplements don't last".

Supplements require a certain level of continuity in order to feel a real difference, but on the other hand, taking supplements every day can be a hassle and people tend to forget. In order to solve such problems of our customers, UMI has been focusing on the "ease of continuation" since its establishment.

In response to the many requests from customers who wanted to maintain a healthy appearance and were concerned about their stomachs as they aged, we have conducted research and development in collaboration with YSK and a national university over the past 10 years. The result was "fucose," an ingredient derived from seaweed. In a human study conducted on people who were slightly overweight and had problems with bowel movements, it was reported to help reduce body fat (visceral and subcutaneous fat), waist size, and body weight around the abdomen, improve BMI, and improve bowel movements by increasing the frequency of bowel movements.
