Shipping:  All products purchased at Zenmony.com are shipped from Japan. We offer two shipping options: EMS (Express Mail Service) and E-Packet. EMS offers reasonable rates and boasts the following features: it’s fast, the status of the parcel can be tracked online at any time, it’s handled with the highest priority, and loss and damages are compensated. For products weighing less than 2kg, we offer an alternative shipping option called E-Packet. E-Packet is in many cases just as fast as EMS but is less expensive. E-Packet is also trackable. Pricing can be compared for both options on the product page. Recently we added three new shipping options: "AIR", "SAL" and "SEA" (Surface). With "AIR" (International Air Mail) the fees are relatively high since posts will be sent by air. The "AIR" option becomes cheaper than EMS with heavier orders (more than 5kg). With "AIR" option, products are delivered approximately in 6-14 days. "SAL" (also called "Economy Air Mail") is a service where international mail is handled as airmail between the two countries and as surface mail within the destination country. This service is generally slower than "EMS" or "AIR" options, but the shipping rates are more affordable. With the "SAL" option, products are delivered approximately in 7-16 days. With "SEA" (Surface) mail products are sent by surface (by ship and rail). With this option the shipping rates are the most affordable. While the delivery period (stated on the Japan Post website http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/dispatch/index_en.html) for this option is 1-3 months, it takes no longer than one month on average to deliver to developed countries. Similarly to "EMS" and "E-Packet", products shipped with "AIR", "SAL" and "SEA" are insured and have their tracking numbers. PLEASE NOTE that the delivery period may be considerably longer for countries with undeveloped transportation. (?click)

Contents: 100g (100mg x 1000 tablets)
Manufacturer: Chosei Yakuso Co., Ltd. (Okinawa, Japan)
Seller and brand owner: Fucoidan Okinawa Co., Ltd. (Okinawa, Japan)  since 2000

Below is the detailed explanations list of all components in this product:

Okinawa Mozuku and Okinawa Umibudo (seagrape) a seaweedsFucoidan is an ingredient of dietary fiber derived from types of seaweed including mozuku and wakame, as well as kelp. A companion of the sugars known as polysaccharides, it is contained in the component of seaweed which makes it slimy. In vitro studies show that fucoidan has immunomodulatory, antitumor, antiangiogenic, antiviral, anti-arthritic and other effects. In scientific terms, fucoidan is a material comprised of fucose as a constituent saccharide to which uronic and sulfuric acid bind. Depending on the kind of brown algae (Okinawan mozuku, futomozuku, fucus evanescens, mekabu (root of the wakame seaweed), etc), there are differences between the type of algae and its fucoidan content. A variance in physiological effects can also be seen. Okinawa mozuku fucoidan is the base ingredient in this product.

Lesser yam, hariimoLesser yam. The lesser yam (in Japanese, 'hariimo' or 'togedokoro') is a species of wild yam native to Okinawa belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae and genus Dioscorea. It is called "eel of the field" due to its extremely high nutritional value. The lesser yam, which, out of the yams eaten in mainland Japan, has particularly great effects for nutrition and robust health, and has grown in the wild for more than 2000 years. Out of the Japanese yams which were cultivated by only a few farmers, calling it the children’s Ryukyu Japanese yam cannot be overstated. ...Noteworthy components: "Diosgenin". Diosgenin is attracting attention for its amount of DHEA. DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a kind of sex hormone that is biosynthesized in the adrenal cortex by using cholesterol as a raw material in vivo. It is utilized by transforming into male and female hormones. Diosgenin is called an alternative ingredient of DHEA because it works the same as DHEA. Most of yams in Japan are said to contain very little diosgenin, but diosgenin content of the lesser yam is contained in abundance in comparison with other yams. It contains 200 times more "diosgenin" ingredient than other yams. Diosgenin has a β amyloid-reducing effect and an abundance of digestive enzymes. The structure is very similar to DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), which is said to be an anti-aging hormone, and it is said that diosgenin works like both in the body. In addition, the yam is richer in potassium than the potato. The potassium content per 100g of the edible part in the Japanese yam contains 550mg, compared to 410mg in potatoes. For this reason, if you are concerned about salt, you can drain excess salt from your body if you put lesser yam in miso soup, reducing the risk of high blood pressure. Also, one of it’s enzymes called "amylase" which breaks down starch helps the stomach to digest. In addition, the "mucin" of it’s sticky component contains a function which supports the decomposition of protein.

Gymnema SylvestreGymnema Sylvestre. (contains Gymnemic acid). The surprising sweet taste suppression effect Gymnema sylvestre is a vine plant native to India, called 'gurmar' in Hindi and 'saccharicoli' in Tamil, meaning 'sugar destroyer'. As its name suggests, after chewing on the leaves of Gymnema, only sweetness you will not be able to taste. In India, it is used in the traditional medicine Ayurveda. It has endured scrutiny for a history of more than 2000 years as a herb which strongly affects diabetes. However, the light of the science was shed in the middle of the nineteenth century, and a British officer ...stationed in India, General Edwards, began to report to his home country of this medicine's peculiar qualities, that only the sweetness of sugar could not be tasted. Also, in 1887, British chemist Hooper confirmed that the component extracted from the leaves is an organic substance which has properties as an acid, and named this component "Gymnema". Entering the 20th Century, dried powder Gymnema was taken by diabetic patients, confirming its effects on blood sugar levels in 1920. The molecular structure was also explored, and in 1967, German chemists Stoecklin and others revealed that gymnematic acid comes from triperte, and is glucuronic acid acid which is similar to a grape sugar molecule and a type of saponin which is a combination of several fatty acids. It has been attracting attention for it's use in diets due to it having a absorption inhibiting function for glucose in the intestinal tract.

Turmeric/Ukon (Curcuma domestica).Okinawa Ukon, Curcuma A traditional herbal medicine which has attracted new attention for its effectiveness. Okinawan Yellow Turmeric is a selectively-bred, unique variety of autumn turmeric. Compared to regular autumn turmeric, Okinawan Yellow Turmeric contains more than 3 times as much general curcumin, more than 22 times as much tetrahedro-curcumin, and twice as much oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). In 2005, we (Chosei Yakusou Company Inc.)received the Emperor's Cup for "the silk thread and local specialities section". As component analyses and workings investigations by Professor Hideji Itokawa (Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Science) and others have progressed, the differences between the spring and autumn turmerics have been discovered. Okinawa Ukon, CurcumaPharmacological tests on its yellow pigment curcumin and essential oil components (flavonoid, camphor, azulon, cineol, etc) have revealed functions which promote liver detoxification function and bile secretion, biliary tract stone removal, diuresis, anti-bleeding, antibacterial, anti-ulcer, blood cholesterol inhibitory effect and other functions. As an example of adaptation, hepatitis, cholangitis, jaundice, gastritis, menstrual irregularity, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and many other ailments have been counted, but in recent years, it is expected in particular to be effective against liver diseases including chronic hepatitis C, cancer, and diabetes. It has gained interest for it's anti-oxidant and active oxygen removal properties, said to be the cause of aging and many other diseases.

Peruvian maca grown in OkinawaMaca/Maka (lepidium meyenii) - "The Treasure of the Andes" – raises energy and produces overflowing vitality. These days where people have become profoundly aware of our lack of robust health and stamina, both life energies originating from our biology, Maca as a response to this concern, is a very promising functional food product brought to the world from Peru. Maca (lepidium meyenii) is a perennial plant of the same family as daikon - Brassicaceae.  It has a tough texture and is cultivated in the highlands of some of the world’s highest elevations of around 4000 meters – the Peruvian Alps. Swollen maca root has a flavor which combines sweet and spicy elements, and is baked, steamed and stewed before being eaten. A kind of porridge is made using maca which has been naturally dried for around a month and then boiled in milk. ... Also, it is the main ingredient of the fermented drink maca chicha. When the reproduction of sheep and goats which were brought over by the Spanish Conquistadors came to a stand still, the Spanish Conquistadors took the advice of the native people and gave the livestock maca as feed. Producing remarkable results, maca became known as “Peruvian Ginseng”. Maca has been cultivated for thousands of years in its native Peruvian Andes, and has been used by the native people as a nutritious tonic ingredient. Korean Ginseng, Maca, Cordyceps sinensisHowever, in later years during the 1980’s, maca was nearly in danger of extinction. Yet because it was a highly valued food and medicinal plant for the health and preservation of many local people, it began receiving support from the Peruvian government who encouraged the increase of its production. Dry maca has an abundance of essential amino acids including arginine and lysine, as well as iron and calcium. It also contains large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid and palmitic acid, as well as trace elements of calium, lin, zinc, copper, and manganese. Thus, calling it “canned nutrients” would be an understatement. Maca has the following as its currently accepted functions: (1) reinforcement of energy levels, improvement in concentration and memory, reduction in stress and fatigue, and facilitation of sex life; (2) removal of menopausal disorders, normalization of menstrual irregularity, and a fertility promoting effect including eliminating infertility through means such as increasing sperm and ovum; (3) and immunostimulatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. These are the direct effects of its special components, while several kinds of alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, anthocyanins, isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, and other secondary metabolism products stimulate the pituitary gland. This result is thought to be due to maca activating endocrinal activity.

Koraininjin Panax GinsengGinseng/Koraininjin (Panax Ginseng) - with the active ingredient saponin, which normalizes numerous bodily functions. Ginseng (panax ginseng) is a perennial herb of the family Araliaceae which grows naturally through out north east China through to the Korean peninsula. Its Japanese name is otaneninjin, or ‘otane carrot’, and while regular carrot belongs to the family Umbelliferae, ginseng is a completely different plant. In the Shennong Ben Cao Jing, an ancient Chinese book about herbal medicine said to be thousands of years old, it states regarding ginseng’s effectiveness that “ [ginseng] supports the five viscera; makes the body lighter after an extended period of use; and increases longevity.” ...In other words, it effects the lungs, heart, spleen, liver and kidney, and activates this action which reveals a variety of positive effects. It also lengthens one’s life span if taken over an extended period of time. The effects of ginseng have two different aspects; one is a type which “is initially mentally stimulating, yet effectively peters out and takes all the zeal out of you”; and its opposite type where “if you don’t feel motivation from the beginning, you won’t have zeal”, both types revealing effects. These are due to ginseng simultaneously containing two active ingredients with completely different properties; a sedative and a stimulant. Ginsenoside, a type of saponin, has properties which calm the cerebrum, while at the same time invigorate activity in the heart and body cells, maintaining bodily functions. Because of this, the sedative effect can be expected for treatment of psychophysiological disorders, malaise syndrome and chronic hepatitis (due to there being many people of a nervous temperament). Diverse pharmacological studies of drug efficacy have been carried out regarding ginseng saponin, and the research group of Ehime University’s Medical Department (lead by Professor Hiromichi Okuda, doctor of medicine) revealed that apart from ginseng saponin, adenosine, pyroglutamic acid and others are also substances with insulin properties. Moreover, they also found arginyl fructosyl glucose (AFG) to be a substance in red ginseng (ginseng which is dried in hot air and steamed), which relaxes blood vessels. This fact shows that red ginseng has peripheral circulation improving properties, and the potential for improving sensitivity to cold and other ailments. Moreover, with its physical anti-fatigue properties, red ginseng is effective against mental tiredness, and has been scientifically proven to increase work efficiency. Also it maintains “normalising properties” which induce the human body toward a normal state, or, in other words, with chemical substances it works on the body against stimulation, microbial contamination, and mental stress, while maintaining hormone balance. Red ginseng strengthens the body’s resistance in particular by regulating the secretion of the adrenal cortical hormone, and also has resistance strengthening effects against diseases. Metabolic function normalising properties which act in this way have another side. That is, they activate tired five viscera (lungs, heart, spleen, liver and kidney). This results in revived sexual function. Apart from these, many clinical cases have reported the following concrete effects of ginseng: improved digestion, intestinal regulation, pain in the chest, vomiting, low blood pressure, poor circulation, anemia, convalescent nourishment recovery, relieving fatigue, stamina reinforcement, aging prevention, treatment of the autonomic imbalance and others.

Caterpillar fungusCaterpillar fungus/Tochukaso (Cordyceps sinensis) Traditional cure-all, now revived as a “modern secret medicine” The mushroom (or spore) of the ascomycota phylum parasitises insects (generally bees, butterflies, moths, spiders, larvae such as beetles, pupa, and imago) and the sclerotium pervades through their bodies. When the time comes, stalk-like fruiting bodies emerges from the heads and joint parts of the insects ; these are collectively called “caterpillar fungus”. The Chinese characters describe the insect transforming into a mushroom. In China, it is also called "insect grass (虫草)", and Sichuan, Qinghai, and the Tibetan Plateau are particularly famous as production areas. With 20 species unique to Japan (including purpureocillium atypicola, cordyceps sobolifera, and cordyceps nutans) and 60 unique to China, as many as between 350 to 400 species are known to exist. The spore is still attached to the insect’s body, and the entire body is dried in the shade before use. ...With regards to Chinese Medicinal books, Caterpillar fungus often makes appearances in classical literature, including Qing’s Wu Yi Luo’s “Ben Cao Cong Xin” published in 1757. It is said to be traditionally esteemed as a noble nutritious tonic medicine, as told when the Chinese Emperor Shi Huangdi and Princess Yang Guifei desired Caterpillar fungus in hope of perpetual youth and longevity. Regarding its medicinal effects, the Ben Cao Cong Xin says it “supplements the lungs and kidneys”. Research into Caterpillar fungus in Japan in recent times began 20 years ago, and its effects can even be said to be universal, treating the central neural (sedative effect), immunity, anti-cancer, cardiovascular (preventing arteriosclerosis), the respiratory system (improving asthma, etc), diabetes-improving and energy metabolism building, and energy strengthening effects and others. Yet, ever since these universal effects were communicated from ancient Chinese texts, one after another epoch-making achievements regarding Caterpillar fungus, including anti-cancer properties, efficacy toward feebleness symptoms, anemia and impotency, improved blood pressure, and bronchodilatation effects, have been reported by numerous researchers and research organisations.

Notoginseng denshichiPanax notoginseng (also known as pseudoginseng) - for recovery from fatigue, regulating blood pressure, prevention against cancer, reduction in stool amount, and beautifying skin. Panax notoginseng is of the Araliaceae family which originates in South West China (Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi Provinces) It has other names including the Japanese name Ninjinsanshichi, pseudoginseng and sanshichi. It’s rare name sanshichi (meaning three-seven) is said to be because it takes 3 to 7 years for the root to grow to the size needed for use. Another claim is that it is because the seven parts of its leaf are attached to the point of three branches, which grow out from each stem. Panax notoginseng became one of the top secret medicines among a variety of herbal medicines, so much so in the Yunnan province that it has been called since ancient times “jīn bù huàn” (meaning, ‘priceless’). ...Panax notoginseng’s blood clotting effects have been known since ancient times. It is written in the Shennong Ben Cao Jing that panax notoginseng is “remarkably effective as a medicine for wounds in the battlefield”. The book also points out that while ginseng is the “number one supplement for ch’i”, panax notoginseng is the “number one supplement for treating blood”. Panax notoginseng is widely known as a nutritious tonic for recovery from fatigue, regulating blood pressure, treating angina, cerebral hemorrhages and autonomic ataxia, reducing the amount of stool produced, beautifying skin, and other positive effects. According to clinical research by Dr. Tekkan Shigeno, who conducts medicinal practice based on food dynamics theory, panax notoginseng can eliminate feelings of depression due to low blood pressure, while at the same time it maintains lowering high blood pressure, and decreases GOT and GPT levels in chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. It is said to have effects including eliminating urinary occult blood reactions in chronic nephritis. A report giving “examples of improvement in chronic type O hepatitis which interferons did not adapt to” (Japan Society for Oriental Medicine, 1995), conducted by Dr. Naomi Yokoda of Imai Hospital, has indicated new aspects of panax notoginseng. Recently, special components called ketone, discovered in panax notoginseng in China, have been proven to show excellent effects in improving ailments such as angina and numerous coronary artery diseases in today’s sufferers. Also, saponin (glycoside) in panax notogineng - several times more is found than in ginseng - has revealed properties including body slimming effects such as decreasing levels of cholesterol in the blood and inhibiting lipid peroxide generation. There are also medical effects which include enhanced immunity, synthetic promotion of nucleic acid, improved blood sugar levels, and sedation of the central nervous system. Saponin works synergistically with other active ingredients, and many research publications state that it works effectively against abnormalities related to immunity such as cancer and allergies, or rheumatism. There is also research being done in Yunnan province regarding panax notoginseng’s anti-cancer properties. Moreover, at the Japan Cancer Association (1995), Professor Takao Kijima (Kyoto Pharmaceutical University) has reported the following with regards to laboratory findings from mice; “[We] recognised noticeable anti-cancer properties [in panax notoginseng] more than other ginseng”. Subsequently, further research has proceeded in universities including Shizuoka Pharmaceutical, Showa and Kyoto Pharamaceutical. (Efficacy) “Slightly sweet and a little bitter, hot and moist with an aftertaste. Effective for causing body fluids to be produced, rehydrating dryness, increasing positivity, and supporting and warming the body under extreme fatigue.” (Gu fang yao pin kao – Thoughts on Ancient Medicines) “Mainly curing epigastric and general discomfort and resistance, and curing muscle strain. It cures lack of appetite, vomiting, overproduction of saliva,, stomach ache, and agonising feeling of heat and palpitations in the chest, particularly in the heart.

Garlic and fermented garlicGarlic extract. Both a tonic and aphrodisiac. Effective against high blood pressure. Garlic (allium sativum) has been known to be effective since ancient times, being used in ancient Egypt, India and China as a spice and a tonic medicine. In Kampo medicine, it is said to work to treat sweating, alleviation from fever, respiratory disease, asthma, digestive issues, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other ailments. Scientific explanations regarding the active ingredients in garlic have advanced greatly, thanks to the late Professor Ohata who succeeded in 1936 in being the first to discover and extract scordinine. Furthermore, during the 1940’s allicin and alliin were discovered by American and Swiss scientists, resulting in proof of garlic’s effectiveness. Scordinine is garlic’s aroma, as well as other unrelated components, and is an ingredient which exhibits analeptic effects. Through strong oxidation reduction, these properties energise and completely burn up nutrients that enters the body. As a result, because scordine’s properties rejuvenate the body tissue and promote metabolism, it has shown positive effects including robust health, relief from fatigue, increased appetite, and detoxification. Alliin is an amino acid which has no smell of its own, but is changed by the acid allicin found in garlic, revealing garlic’s strong scent. The effects of allicin provides strong antibacterial power, and is proven to be effective against parasitic worms and protozoa including salmonella, cholera, tubercle bacillus and mycobacterium leprae. Yet, in recent years a method which masks the effect of allicin, being garlic’s particular smell - a huge factor in people being resistant to garlic - has been developed without eliminating allicin itself. Thus, processed “odorless garlic” is now a product which is selling on the market today. Moreover, garlic prevents the action of aneurinase enzymes which dissolve vitamin B1, playing a major part in allowing vitamin B1 to remain in the body for a long period of time. It is also useful for beriberi prevention. The explanation of garlic’s active ingredient is still no more than partly formed. It is thought to be other trace components, including germanium and others, and a new explanation of its effects can be expected. The effects of garlic are understood today to include: a tonic effect, aphrodisiac properties, used for treating the common cold and tuberculosis, sleeplessness, chills, parasites, hemorrhoids, and for improving constipation (constipation is alleviated, making the blood circulation of the affected part better and recovery is hastened). It also speeds up recovery from fatigue and relaxes mental and muscle pain, and, according to animal experiments, high blood pressure arterio sclerosis. Garlic also has is very promising for possible cancer prevention.
