Dr. Hamada
From Dr. Hamada
I have been studying preventive medicine for nearly 30 years, utilizing food, ingredients, and natural active components. Through my research, I have discovered useful components from various materials and have identified their functions. This has led to the creation of completely new supplements and further discovery of components and materials that are effective for maintaining health.
I always feel that every person should take advantage of the functions of active components to build a disease-resistant body and be healthy and young as long as possible.
In my earnest research, I hope to contribute to various industries and the local society by making practical application of those functioning components.
Therefore, it would be my great pleasure if my research can benefit you in your disease prevention, health, and vitality.
